Time out from all the talk of bowl food. It’s back to school and for the traditionalists for whom lunch is a sandwich, may we suggest you seek inspiration from Applegate Farms? Their Organic Hot Dog may have been the hit of the summer, but the newest Applegate offering, yogurt cheese, may be the talk of back-to-school.
