SEE WHAT WE ARE UP TO & Follow Our Socials
For thirty years, we’ve been guided by a simple belief: when you lead with purpose, partnership, and people, growth follows—and it lasts. As we kick off this milestone, we reflect on a legacy of people-first hospitality that has defined us from the very beginning.
Our story has never been just about food. It’s about the trust we build, the commitments we keep, and how we consistently show up for our guests, clients, and team members. We’re especially proud that our first two client partners remain with us today — a testament to shared purpose and relationships built to last.
Over three decades, we’ve evolved, innovated and expanded, but how we`ve grown matters just as much as the growth itself. Since 1996, we’ve remained rooted in our values: delivering culinary excellence, building personal relationships, serving with a smile, and honoring every promise we make.
Thirty years doesn’t happen by chance, it’s built with intention, the drive to grow, and a commitment to doing things the right way. As we look ahead, we remain committed to leading with purpose, investing in what matters, and continuing to build something meaningful that lasts. Thank you to everyone who has been part of our story!
As Pride Month comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the importance of creating welcoming communities where everyone feels seen, supported, and celebrated – not just this month, but year-round.
Thank you to the students, guests, and team members who continue making our campuses vibrant, inclusive places to gather and connect.

Every new dish is an opportunity to learn.
We love seeing our chefs experiment in the kitchen: refining techniques, trying new flavor combinations, and developing their craft. At Parkhurst Dining, our teams are driven to grow and build skills that strengthen kitchens, mentor emerging talent, and elevate dining experiences for every guest.
We had an incredible time last week at our annual Parkhurst Family Meal in honor of our Caring for Kids campaign! It was a great night filled with connection, delicious bites, and impactful work raising money for local children’s hospitals in the communities we serve. A massive thank you to our chefs who participated, our volunteers and sponsors, and everyone who attended! We can’t wait to do it all again together next year.
On National Indigenous Peoples Day, we recognize and celebrate Indigenous peoples, cultures, and traditions.
