We will be adding more new entrees, salads and sandwiches made from scratch on our On Display Station. Offering a variety of choices ensures students will find an entree that they will enjoy, and allow us to introduce new recipes to those who like trying new things. New recipes like Italian Stromboli and Chicken Divan are made with whole ingredients instead of processed food items. We understand that changing students eating habits cannot happen overnight, but we feel it is our responsibility to expose our customers to a healthier menu, and encourage them to try new things.

The menu page has some information on new recipes so you are aware of what the items contain.
