The dining hall is where mornings start, friendships form, game days end, and study sessions stretch into the night.

When campus dining works, it disappears into the rhythm of student life. When it doesn't, everyone notices.

New on the Table Talk Blog: what a different kind of campus dining partnership looks like.

A rebrand isn't just a new logo. It's a decision about who you are and where you're headed.

On the latest episode of Seasoned Leaders, Upper Crust CEO Adam Guy and Hoot Design Company owner Kristen Brown take you behind the scenes of the Upper Crust rebrand. Hear why we made the call to rebrand, what we learned in the process, and how we're defining the company we're becoming.

When the house puts in a request, our chefs deliver. Even when that request is pickle pizza.

The result was a homemade pickle pizza served with a side of fried pickles and a chapter full of students who weren't sure what to expect and ended up asking when it would be back on the menu.

This is what cooking with the chapter, not just for the chapter, looks like.

One of the quiet advantages of building a multi-vertical food service company is that our chefs work year-round.

When the academic calendar winds down, many of our culinary team members move into summer camp kitchens. They are feeding hundreds of campers, sharpening their skills in a new environment, and keeping their craft in motion through what would otherwise be an off-season.

It's good for our chefs, camp partners, and the campuses we return to in the fall because the same team that closed out the spring semester is the one cooking on move-in day.

There's something universal about a sweet treat.

It doesn't matter how old you are, what kind of day you're having, or whether you "have room for dessert." When somebody hands you a dip cone, you take it.

Our chefs know that. Which is why they make theirs from scratch with homemade chocolate shells instead of pulling something out of a box.

The small stuff matters. We show up.

The 2026 UCFS Annual Conference is a wrap and the energy says it all. From the chefs in our kitchens to the leaders in the field, our team came together to sharpen what we do best: show up for the people we serve.

New ideas, familiar faces, and a whole lot of momentum heading into the rest of the year.

What started as a solution to one challenge became one of our fastest-growing service areas.

In Episode 7 of Seasoned Leaders, we explore how finding summer opportunities for Greek house chefs opened the door to serving camps across the country. Along the way, we discuss what it really takes to run camp food service successfully—from building strong teams and maintaining safe kitchens to creating reliable systems that support campers, staff, and leadership alike.

Listen now and hear how one idea turned into an opportunity to serve even more communities.

For 34 years, students at La Lumiere have shared the flavors of their homelands with the school community in one extraordinary tasting event. This year, our team partnered with 10 international student teams to scale recipes, source ingredients from local ethnic grocers, and bring more than 100 dishes to life together. To the students who trusted us with their family recipes: Thank You.

Things you got into camp for:
The campers. The community. The chaos that becomes a kid's best summer.

Things you didn't:
Food costs. Kitchen staffing. Wondering if Monday breakfast will come together.

We've got the kitchen. You've got the summer. Read more on the Table Talk Blog — https://bit.ly/4o8kPJr

"The moms in my family were 100% my inspiration for a lifelong career in hospitality and culinary excellence."

A few weeks back on Mother's Day, our chef Cameron Huber honored his mom the way he knows best, by cooking for the people in his house.

On the menu: a brunch spread featuring homemade Dubai Chocolate Bacon.
