Bon Appetit makes a menu change for this week

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

Due to the large number of visiting students and parents who will be on campus for Bruin Preview this Friday, we are changing our normal Friday Burger Day to Wednesday. We’re doing this in order to speed up the level of service for everyone, as Burger Day lines tend to move pretty slowly.

Along with that, please try to come to lunch either before noon or after 12:45 p.m. on Friday in order to avoid the lines. We can guarantee they will be long.

Thanks,
Bon Appetit
