Dining Services will immediately implement several new changes, including adding more items to the C-meal program and bringing back some favorite dishes to the Stein, according to an e-mail that Dining Services sent yesterday to the members of the Student Dining Services Advisory Committee.
These changes were discussed in a meeting last Thursday between the committee and Aramark.
According to the e-mail, which was shared with the Justice, the C-meal program in the Provisions on Demand Market will now include "vegan noodle options that are prepared and packaged on-site as part of the existing grab and go program," as well as Dannon yogurt and soy milk. At Einstein Bros. Bagels, the C-meal program will now include the Bistro salad, roasted turkey sandwich, tuna sandwich and bananas.
'Deis Dip and sweet potato fries will return to the Stein menu immediately, according to the e-mail from Dining Services. The e-mail also says that "the return of the '5 and 5' Menu" will be "coming soon."
According to Jenna Brofsky '10, co-chair for the committee, the '5 and 5' menu will become a permanent part of the menu and will offer five dishes that cost $5 each so that students can use the five-dollar meal equivalency at the Stein. Brofsky also explained that Dining Services implemented the "5 and 5" menu last semester, but it was unsuccessful.
This will "include the requested return of grilled cheese with tomato and tuna melt," according to the Dining Services e-mail.
Brofsky explained that these items were removed from the menu after the Stein was no longer open for lunch. She said that Dining Services tried to remove lunch options from the regular dinner menu in order to focus more on dinner options, "but [the committee] explained that people still eat grilled cheese for dinner."
The Kosher To-Go program in Usdan will include a "new sandwich and salad cycle, including the return of the requested favorite Italian sub."
