I scream! You scream! We all… well, you get it. We wanted to start the semester off with something fun! Ice cream socials totally qualify. We had a great time handing out ice cream. Chatting with students and @otterbeinu staff about their week and how they’re feeling. It’s a treat for us. We hope it was a (frozen) treat for you too!
WE ARE SO BACK!! One of our favorite annual #FirstFlight events is Picnic at the Rock. Seeing all of these eager and excited first year students and student leaders is a great reminder that Fall Semester is about to begin. We have a lot of fun things in store this year. We hope you enjoyed the food tonight just as much as we enjoyed serving you!
Class of 2025! We’re not ready! Do you really have to go? We know, we know, of course you do. You’re going to fly high Cardinals! It was our honor to host @otterbeinpres’ 2025 Champagne Toast in the renovated Nest. Congrats to all of the grads, enjoy the graduation ceremony tomorrow! (We’re not crying, you’re crying.)
Congratulations to the Otterbein University class of 2025! It has been a pleasure and a privilege to serve you. Several of our team members wanted to offer their congratulations as well. (In multiple languages!) We’re certainly going to miss you and will be rooting for all of you from campus. Don’t be a stranger, come back and see us anytime! 🎓
As the final part of our Knives Out challenge, Chef Teekeh prepared a four-course lunch for our lucky student voter, Izaac! For the first course, he made a strawberry vinaigrette salad. The appetizer was Mongolian Meatballs (stuffed with Boursin cheese). The main entrée was stuffed airline chicken breast (stuffed with spinach, roasted red peppers, and onions), clouded mashed potatoes, asparagus, and blistered tomatoes, in a white wine cream sauce. The meal was wrapped up with beautiful fresh berries and chocolate crème brûlée. Izaac and his seven friends had a great time and loved the food! Thanks again to everyone who voted, and congratulations once again to Chef Teekeh for winning our 2025 Knives Out competition!
Student Appreciation Week rolls on with the Cardy Carnival food theme! That means a build-your-own hot dog bar, fresh squeezed lemonade, fried oreos and popcorn! While it may not be the healthiest meal, it’s definitely delicious! And it will hopefully remind you of those warm summer days spent at your local fair with friends and family. ☀️🎡
This week’s Team Member Tuesday spotlight is on Maisie Hall, one of the talented bakers at The Nest. She’s been here for about 4 months, and she’s helped to create some of the wonderful desserts you’ve likely tried for lunch. When she isn’t making incredible desserts, she’s either going hiking or painting different nature scenes. Her favorite painting that she’s made depicted a vibrant sunset, and she’s currently working on a painting with different kinds of mushrooms. Her favorite dessert is yellow cake, so be sure to grab some when it’s available for lunch!
Today was our Knives Out finale! Chef Teekeh and Executive Chef Gery competed to see who could make the best chicken wings and sauce. Hopefully you got to try them for lunch!
Teekeh made his Winning Wings with Teekeh's Asian Flare Sauce and Parmesan Garlic Sauce. Gery made his Smoked Honey Lemon Pepper Wings with Cilantro Avocado Sauce.
Remember to vote for your favorite wings on our story, or in person at the Otterbein Family Table in the dining room. Keep an eye on our page tomorrow when we announce the winner!
Remember, one lucky student voter will win a three-course dinner for them and up to seven of their friends!
Today, Chef Teekeh and Executive Chef Gery went shopping for ingredients for our Knives Out finale. They both had a set budget for their ingredients, and they made some excellent choices!

The winner of the first round of our Knives Out competition this year is Chef Teekeh, with his hibachi lunch! He'll be choosing what to cook when he faces off against Executive Chef Gery this coming Thursday, April 17th. We hope you'll join us to taste the exciting conclusion of our competition!
#knivesout
That’s a wrap on round one of the Knives Out competition! Hopefully you enjoyed trying the different styles of cuisine and delicious food as much as we did! The winner from this round will be announced tomorrow.

#knivesout
Peggy may not be competing in Knives Out this year, but that doesn’t mean she’s not involved! (Was that a triple negative?) Who will win Peggy’s golden ticket? And will it be enough to help propel them to a win? We’ll find out on Friday after the voting for this round opens! #KnivesOut
Today started our yearly Knives Out cooking competition! Chef Teekeh took over the Bravo station to make a delicious hibachi meal. Hopefully you got a chance to try some for lunch today!
