“Tell me what you eat, and I’ll tell you who you are,” wrote renowned gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin in 1825. Food is a form of communication that is rich with meaning.

Beyond merely nourishing the body, what we eat and with whom we eat can inspire and strengthen the bonds between individuals, communities, and even countries. Sierra Nevada College along with their partners Sodexo, are offering culturally diverse dining experiences, along with some light-hearted holiday meals, beginning Feb. 2 through May.

· Feb. 2 – Chinese New Year dinner; experience the Year of the Rabbit’s authentic customs and traditions.

· Feb. 14 – Valentine’s Day dinner; treat yourself and a loved one to mouth-watering “Surf & Turf.”

· March 2 – Dr. Seuss dinner; join Sam-I-Am for a yummy dinner jam.

· March 8 – Mardi Gras lunch; enjoy a carnival of Cajun cuisine and flavors.

· March 10 – St. Patrick’s Day lunch; get a lucky Irish lunch.

· April 1 – April Fools’ Day lunch; no shenanigans or tomfoolery guaranteed.

· April 6 – French Cuisine dinner; honoring the Tournées Festival of Contemporary French Cinema.

· April 23 – SNC’s Multicultural Festival; featuring diverse ethnic food, musical entertainment and more.

· May 5 – Cinco de Mayo lunch; come celebrate Mexican heritage and pride.

Each feast is all you can eat and open to the public; community members pay $12.50 for lunch (11:30am-1:30pm) and $14 for dinner (4:30-7:00pm). Cash, credit or checks are accepted and SNC meal cards with standard pricing for students, faculty and staff apply.
