Chik-fil-a breakfast, highly requested in surveys, to be served starting Aug. 17
Chicken lovers of USC, rejoice. Chick-fil-a breakfast is coming to Russell House.
After reading responses to dining surveys, Carolina Dining has added the morning meal option to Gamecock Park on the second floor of Russell House. The surveys indicated a 90 percent satisfaction rating from student diners.
Another fast-food staple, Burger King, has been removed and will be replaced by Fresh Burger, a burger station run by USC’s food service provider Sodexo.
Another Sodexo product, Wholly Habaneros, will open on the first floor of Russell House as a “fresh cantina-style, Mexican concept” where students can build their own burritos, giving Moe’s Monday a meal plan competitor.
In McBryde, an all-male residence hall near the Thomas Cooper Library, a “fresh produce convenience store,” grill and salad bar will also open. The new dining option, Market 101, will also have outdoor seating.
The new establishments are not open now, but will be once students move back to campus on Aug. 17, a USC release said.
The addition of Fresh Burger and Wholly Habaneros mark a move towards more healthy options for on-campus dining through a partnership between Sodexo and Healthy Carolina. The dining locations’ meals will be available for calorie-counting on MyFitnessPal, a smart phone app designed to tally up nutritional information. A new logo has also been introduced to easily identify meals under 600 calories.
