Birthday Party Planned for UC s Award-Winning Restaurant
UCs CenterCourt, the all-you-care-to eat residential restaurant in the Campus Recreation Center Complex, celebrates a year of leading the nation in trends in college food preparation.
The birthday celebration begins at 11 a.m., Wednesday, Jan. 17, when the staff sings the Happy Birthday song.
Birthday cake will be offered at all seven of CenterCourts taste stations.
Spyros Gravas, director of Board Operations, says CenterCourt not only changed trends in college dining, but was also key in the transformation of UCs campus offering late dining hours for students, employees and visitors who are learning, working and playing along UCs MainStreet corridor.
The restaurant holds UCs first brick oven for fresh breads, pizzas and pastries, as well as a Mongolian Grill that features food selections from around the world. In addressing the Campus Recreation Centers efforts to promote healthier lifestyles, Gravas adds that CenterCourts Just for You vegan and vegetarian selections, as well as nutritional kiosks that provide information on fats, carbs, cholesterol and sodium content in food selections, make CenterCourt a standout campus restaurant nationally.
CenterCourt received national acclaim last summer when it was awarded the gold medal and grand prize in the single stand-alone concept category from the National Association of College and University Food Services (NACUFS).
