Lunches will be available from noon to 1 p.m. on Wednesdays, March 1, 8, 22, 29, April 5, 12, and 26, on the College’s Rome Campus, 1101 Floyd Ave. The cost is $15 per person.
The “modified cafeteria”-style lunches will consist of 12 to 14 small plate options, and guests will be able to walk through the kitchen and choose as many items as they’d like with no limit on the number of dishes taken. Options will include:
- Red Wine Braised Short Rib with Fried Polenta
