Grand View College in Des Moines puts a new spin on the traditional Italian theme, with foods from both Northern and Southern regions. Sodexho Marriott Services officials say that the cooking exhibitions held each semester have been greeted warmly by the university communities. At Buena Vista University in Storm Lake for example, Sodexho Marriott Services General Manager Tim Lookabill says the number of faculty and staff members eating in the dining hall grows by about 10 times on exhibition days. They've been very popular with employees of the university who enjoy learning how to cook a new cuisine. And our chefs get to test-drive some new recipes and see how they go over with the students and faculty.
People look forward to it.
There's been a similar reaction at Graceland University, where the enthusiasm for the exhibitions has led the account team to increase the number of events. It's been great for our customers and our chef.
