The Food Scene

Transcript

I don’t know about you, but this is the point in the episode where I start to get a little hungry. Luckily there’s no shortage of delicious, nutritious and sustainable food options at the University of Montana. Sophomore John is here to tell us more about the dining scene on campus and in Missoula.

– Thank you, Alex, what’s up everyone. Like many of you choosing a college was a tough decision for me, but in the end, the accolades earned by UM’s Business College convinced me to come to this beautiful campus. Of course, another attractive feature about UM and Missoula is the food scene. I have found so many great dining options, both on and off campus. The University Center Dining Hall has some of the most diverse food options, including my favorite big sky burgers. Off-campus my favorite lunch place is a Brazilian grill called Five On Black, which was actually started by UM alum. And for breakfast, my personal favorite is a little burrito shop called the Breakfast Club, which easily has my vote for best breakfast in Missoula. Another great thing about the university is its commitment to sustainability through the use of compostable dishware and an impressive garden. Each year we grow 3000 pounds of food, which we eat through university dining or our catering services. The best part is when we have more food than we need, we give it back to the community. And if you’re ever on campus, you have to come visit our gardens ducks. The two best ducks, in my opinion are poppy and duckobery fen. Let’s face it. You’re going to be spending a lot of time on campus and you need great food to fuel your studies and activities. While there are many great reasons to come to the University of Montana, the good food is just the icing on the cake. See what I did there, back to you, Alex.

– Good one, John, I’m impressed with the dining options on campus and the ways UM incorporate sustainability into their food service. And that’s also true of the restaurant scene here in Missoula, which I am loving by the way, especially that Brazilian grill. This is clearly a community that values delicious food and sustainable practices, thanks again.
