ASU Nutrition/Health Students to Operate Retail Cafe

The School of Nutrition & Health Promotion at Arizona State University has opened a retail cafe in the school's downtown Phoenix campus that is staffed by nutrition students enrolled in the program's Management of Food Systems course, reports the Downtown Devil student paper. Called the Kitchen Cafe, the nonprofit venue is open four days a week for breakfast and lunch, serving healthful menu selections and is independent of the university's campus dining program, which is managed by Aramark. Future plans call for start of an onsite garden that will supply Kitchen Cafe with fresh fruits and vegetables.