Remember, the competition will continue throughout the week, and your votes will decide the winner! Later in the week, we’ll open online voting on our Instagram page, as well as in-person voting at the Otterbein Family Table in the dining room. One lucky student who votes for the winner will be drawn to win a free three-course dinner for them and up to seven of their friends.

Can you identify what food you’re eating when you’re blindfolded and your ears are covered? These Otterbein Dining team members were hoping that they could! Why? Because our cooking competition, Knives Out, is returning! We have four slots available for chefs to compete next week. But we had a lot more interested candidates. So we did a blind palate challenge to determine who would move on to the cooking phase of the competition! There’s more info in our story. And we’ll send out an email tomorrow with even more info about this culinary battle! #KnivesOut
A big THANK YOU to everyone who tried the Cardy Cuisine items on Thursday and voted for their favorites! You all made history by selecting flavors that will represent the great Cardy name going forward. Peggy’s chicken sandwich and Gery’s cilantro sauce will henceforth be known as the Cardy Sandwich and Cardy Sauce. Congrats to them and thank you again to our guests for participating!
Who doesn't like a beautiful charcuterie board? Or perhaps even better, a beautiful Cardy Charcuterie board? On Thursday, Executive Chef Gery Legra taught a room of eager participants how to do just that! He helped show them how to build a delicious display of meats, cheeses and more to admire and enjoy. Great work Gery!
Thank you to everyone who tried the Cardy Cuisine options yesterday! We had a lot of fun making the sandwiches and sauces. We hope that you enjoyed getting to sample everything. Voting is still open in our story if you haven’t voted! The winning sandwich and sauce will be announced early next week. Thanks Cardinals!
As the current semester comes to a close, we wanted to celebrate our amazing team here at Otterbein Dining, and all of their hard work and dedication throughout the school year. We went bowling during Spring Break and had a party with fun games and prizes. Thanks again, team! We appreciate everything you all do here each and every day! #parkhurstdining #teammemberappreciation
This week’s employee spotlight is on Chris Gall, the newest barista at The Bean. He’s been with us for just two months, but he’s working hard to make our students happy! If you’ve visited The Bean recently, you’ve probably had a chance to talk with Chris, since he likes to get to know each of the guests coming through. When Chris isn’t making delicious drinks, he’s either doing some graphic design or making some furniture. He says he recently found a huge stone that he’s trying to turn into a table! His favorite drink is the Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso, so come by and try one from Chris today!
#otterbein #otterbean
For the last day of our Black History Month celebration, we’re shifting the spotlight from our kitchen staff to our wonderful Front of House staff: Lakiesha Jackson (Retail Manager), Oluwabukolami Igbekoyi (Cashier), Neia Dennis Jones (Cook), and Liliana Candelario (Server). These people play an important part in helping everything run smoothly and keeping the students happy. We have a special menu today to celebrate their hard work – Buffalo Chicken Tenders, Mac & Cheese, and Sautéed Cabbage. We hope to see you for lunch today! #BlackHistoryMonth
Continuing our Black History Month celebration, today we’re highlighting Jacquoi Light. Jacquoi has prepared a delicious menu, because she said “it’s what I felt like eating today.” Her menu looked amazing, so we were happy to make it happen. We’ll be serving BBQ Ribs, Baked Beans, Collard Greens, and Potato Salad. Join us for lunch to try these great dishes, if it’s what you feel like eating today as well! #BlackHistoryMonth
For our Black History Month celebration, today we’re highlighting another Sous Chef, Teekeh Cooper. Teekeh has been with Otterbein Dining for over five years, and he helped to make a delicious menu today – Mississippi Pork Pot Roast, Cheese Potatoes, and Mixed Vegetables. He’s proud of his Liberian heritage, and you can usually find him on the basketball court when he’s not hard at work in the kitchen. Join us for lunch today to try some of these delicious dishes! #BlackHistoryMonth
Our Black History Month celebration continues! Today we’re highlighting Sous Chef Peggy Jones. Or as she’s affectionately called by the students, Mrs. Peggy. Peggy has been with Otterbein Dining for close to five years. She loves interacting with the students and making recipes that are family favorites. She’s doing that today with a menu featuring country fried chicken, candied yams and creole green beans! As the campus community knows, if Mrs. Peggy made it, then you know it’s going to be good! #BlackHistoryMonth
For Black History Month here at Otterbein Dining, we're celebrating by highlighting menus that were created by some of our favorite team members! Today, we're focusing on Aletha Harper, who will be making some of her family's recipes - Backyard BBQ Wings, Louisiana Dirty Rice, and Succotash. Yum! Hope you'll join us to try some of these delicious dishes!
