Nutrition Month is well underway— and our culinary teams have been hard at work implementing our Menus of Change principle of 'Serve More Kinds of Seafood More Often'.

To celebrate Nutrition Month, our team at Davenport University Dining has added a savory Pastrami Smoked Salmon Benedict to their breakfast menu rotation.

In addition to serving more seafood, our teams are educating diners on the benefits of eating more seafood more often, sustainability, preparation methods, and much more.

Last weekend, we were both honored and fortunate to not only be a sponsor at the annual Michigan Restaurant & Lodging Association ProStart Culinary Competition but our very own, Coty Seaver, in collaboration with the KRESA Culinary Arts Competition team, mentored 4 super-talented high school students in preparation for the competition.

We are proud to announce that their students placed 6th out of 10 teams!

Special thanks to Kharen Warfield Shelton and Coty Seaver for all their time, energy, and effort in mentoring these talented students throughout this culinary competition.

Thank you to our very own Jane Newton and Jay Sharkey for representing us as judges at this year’s competition, and congratulations to the KRESA Students on an amazing display of their culinary skills.
