Hey!
This week I was had the opportunity to spend half of my week learning how
Couch Restaurants is run. Couch Restaurants is a very impressive operation
and an integral part of the student meal plan here on campus. Couch
Restaurants is home to 14 different restaurants all offering all you can eat meals.
As this is an important part of the student meal plan, I was most excited to learn
about the ways in which food allergies and other dietary restrictions were handled
within such a large operation. Within the main dining area there is a top 8 allergen
and gluten free buffet section and dessert cart. In addition to safe options at most
restaurants. For an in depth look at foods that may meet your dietary needs you
can check out http://www.ou.edu/housingandfood/dining/fitter-foods.

One of my favorite gluten free meals of the week from Couch Restaurants was a ham sandwich from Dot’s Deli.
In addition to learning about the food preparation, I spent time in the stockroom
learning about ordering, receiving, and inventory. I also spent some time in the
kitchen cooking and improving my knife skills. I really enjoyed getting to talk to
many different members of the staff and learn about their different jobs.

Additionally, we participated in SWEEP on the Walker Adams Mall. This was a
great opportunity to inform students about the resources available for students
with food allergies, intolerances, and other special dietary needs. In addition,
we were also able to educate students about the freight farm on campus and
provide students with arugula that had been harvested from the freight farm.
It was fun being out and talking with the students for the afternoon.

Finally, this week I had some time to work on my business plan. I was able to
test my recipe in the kitchen at Couch Restaurants and put together some of
the handouts for the event. My business plan is really helping me learn how
much goes into all the fun events you see walking around campus.

This week went by incredibly fast. I feel like I have already learned so much.
