Redlands Daily Facts: Going far out to eat locally
When students meandered in for lunch Tuesday at the University of Redlands Commons, they studied Bon Appétit’s offerings a little more carefully than usual.
Pizza was not available, nor was rice. Soda fountain treats were not an option. Navel oranges? Not a chance.
It was Bon Appétit’s Eat Local Challenge. The challenge may not have been so much for students to find something good to eat as it was for chefs to come up with food made from ingredients grown or produced within a 150-mile radius of the university.
