Lucky Bites: Chef Rockett’s St. Patrick’s Day specials @Forest
Tuesday, March 11 ALL DAY @Forest
Sure, Saint Patrick’s Day is technically March 17, but we'll be on spring break and Chef Rockett wants to celebrate with you (and show off his incredible cooking skills). From breakfast through dinner on March 11, follow Rockett’s pot of gold clues around Forest to find delicious, Irish-inspired treats, from corned beef & hash to Guinness cupcakes. You might even find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
If you’re there at 4 p.m. or later, consider taking a moment to stop by to share your opinions at the Happy or Not survey, which will be set up near the drink station in front of Heartland. Rate Chef Rockett’s special meal with a very happy, happy, not happy, or very unhappy and let us know what kind of food you’d like to see more of.
Soup Happens @ McNutt
Wednesday, March 26,11 a.m. to 9 p.m. @McNutt
It’s the ultimate comfort meal: house-made soups served in warm, freshly baked sourdough bread bowls. IU Dining sources our bread from Breadworks, a Greencastle, Ind.-based company, as part of our commitment to sustainability and support for local businesses. Get yourself over to McNutt March 26 for this ultimate cozy, comfort food experience. It’ll be souper (IU Dining Manager Ashley Massie made us say it. Sorry.)
