Bon Appetit celebrates Eat Local Challenge Day
Come to “the Bon” for dinner tonight (Tuesday) between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. as we celebrate our annual Eat Local Challenge Day. Our chefs will be preparing an expo menu item during dinner that is sourced entirely from within 150 miles of campus.
This year, in honor of our “Farm to Fork” program’s 15th anniversary, Bon Appetit is giving back to the partners who have helped to make us who we are, this time to “Fork to Farm.” Our company is awarding 10 $5,000 grants, two in each geographic region, that our vendors can use to grow their business.
In addition to enjoying a delicious locally sourced meal, you can help choose the winners by visiting our information table and voting on your favorite of the finalist’s proposed projects. Winners will be announced on Sept. 29. You can read all about the fork to farm grant finalists here.
