Fun with Foodservice License Plates

FOODLDY: Nancy Levandowski, dining director, Iowa State University, shows off her vanity plate.

Consider what happened to Paula Montgomery, child nutrition supervisor, Fairborn (OH) City Sc hools, a few years ago. Her license plate is “LNCH LDY.”

“This is embarrassing. I owned a Jag. I was at an Ohio Department of Education meeting regarding school nutrition programs,” Montgomery says. “The location was in a city north of my hometown and I was somewhat lost. As I sat at a stop sign to try and get a sense of direction, a young man who looked to be about 17 was willing to help me,” she says. “He was on a bike but could tell I was lost. He was a very nice, and stopped to give me directions. Then he said, ‘No problem, Lunch Lady! Boy…there must be a lot of money in corn dogs!’”
