I cannot wait for The Eatery to open and welcome everyone to try it out in January.
The college invites all students, employees and the community to join in on this new beacon of conscientious and creative dining called The Eatery, where every bite is a celebration of local flavor and ethical sourcing.
The Eatery, nestled in the vibrant heart of the Yavapai College Prescott Campus in Building 3, will seamlessly marry nutrition, food quality and sustainability. It will prioritize freshness, flavor and nutritional value, offering diverse dishes that cater to various dietary preferences and needs and an updated seasonal menu.
The commitment to sustainability is evident in the menu, where each dish is crafted with precision and passion, showcasing the finest ingredients sourced from local resources. In addition, a focus will be on food and waste management, energy efficiency and menu planning, which will create a more environmentally friendly and socially responsible operation.
The culinary team overseeing The Eatery features a group of locally renowned chefs from some of the area’s most esteemed restaurants. Led by Director Aimee Novak and Assistant Director Tony Burris, these chefs bring a wealth of expertise, creativity and a deep understanding of local flavors to the kitchen.
In addition to the new cuisine, Yavapai College is renovating its current dining layout, updating its seating, and overall optimizing the space to create a comfortable and inviting environment for patrons.
The full menu is still in development but will include breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts, a smoothie bar and a coffee bar.
I cannot wait for The Eatery to open and welcome everyone to try it out in January.
