This time, we’re stepping behind the scenes. Our new marketing intern, Alisha, caught up with Chef Jimmy to learn what it takes to keep our kitchen moving: from early mornings and menu planning to the meals that challenge our team most.

Food is fuel: but it’s also so much more.

It’s culture. It’s community. It’s tradition. It’s connection. And sometimes, it’s a little taste of home.

As a new semester begins, we’re ready to welcome Bluejays back around the table, where great food, familiar favorites, new experiences, and a sense of home are all part of campus life.

Here’s to a great fall semester.

Jimmy is flipping the script! 🎤 This time, he’s putting someone from our marketing team in the hot seat for Meal Plan FAQs.

From the biggest meal plan misconception and the most overlooked dining resource to getting the most value from every swipe and dollar, Jimmy came prepared with plenty of questions! We even share what we would do with a meal plan as a first-year student and the biggest tip we think every Bluejay should know.

Whether you’re choosing a meal plan, still figuring out how yours works, or just want to make sure you’re getting the most from it, this episode is for you. Watch now—and let us know which meal plan question Jimmy should ask next!
