The Dining Program
Brewster's dining program strives to serve a variety of fresh, and when possible, locally grown food to the Brewster community. As an academic institution, we believe that our dining program shares in the educational responsibility of the campus. Providing good quality, healthy food in an attractive setting is a major goal. Literature throughout the dining room promotes and educates students about the types and quantities of food needed for a healthy lifestyle.

Breakfast is designed to meet the needs of the various busy academic schedules our students experience at Brewster. We offer an assortment of hot food items for two hours every morning, and each Sunday we offer an extended four-hour brunch featuring omelets to order and a great selection of breakfast and lunch items that students can enjoy in a leisurely setting.

Our Sunday brunch provides a relaxing, warm atmosphere over an extended time to accommodate a slower pace from the typical class day morning routine. White table clothes are laid out, lanterns are lit, and light jazz plays softly while students choose from a smorgasbord of homemade granola, yogurt and fruit, fresh pastry, cold and hot cereals, omelets cooked to order, and hot sides such as bacon, scrambled egges, sausage, and homemade hash browns.

Lunches are a real event at Brewster. Stations with food cooked to order and a tremendous salad bar featuring our own recipes using fresh, healthy ingredients to create an ever-changing assortment of ready-made salads along with all the ingredients to create individual salads are very popular. We offer a choice of homemade soups each day, a selection of sandwiches made to order, and a stir-fry station. There's always a vegetarian option at each meal along with our daily menu of fish, chicken, and beef items prepared in a family style atmosphere. Sandwiches, homemade desserts, and of course, our popular pizza on Wednesdays and Fridays, round out the lunch fare.

You'll always hear an assortment of music throughout the lunch period. We think it's important that our dining facility is a place to relax, eat good food, and have some fun in an otherwise full and busy day at Brewster. Our students love the music and often make requests, which we gladly accommodate.

Sunday brunch promises delicious fare served in a relaxed atmosphere with white linens, lanterns, and a hint of jazz.

Our dinner meal is served in a more relaxed atmosphere. For many students, it marks the end of the first part of a very busy day and is an opportunity to relax and socialize some before nighttime commitments begin. A good, home-cooked meal, with a vegetarian option, homemade desserts, and our Home Cooking Station brings a variety to our menu along with a full salad and deli bar.

Brewster's dining program is committed to great service and quality food in a relaxing environment. Our staff is committed to providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere for everyone. It's not uncommon for our staff to know many of our students personally and to ask questions about their day, their families, and their sporting events. Overall we nurture as well as nourish our students. That's our goal.

Brewster Students Get Their Whole Grains!

September 6, 2007 -- Kudos to Jim Carey and Brewster's Dining Services program for being selected as a runner-up in the Whole Grains Challenge, a nationwide awards program for restaurants and foodservice operators serving at least one whole grain choice at all times during the months of May, June, or July 2007. Under the direction of Flik International, Dining Services Director Jim Carey heads Brewster's award-winning dining program. Mr. Carey is also a Brewster dorm parent so the boys of Bearce might just get a serving or two of whole grains in the dorm!
