Lions andTigers and Bears…OH MY! PURDUE

Week Two and Three
Have you ever wondered where delicious On The Go foods are prepared?
At the Central Production Kitchen they make wraps, sandwiches and other types of foods for the Grab and Go retail places around campus. Below is a picture of all the food we prepared over an entire work day at the Central Production Kitchen.

Do you ever wonder where college students get their sweet treats?
Pappy’s is a sweet shop located at the Student Union right on campus. They have a variety of milkshakes with every imaginable topping and mouthwatering burgers and fries. Our second week here we worked as employees at Pappy’s and learned how to make milkshakes along with serving  food to guests.  We worked during Future Farmers of America Convention when the line was out the door for three hours. I think we got the real Pappy’s experience and it was amazing!


Above is a picture of Holly setting up the ice cream station which she worked for the Business Awards Ceremony.  The event was over 100 people! Yes, the gals got to ride the ice cream bike around campus.

Above is a picture of all four interns working a Wedding rehearsal dinner at Pappy’s! We served seventy five people buffet style and we had such an incredible time. We enjoyed meeting the staff and getting to know their perspective on Pappy’s.

The Food Tour
Week three we spent most of our time preparing for the Food Tour. The Food Tour is an event that happens in late July where dining services administrative staff receives a tour of different food locations around downtown Lafayette. There are four different routes and the staff is split into four different groups. Our task was to map out the routes and see how long it takes to get from place to place on the tour. We were able to explore downtown while visiting restaurants, small shops and trying different foods.
Every summer downtown Lafayette has a different theme for animal statues. This summer’s theme is lions and tigers and bears (Oh, my). While on the tour we took pictures of the bears to include in the food tour along with the one single tiger we found! Below are some pictures of the food tour routes and the bears we saw along the way.
