Colorado State University’s Aspen Grille continues to offer take-out meals and reduced capacity, in-house dining for the Spring 2021 semester.
The restaurant serves as a teaching classroom for students in the Hospitality Management Program in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition. This semester’s menu will include new and diverse dishes and will have a special menu in February to honor of Black History Month.
“The menu is small to limit food waste, but has a little bit of everything for everyone,” said Ken Symsack, an instructor in the Hospitality Management Program. “With most of our regular clientele working remotely, we tried to attract new customers with a more diverse menu. There is a Mexican take on a French dip on the menu, inspired by the Red Birria tacos that are taking over Los Angeles. Our consummate star, the salmon poke, and even a PB and J with bacon and banana – a nod to Elvis Presley’s favorite sandwich. Everything on the menu is designed to be held in to-go containers with little loss of quality.”