Updates for the New Nest! We’re reading your feedback and we’re going to make the majority of these happen for you! Thanks for all of the compliments and kind words about the food since the opening of the new space. Our team is immensely appreciative. Keep the feedback and the suggestions coming using our virtual comment cards! Thanks!
One of the best things that we can do at Otterbein Dining is provide for the community. When third year Otterbein student Bryan Flannery asked if we would be willing to help feed unhoused folks in Columbus, saying yes was a no brainer. These incredibly thoughtful @otterbeinu students powered through the rain on a Saturday morning to help out those who are less fortunate. We were honored to partner with them by joining and supporting this noble cause.
Happy Valentine’s Day Cardinals! Ok, ok, we’re celebrating a day early. You caught us. But Thursday dinners draw a bigger crowd, and we wanted more students to be able to enjoy their steak dinners! Complete with shrimp cocktail, wedge salads and premium steakhouse sides! We hope that you LOVED the special occasion options tonight. And if you haven’t eaten yet, there’s still time to #TreatYoSelf to a gourmet meal! #HappyValentinesDay
Happy Wednesday Cardinals! We’re partnering with the Otterbein student group Plan-It-Earth for Otterbein Goes Green! In an effort to increase sustainability on campus, we’ve added some incentives at the Bean and The Point for students who use their reusable mugs. In addition to receiving a 15-cent discount on your favorite specialty drinks, you can also receive a free specialty drink after seven purchases! That’s 30% faster than the standard ten purchases. New reward cards are available at both locations, and mugs are available at The Bean. Help us do what we can to look out for the Planet and Go Green!
Round Two in the New Nest! I think we’re getting the hang of this. Our grand opening is breakfast this Monday. Did you miss made-to-order omelets? Wanna try out the new waffle irons? Stop in on Monday!
Doing a test run in the New Nest! It’s so exciting you guys! This was our first time cooking in the space. Fortunately, we had some hungry and eager guests helping us sample the new stations. We wanted to get some reps in before we go live on Monday! We CAN’T WAIT for everyone to stop by and check it out!
We have menu boards! Keep an eye on these pages for more reveals and how-to-videos!
What’s not to like about National Cheese Lover’s Day? Well, technically it was yesterday. But less people were on campus to enjoy the cheesy goodness, so we decided to do it today! Whether you tried the nachos, cheesy garlic pizza, mac and cheese, broccoli cheese soup, cheesy chicken alfredo or the Philly cheesesteak, we hope that you enjoyed your Cheese Lover’s selection! 🧀
As promised, the Waffle Blooper Reel! It’s not always easy to produce these videos lol. We probably would have been declined for the Otterbein Theater Major. But hey, practice makes perfect right? We’ll work on getting better at this after Waffle Wednesday. Stop by tomorrow for National Cheese Lover’s Day in the Den as well! 🧀
You’ve been asking for them for four years. We were finally able to bring them back. That’s right, WAFFLES ARE RETURNING TO OTTERBEIN! 🧇 Stop by the Den for lunch this Wednesday to get a sneak peak during #WaffleWednesday. Also, this video took 11 takes to get it right, so there will be a blooper video coming later. 😂 @goldenwaffles.co
Congratulations to the winners of the $50 Amazon Gift Cards! Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out the survey. We genuinely do appreciate the feedback and certainly benefit from it. Exciting changes in store everyone! We’ll see you all soon! 🙂
Kwanzaa Dinner Celebration tonight! Thank you to @otterbeinsjanda, @sistersunited_otterbein and @mov_otterbein for partnering with us for this very special dinner this evening. We hope that everyone enjoyed the Kwanzaa inspired food! Good luck on your finals everyone!
Derek is taking over the Spoon and Fork station today! If you haven’t already, stop by and try his Taste of Cleveland dishes!
Peruvian food is taking over the Inclusive Station tonight! The main course is Lomo Saltado, a Peruvian stir fry dish with marinated sirloin, onions, tomatoes and french fries! On the side you’ll find Papas a la Huancaina, which are potatoes in a creamy and slightly spicy garlic cheese sauce, as well as seasoned rice! Stop by the Den to try these delicious dishes!
