North Dakota State University students majoring in hospitality and dietetics have planned a fine dining opportunity on Tuesday, Feb. 16, and Thursday, Feb. 18, from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in the lower level of the West Dining Center.

Foods From Around the World is planned for Tuesday. Managed by Laura Gerwood, the meal includes a Greek tomato salad with fresh basil served with bruschetta, a bacon wrapped stuffed chicken breast on a bed of long grain and wild rice, dilled baby carrots and a garnish of watercress and a wedge of orange flesh. The meal ends with orange sherbet topped with mint, served in a fresh orange.

A Mardi Gras Feast is planned for Thursday. Managed by Chelsea Leff, the Cajun inspired meal will include a Creole salad with a spicy Cajun vinaigrette, a spicy Cajun jambalaya and a chocolate chipotle brownie with fresh whipped cream for dessert.

Students prepare all meals from scratch in the test kitchen in West Dining Center. Sherri Nordstrom Stastny, assistant professor of health, nutrition, and exercise sciences, plans each meal with the cooperation of the participating students and NDSU Dining Services.
