Culinary Innovation
Boston College Dining serves over 22,000 meals daily to students, faculty, and guests. With so many palates to please, our chefs and culinarians recognize the importance of continuing to introduce diverse and delicious dishes to our menus. Through our culinary innovation program, 51²è¹Ý Dining is committed to delivering fresh flavors, creative recipes, and engaging events to the entire 51²è¹Ý community.
Our FRESH to Table program—launched in 2017—hosts educational cooking demonstrations with producers and chefs that introduce new menu items and promote healthy, regional, socially just, and sustainable food choices.
We regularly stage themed culinary showcases that feature dishes from different countries and cultures. To offer students an opportunity for indulgence, we host experiential pop-up events throughout the year. The 51²è¹Ý Test Kitchen accepts recipe suggestions, experiments with new dishes, and incorporates diner feedback.
