Bon Appetit to replace Aramark by summer
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “sga”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers the planned replacement of Aramark with Bon Appetit in campus dining.
- The News-Letter reported that Bon Appetit will replace Aramark on the Homewood Campus after Aramark’s seven-year contract ends, with operations beginning during the summer term.
- The paper reported that the selection followed research and proposal reviews, while the process included continuous committee meetings, college visits and facility reviews.
- The article quotes SGA Executive Vice President Alex Schupper saying students remained disappointed with dining and that the university did not want to accept an option the community disliked.
- The reporter writes that Bon Appetit provides food services to corporations and colleges, and that its stated practices include scratch cooking, seasonal ingredients, sustainability and local produce.
- The article adds that Schupper expects more menu choices for gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian and kosher diets, and that Bon Appetit discussed possibly adding a live sushi chef in Nolan’s.
- According to the article, the change will affect all on-campus dining locations; Einstein’s will be replaced by a new café in Charmar, and Schupper expects students to see the full impact by 2015.
