SECTION 1
MEET BON APPÉTIT WHO IS Trine DINING? At Bon Appétit, our passion is creating community through food. We make more than 200 million meals each year at college campuses, workplaces and cultural institutions that are not only delicious, but also embody core values, such as made-from-scratch cooking, wellness, dignity, and sustainability. We strive to purchase at least 20% of our ingredients from smaller owner-operated farms and ranches within 150 miles of our kitchen. As a company, we are committed to a plantforward future. Our chefs plate plants first, making them the star of the dish, while using meat and fish as strategic accents. We take a macro view of wellness. Our menus are designed not just to optimize your health, but to help our communities and environment thrive, too. Our food is cooked from scratch, including sauces, stocks, and soups. (Salsa, too!) A pioneer in environmentally sound sourcing policies, we’ve developed programs addressing local purchasing, overuse of antibiotics, sustainable seafood, the food– climate change connection, humanely raised meat and eggs, and farmworkers’ rights. We’re grateful to have been recognized by many leading foundations, nonprofits, and industry associations for our work.
A LETTER FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER Dear students and families, Welcome to Trine Dining! Here, we believe dining is more than just a meal — it’s a chance to connect, collaborate, and build community. Our dynamic dining spaces are designed to be more than places to eat. They’re where ideas are shared, friendships are formed, and campus life comes alive. As the General Manager, my goal is to make sure every student feels nourished and supported, both in body and spirit. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite between classes or settling in for a meal with friends, we’re here to make your experience memorable. We’re excited to welcome you and can’t wait to serve you! Warm regards, Jackie Kramer jacilyn.kramer@cafebonappetit.com
