Food and Nutrition Services kicked off a summer of culinary delights on Wednesday by firing up the grill in front of Cox South. Lunchtime diners were treated to grilled chicken, pulled pork hamburgers and hot dogs with all the trimmings.
The event was the first in the cafeteria’s “summer promo,” which features new themes and dishes four days a week. Jason Bauer, Assistant Director of Retail and Production in Food and Nutrition Services, details the promotion:
Meatless Mondays
On Mondays there will be no meat served in the entrée section of the cafeteria. This is to help decrease our carbon footprint, help with cutting calories due to high fat meat products and help promote meatless dishes.
Restaurant Tuesdays
We are teaming up with local restaurants in our cafeteria, on Tuesdays this summer.
The restaurants are going to give CoxHealth three healthy recipes that they serve in their establishment that we will serve in the cafeteria.
Some of the restaurants participating include: Valentine’s, Ocean Zen, The Balanced Palate, Social Suppers and Tuscan Grill.
Grill Out Wednesday
On this day we will be grilling out by the water fountain. We will feature a leaner burger and chicken every week but will have a new dish on the grill weekly, such as a chipotle burger.
Action Station Thursday
We have an action station daily, however, through the summer months we will be bringing back salads at the action station and/or will be serving new dishes every week on this day.
Friday Wraps
On Fridays we will continue serving wraps at the action station.
The “Summer Promo” will run through August.
