*STUDENT SPECIAL*

You thought that we were done with student specials for this week? 😂 Surprise!! We got another great dish to offer you guys!

Introducing the “Colorful Gems” $13 Available this week only!

Pakistani curry made of bell peppers, potatoes, and onions, served with yogurt marinated grilled chicken, basmati rice, and fresh fried naan chips.

Created by student Nic McKee! 👏

Student bio: Growing up I had Pakistani neighbors who would always give me this dish when I came over to hang out with them. I wanted to share the same experience I had growing up with other people. This dish has an array of spices including jalapenos and garam masala and it combines all of the mouthwatering flavors I experienced as a kid.
This dish is what started my passion for food and the desire to make food that people would enjoy and bring a smiles to their faces.

*STUDENT SPECIAL*

You guessed it! More Student Specials! We love it! 🙌🫶

Introducing the “Moravian Rounds” $9 for both or $5 for each!

A cherished Czech-American pastry featuring a
soft, lightly sweetened dough, and filled with both sweet and savory fillings. Available as singles or as a duo of a savory sausage-apple kolache, and a sweet cranberry sage version.

Created by Student Molly Rosol 👏 Available this week only!

Student bio: I grew up eating kolaches and watching my grandmas make them, and when I
was old enough, they started to let me help mix the dough. As I grew up this was a common dish my family would eat together, and when I was in high school, and I was able to get my family’s recipe, I started making it my own.

*STUDENT SPECIAL*

Surprise! You guys get another student special this week and it’s a good one! 🫶

The LaBao Bao $9

Two pillowy bao bun tacos with soy glazed pork, crisp Asian slaw and an orange, Korean-BBQ sauce topped with micro greens and fresh cucumber slices

Created by Student Kasan Williams! Available this week only!

Student bio: This bao bun dish was born from a mix of encouragement and opportunity.
Growing up, my mom always pushed me to try new things, especially when it came to food and
stepping into unfamiliar territory. That mindset stuck with me, and it came into play during one of
our school family meals where while sampling bao, I overheard my Chef comment someone should make these as a special. I saw it as the perfect chance to take her advice to heart and challenge myself beyond the world of pastries and sweets.To make the dish truly mine, I created an orange Korean BBQ sauce inspired by my favorite
fruit, giving the tacos a sweet, tangy kick that balances the bold, savory flavors. This dish represents growth, creativity, and saying yes to the unfamiliar...all wrapped in a fluffy bao!
(Thank you, mom.)

*STUDENT SPECIAL*

Cheesesteak anyone? Well Antonio got you!! 🙌

The Libre $16

Barbacoa cheesesteak with chipotle queso, topped with charred pickled onions and nopales.

Created by Student Antonio Roman! Available this week only!

Student bio: The story of The Libre is Christmas barbacoa and gas station cheesesteaks;
a nod to my culture, my family, and memories through the years. In Spanish, the word “libre” means free- as in generosity. My philosophy with food has a similar meaning: if there are people around there is food to be made. My dad’s barbacoa is our Christmas turkey. Trips to Grandma’s were never complete without a stop at the gas station to get cheesesteaks, regardless of whether we needed
gas or not. I’ve combined these two dishes with the goal to represent me on a plate; my story, my culture, and my love of food.
