What makes St. Olaf College’s food some of the best in the nation?

Matthew Fogarty, the executive chef for St. Olaf food service provider Bon Appétit, visited WCCO-TV to show viewers the answer to that question.

He demonstrated how he makes St. Olaf Southwest Smokehouse Huevos Rancheros with Fisher Farms boar chorizo, crispy pumpkin fry bread, double take salsa verde, and queso fesca.

St. Olaf is No. 4 on the Princeton Review’s “Best Campus Food” ranking this year, and regularly tops national lists of best college cuisine. St. Olaf’s Stav Hall, the main dining facility on campus, serves more than 70 freshly prepared, locally sourced entrees each week.
