GRAND PRIZE:
UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO The University of San Diego is a Roman Catholic institution with 8,321 undergraduate, graduate, and law students. We are in Princeton Review’s “Best 378 Colleges” and ranked number 18 in “Best Campus Food.” La Paloma is a dining retail unit within USD Dining, part of the selfoperated Auxiliary Services department with the Business Services division of campus. Our credo is: “Enjoy globally inspired, simple, sustainable, local food for your mind and body.” A 2013 remodel allowed for a more in-depth, sustainable menu, improved traffic flow, additional seating, and lively décor. Our menu is innovative yet simple, with sustainable, local food at its core. We support the university’s commitment to academic excellence by serving as the first dining facility that can be utilized as an academic lab. Through our Catholic identity, La Paloma strives to be better stewards of Earth and its resources. Food products are sourced from as many local and eco-friendly vendors as possible. This includes farms that have organic and sustainable practices, meat sources that are certified hormone and antibiotic-free meat sources, companies that adhere to sustainable practices such as seafood caught with the “pole & line” method, and more. Foods are proudly made from scratch whenever possible with high-quality “clean ingredients.”
