Chef David Lewis
We’ve been busy over the summer working on a variety of projects to help make this year a great experience for you. Here’s some of what’s new:
Chef David Lewis has introduced South Asian cuisine at Boardwalk Café, Chef Jay Perry has introduced four new salads at lunch at Cooper’s Creek BBQ, and Chef Bruce Hoerauf has introduced new signature sandwiches at Cascadia Market.
Chef Bruce Hoerauf
And speaking of Cascadia Market, we’ve significantly expanded the variety of groceries and fresh produce, as well as slashed prices. Also in the International Living-Learning Center we’ve partnered with Peet’s Coffee and Tea out of San Francisco to bring another high quality coffeehouse to the students and staff of OSU.
In addition, in response to the many requests to open Arnold Dining Center on the weekends, Arnold Dining is now open seven days a week.
On Nov. 9 at Marketplace West we will be celebrating the culture and cuisine of the Mediterranean region. Dinner is $8. Invite your friends for a fun evening while sampling the amazing flavors of the countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. See more information on this event below.
Chef Jay Perry
We have a very responsive culinary team and want to serve you as best we can. We welcome your input and look forward to a great year ahead. Let us know how we are doing by sharing your feedback.
Best regards,
Rich Turnbull, UHDS Associate Director
