Our Food Philosophy

We are passionate about food and we believe in wholesome, nutritious ingredients. That is why we are committed to using items healthier for both our bodies and the planet. By purchasing with the following standards in mind, and preparing items so that they are as fresh as possible when served, we support local agriculture, increase nutrition, and intensify flavor. All of our meals served to your student revolve around our Food Philosophy.

Our Food Concept Stations

Bread & Bowl: Bread & Bowl features Made-to-order deli sandwiches, paninis, and homemade soups and breads. All of our sandwiches and wraps include options for students that are gluten-free. We top these options with high-quality meats and cheeses, fresh produce, and garnish with traditional and gourmet condiments.

Grill: Burgers, chicken sandwiches, and sliders are all favorites off of the grill.  We offer those as well as enhanced versions of traditional favorites. Because a cheeseburger is great, but a jalapeno bacon cheeseburger is amazing. Featuring lean 100% beef, turkey, and vegetarian options, the Grill offers something for everyone.

Crust: Pizza is not just a staple for college students, it’s a Chicagoland staple. With traditional hand-tossed favorites, gourmet thin crust options, gluten-free options, calzones, and everything in between – The Crust offers more than just pizza.

Hearth: Everyone loves a home-cooked meal. Hearth aims to deliver just that.  Featuring traditional favorite comfort foods, Hearth brings a taste of home to the table. The best part: you don’t have to do the dishes!

Crave: Nothing compliments a great dining experience like a sweet finish to a delicious meal. Our dessert offerings will feature made-from-scratch, baked in-house items that are portable.

Dash: We understand that classes, work, and athletics can make a student’s already busy schedule even busier. Students can select a variety of hot and cold grab & go items, such as yogurt parfaits, protein boxes, sandwiches and wraps, and much more.
