Chef Henry Lee Hits Fordham!

 Global Chef Henry Lee, a Sodexo chef from Hong Kong, visited Fordham's Rose Hill campus November 25th-27th.

During his time at Fordham he prepared multiple meals for students dining in Fordham Rose Hill's cafeteria "The Marketplace," opening his visit with a tasting of his favorite dishes, and ending with a traditional Chinese breakfast— plus a lunch and dinner in between!

Chef Lee also held his own cooking class, where students learned how to prepare the traditional Asian dish beef with broccoli.

Students enjoyed a taste of Asian culture and some of the Chef's best kept secrets in this informational and free class hosted by the Student Culinary Council (SCC).

The Student Culinary Council is excited to announce that they will be inviting another Sodexo Global Chef to come to Fordham in the spring.

And what country's up next? ...Italy!

Little Carts of Culture

New York has always been considered a mixing pot of many cultures, that's why I am always encouraged-- and encouraging others --to go out and actively experience everything that the city has to offer. Luckily, sometimes we don't have to go too far:

That's right, just a mere twenty meters away from the doors of Fordham's Lincoln Center campus, a food cart, "Wafles & Dinges" feeds Fordham's hungry.

I'm not Dutch or Belgian myself, but I do have a close connection to their culture and have tasted my fair share of authentic waffles. And these are pretty close to the real thing! They are inexpensive (1-7$), unique from the usual hot dog cart, and offer special discounts or freebies with an ID on certain days (Tuesdays, for sure). Whether you're looking to have a taste of something familiar like I was, or looking to try something totally different, this will definitely satisfy!