Thank you to everyone who participated in our “Guess the Pumpkin Weight” and “Guess the Amount of Candy” contests! Congratulations to @jake_duvall_44 and @myaa.white for submitting the winning guesses! We’ll be reaching out to you both to figure out which prize you would prefer. We hope that everyone had a great Halloween! 🎃
Have we mentioned that we LOVE Halloween? There were so many amazing costumes today! Both from our staff, and from the Otterbein community in general. Only picking 10 photos was basically impossible, but we did our best. Thank you to everyone who dressed up and participated in the Halloween festivities! We’ll announce the winners of the Pumpkin Weight contest and Guess the Candy Amount contest tomorrow. 🎃
We had a great time celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month with @otterbein_hola at lunch today! Gery appreciated the students who had questions and offered feedback about the freshly made guacamole and pico! Working with these student groups and highlighting their efforts is one of the best things that we do. Thanks for partnering with us HOLA!
Today for lunch, we’re partnering with @otterbein_hola to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month! Gery and I listened to their menu suggestions and we have an awesome lunch planned for everyone based on their suggestions. Hope to see you today at lunch!
We’re having a great time at the #Oktoberfest lunch in the Campus Center! We have chicken schnitzel, soft pretzels with cheese, spaetzale, potato salad, bratwurst with sauerkraut and more! There’s still time to stop by and have a German feast! And hopefully those of you who have eaten already enjoyed it! 🇩🇪
Did you know that The Den has vegan pizza? It’s true! In addition to a host of customizable, gluten free options, we can also happily make a vegan pizza for you! Simply let the cashier know that you would like to order a vegan pizza and the Den team will make it happen. There’s a slightly longer wait time due to the customization for each one, but we think it’s worth it. 🍕
Talk Like A Pirate Day and the Syrup Olympics were a lot of fun! A great day of activities just before Homecoming weekend. Speaking of Homecoming weekend, you know what that means! It’s time for the smoker to make its triumphant return. Mrs. Peggy is getting those pork butts ready as we speak. Our mouths are watering already. Can’t wait until tomorrow!
Gery had a great time teaching guests at the Point how to make guacamole and pico de gallo yesterday! Hopefully everyone who stopped by enjoyed the free pico and guac. We’re planing to do more of these throughout the semester, including a sushi rolling demonstration! Keep an eye on the socials for more info!
The first Den menu that we printed was missing something… The Gluten Friendly options! We printed a new one today, but I wanted to highlight what some of those choices are. Hopefully this helps anyone who had questions or concerns about it!
Pumpkin Spice is back at the Bean! Perhaps, like @h.brooke20, you prefer the tried-and-true Pumpkin Spice Latte! Or maybe you agree with @genevieve.legawiec and think that a little Pumpkin Spice in your Chai is the way to go. Regardless of how you like to enjoy your Pumpkin Spice, the Bean can accommodate you! Nothing basic about that. 🎃
Labor Day dinner in the Campus Center! Grilled pork chops with chimichurri, roasted corn, garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. Yum! Hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend!
We understand that there is some confusion about the hours of operation at our locations. Particularly, the new Nest/Den combo. In addition, perhaps there's also some confusion about what's being offered during those times. We're sorry about that! Here are the hours for our locations, and what to expect at the Nest/Den during those meal periods. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. Thanks Cardinals!
One of our favorite #FirstFlight events is Picnic at the Rock! We love doing an outdoor cookout for students who are just arriving on the @otterbeinu campus. We hope that you enjoyed the food just as much as we enjoyed serving you! (Bonus picture at the end with Ann receiving a welcome back hug from a student!)
Calm before the storm? Tomorrow, the first year students arrive on campus! Tonight, we dine on delicious grilled pork chops with roasted potatoes and broccoli. #WeAreSoBack #FirstFlightIsHere #NestPlusDenEqualsDest?
We miss all of you on campus. We’re also going to miss this staircase! The construction work is well underway. Big changes in store for the Nest. Can’t wait to watch the re-model progress continue to unfold. We also can’t wait to feed our first group of returning students today!
On Saturday, we joined the seniors and @otterbeinpres, among others, in raising a glass and sharing a toast with the class of 2024! We’re going to miss so many of the students who graduated, but we’re excited that they’ll be pursuing their dreams and fulfilling their potential. Thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your college journey and congratulations! 🎓
Congratulations to Mrs. Peggy for winning the 2024 Knives Out cooking competition! Mac and Cheese and Chicken Tenders, what’s not to like? And congratulations to @olivia.garee.09 for winning the $50 retail gift basket! (Ok, it’s actually worth $60. Don’t tell our boss 😅) Thank you to everyone who participated and voted for your favorites! It was a lot of fun for our team, I hope it was for you too! #KnivesOut #TheSecretIngredientIsLove
Midnight Breakfast! Kind of bittersweet, as the Spring semester edition of this storied tradition means we’re one weekend away from graduation. It’s about to get awfully quiet on campus. We’re not ready. So before then, let’s have some late night eats Hawaii style! And thanks again to @chriscakesohio for the assist! 🥞
Knives Out competition instructions! You HAVE to come to the Nest for dinner tonight and try these Mac and Cheeses! Which one are you most excited for?
