SRU Food Show

The SRU food show in the Smith Student Center took place on Wednesday November, 4. The event began at eleven in the morning and went to two in the afternoon.  The purpose of the event was to find new food that would appear on campus in  places like Boozel.  Vendors from different companies set up tables and readily handed out food to students in hopes that they would win their vote.  This event is held yearly and many students look forward to it for the obvious reason, getting free food.  This event is also a great way for students to socialize and to meet new people.  It's also a great way for students to learn about vendors by talking to them.

The event was a great way for students to get out of their comfort zone and to try new foods.  All the food was free and it was a great way to taste test new things from companies like the following:

• Pepsi
• Concept
• Vie Di France
• EFD Associates
• Schneider's Dairy
• Ritchie Marketing
• Acosta 
• Key Impact
• Asm/ Waypoint
• Great Lakes Cheese
• Sirna And Sons Produce
• Schwebel Baking Company

After students explored the vendors, they were encouraged to vote for their favorite vendor by tweeting at @SRUDinning.  This event was a great way for students to have a say as to what foods they would be eating on campus.  The vendor who gets the most tweets wins and will be able to have their product in the dinning hall.

The vendors were eager to talk to students in hopes that they would vote for them.  The vendor from Vie Di France was really passionate about his pastry dish he was serving and was more than happy to talk to students in hopes that he would win their vote.  He served a chocolate croissant pastry dish that he hopes to see appear in Boozel.  This was my favorite vendor and he had the best food!  Other vendors like Schneider's Dairy served chocolate eggnog that tasted like a chocolate milkshake.  Schneider's explained how this would be a good seasonal beverage to have in Boozel.

Whatever vendors get the most votes will appear in Boozel.   This event is important because students get to have a say in what they eat.  Get to voting so that you can eat what you want in the dinning hall!
