    On Tuesday, September 29th, Bon Appétit at Penn Dining hosted the 2009 Eat Local Challenge. Within each café, there was one designated station highlighting a lunch option made with ingredients from within 150 miles of Penn. (The only exception is salt.) The challenge provided an opportunity for Penn faculty, staff and students to not only demonstrate support for a better earth, but to also rally the President’s Climate Action Plan in creating a more sustainable campus environment.

     

    The best of the season's harvest!

    Bon Appétit’s cafés serve up affordable, restaurant quality food prepared by

    Inspiring them to seek out what their local farmers have to offer!
