Food & Beverage
Our chefs use organic, local and farmed-fresh foods wherever possible. We are committed to using RBGH-free milk, antibiotic- and hormone-free chicken and cage-free eggs. Our beef is 100 percent grass-fed, and our fish is never frozen.
Utilizing Waste Not 2.0, a waste-tracking program by Compass Group, our team is able to monitor our efforts to decrease food waste. Year-to-date, we have diverted 206,000 lbs and counting to compost. Additionally, more than 8,300 lbs of coffee grounds have gone to UT’s landscaping efforts.