The gauntlet has been thrown! The Knives Out Final Battle food item has been chosen! Our four chefs will have to make their very best interpretation of Mac N’ Cheese! Who will rise to the occasion? Whose Mac N’ Cheese will reign supreme? Find out for dinner in the Nest on Thursday, April 18th! #KnivesOut
Fun day on campus today! We did a commuter focus group in the commuter lounge to get some feedback about the dining program, and what commuters would like to see in the renovated dining space. We supplied the free chicken tenders, lemonade and carabiners! We also had a beach/boardwalk theme in the Nest today, complete with corn dogs, funnel cake fries and lemonade. Thanks for joining in on the fun Cardinals!
Winston Churchill once said, “we make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” And the @rmhcofcentraloh gives so much to families who need to be closer to their loved ones at @nationwidekids. That’s what made partnering with them, cooking breakfast and lunch for the families and serving them, an absolute no brainer! We care about our community, both on a company level and on a local level, and it’s our honor and privilege to help provide a service for those who would stand to benefit from it the most. Thanks for having us Ronald McDonald House!
We were excited to participate in another Experience Day today! It’s fun getting to speak with incoming students and their parents about what the dining services are like on campus. So many departments work together to make it happen and we’re grateful to be included amongst them! #ClassOf2028
The renovation event in the Nest today was so much fun! We hope you were able to join us, sample some delicious food and check out the artist renderings for what’s to come in the Nest! Those foods were simply a sneak peak at the possibilities that will be available once the new station equipment is installed. We hope that you enjoyed everything! (If you tried the PB&J smoothie, we already know that you did 😏)
Want to try some of the foods that we’ll be capable of making with the new equipment next year? Stop by the Nest for lunch tomorrow! We’ll have three different tasting stations where you can try the foods and give us feedback! There will also be a sneak peak of some of the furniture options as well. You’re welcome to join us with or without a meal plan. Hope we see you tomorrow!
What Are Saturdays For Part 2: Sometimes they’re for employee appreciation! We wouldn’t be able to do any of the things that we do without our tremendously talented staff. And we never want to take that for granted. It’s imperative that they know how thankful we are for them! What better way to do that than with snacks, games, prizes, an ice cream sundae bar and a cash cube? Thank you guys for all that you do!
What Are Saturdays For Part 1: Sometimes, they’re for high end catering events! For example, the 2024 WesterBall! A community arts gala and fundraiser that’s hosted by the Westerville Arts Council. We’re always honored to be involved in this incredible event. The 2024 fundraiser was no exception.
Theme Week ended with a fun one! Gamer Thursday was a great way to wrap up the week. Displacer Beast Burgers with Super Mario Mushrooms, video game theme songs and a collab with @otterbeinesports for the Super Smash Bros. Tourney! (Or hang out might be more accurate haha.) As always, we had a blast doing the different themes this week. We hope that you enjoyed them too! Have fun on Spring Break! #ThemeWeek #GottaGoFast
For Tuesday‘s Theme, we celebrated the biggest star in the music industry, if not the biggest celebrity in the world today, Taylor Swift! We made friendship bracelets, listened to lots and lots of her music and became Swifties! Even if only for today for some of us haha. Tomorrow, it will be time to call “ACTION!” #ThemeWeek #SwiftieForADay #FeelingOlderThan22
Theme Week begins with Animation Monday! We have the cartoon theme songs playing and some fun cartoon inspired foods ready to be devoured, Mystery Inc. style! Grab a Krabby Patty and draw your favorite cartoon character while listening to the Darkwing Duck theme song! Sounds like a great Monday to us. Tomorrow, let us know which era you’re in. #ThemeWeek #90sCartoonThemesAreTheBest #PawPatrolIsReadyToRoll
We’re lucky to have Parkhurst Dietitian Alicia Koloski (@parkhurstwoyw) on campus today! To celebrate Heart Health Month, Alicia is sampling three different types of hummus! Hummus is a great source for heart healthy fats. Plus, chickpeas have been shown to protect against heart disease. Say hi to Alicia, try some hummus, and play trivia for a chance to spin the prize wheel! She’s available to answer questions about food as well!
