OXFORD, Miss. The aroma of pecan-encrusted catfish and
\npesto pizza filled the air of the University of
\nMississippi’s Lenoir Hall this past week as the student-run
\nrestaurant opened for its first week of service.<\/span>
\n

The restaurant-type operation is a required laboratory
\ncourse for UM students majoring in dietetics and in
\nnutrition and hospitality management. Lenoir Hall Dining
\nwas created to give students experience in all facets of
\nrestaurant operations. Beginning last year, the program was
\nchanged to focus more on restaurant management than on food
\npreparation.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\nThe entire program operates under a Point-of-Sale system
\nthat enables students to track sales, analyze data and
\nlearn how to operate the POS equipment. Recently hired head
\nchef for the program is Jason Lafferty, a graduate of
\nJohnson & Wales University, College of Culinary Arts.
\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n“Although our program has always excelled in offering
\nstudents a variety of food service exposures, our goal is
\nto provide students in dietetics and hospitality management
\nwith more advanced culinary arts exposures,” said Teresa
\nCarithers, FCS department chair. “We are experiencing a
\nrise in graduates who wish to further their education at
\nculinary institutes. To help them succeed, we will be
\nintegrating culinary arts more visibly in our labs and
\nadvancement activities. We especially excel in small,
\nintimate-type lunches that provide an ideal forum for
\nsmaller work groups, search committees, etc.”
\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\nLenoir Hall Dining offers lunch 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
\nTuesdays and Thursdays and dinner 6-7 p.m. Wednesdays.
\nReservations are recommended and can be made by calling
\n662-915-1863.
\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\nThe price of all meals is $7.50, which includes fresh
\nrolls, salad, entree, dessert and beverage. In addition,
\nthe food selections are more in keeping with those of an a
\nla carte restaurant, as opposed to the comfort food items
\noffered in the past. Menus change each week.
\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\nThe department boasts an enrollment of nearly 400 students,
\n261 of which are hospitality management majors and 81
\ndietetics\/nutrition majors. Graduates of the program go
\ninto a diverse range of careers, including resort
\nmanagement, hotel management, restaurant ownership and
\nevent planners, and administration of health care food
\nservice departments. The dining program allows students to
\nrotate through various positions within the operation,
\nincluding serving, cooking and management functions. Their
\nfuture skill set will include culinary arts as well.
