Yes, Chef!

Chef Malik Hamilton brings to the table an enthusiastic curiosity about the food we consume every day in our homes, our communities, and our schools.

For over twenty-five years he has navigated the food service industry in the kitchens of award-winning restaurants, caterers, resorts, festivals, and universities. For the last six years, this Chatham University Masters in Food Studies alum has begun to position himself as a leader in the K12 Food Service industry in Southwest Pennsylvania and beyond.

In coordination with the Pittsburgh Good Food Coalition and the Pittsburgh Food Policy Council, he recently played a key role in bringing a Good Food Purchasing Policy to Pittsburgh Public Schools. He serves as the Bid Committee Chair for the Pittsburgh Regional Food Service Directors buying co-op and holds a seat on the Board of Directors for the Pittsburgh Food Policy Council.

With a pantry full of Jell-O® at his disposal, he endeavors to LEARN, SHARE, and CHANGE, the power, place and potential of school food in our lives.
