• Vegetarian/Vegan Station: Fresh, nutritious, vegetarian and vegan entrees are prepared at the station, using as many organic food products daily for lunch and dinner.
• Pizza/sautee station: Create your own omlette from the sautee station at breakfast. We offer fresh vegetables, meats, and cheeses, and egg whites for the healthier option. Choose our delicious hand-tossed pizzas with fresh toppings or pasta with homemade marinara sauce daily for lunch; and at dinner this station becomes a sautee area offering ethnic dishes cooked at the station.
• Grill Station: If you are looking for the all-American meal you can get it for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Breakfast, as an example, is freshly prepared pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, and home-fries. Then we switch to freshly made classic or trendy hot sandwiches, usually accompanied by french fries for lunch and dinner.
• Entrée Station: Try our innovative hot meal options. We offer a freshly prepared lunch and dinner paired with fresh vegetables and homemade side dishes. During brunch we make fluffy Belgian waffles and have many different toppings available.
• Deli bar: Our well-stocked deli bar features many of your favorites. Create your own “dag-wood” or Panini from start to finish. Start with your favorite bread, roll or wrap, add freshly sliced deli meat and cheese or chicken salad; top it with crisp lettuce and tomato; and choose from our many condiments and you have created your sandwich.
• Salad bar: Build a crisp salad with freshly cut lettuce, vegetables and toppings. When available from our purveyor we use organic and local products.
