Β颹’s award-winning Dining Services team has cooked up a ghoulishly good time for Halloween.

Despite the many logistical challenges associated with the pandemic, Dining Services has continued to offer students the opportunity to unwind over delicious meals, including elaborate theme dinners.

For its Halloween-inspired Gothic Gala on Oct. 29, students and staff decorated the Murray-Aikins Dining Hall with requisite spiders and skeletons, dressed in their darkest costumes, decorated pumpkins and participated in other activities.

The menu included dreadful delights such as zombie-brain stew (a vegan chili with spaghetti squash and seasonal vegetables), crispy gut-gushing jungle beetles (better known as jalapeno poppers) and honey-glazed β€œscarrots.”

Β颹’s Dining Services team has won gold medals year after year at American Culinary Federation competitions and has received accolades for offering some of the in the nation.

Previous theme dinners have been inspired by the likes of Harry Potter, β€œGame of Thrones,” β€œStar Wars” and many other fun themes.
