Spokes, the campus-operated burger eatery that opened in the Silo this fall, launched its breakfast service today (Jan. 16). The breakfast menu is available from 8:30 to 10:15 a.m.
“It’s part of our long-term plan for what Spokes is,” said Kraig Brady, director of Hospitality and Dining Services. “This is another chapter in our menu plan.”
Next to Spokes, Crêpe Bistro bustles around breakfast time. But beyond that, the CoHo and Scrubs Café are the main places on campus for hot breakfast. Brady said staff decided they could fill a need by offering a menu based around a ham-and-egg biscuit sandwich, chicken-and-waffle sandwich, bacon-and-cheese-topped tater tots, egg-and-chorizo breakfast bowl, and a vegan breakfast burrito.
In keeping with the bicycle-themed style of Spokes, the new items have names like the 5-Speed, Wheelie, Roadster.
Brady said now that the new eateries have been open for a while, campus chefs have been able to focus on refining them.
Dining Services Executive Chef Andrew Tescher said most of his experience has been in steakhouses and fine dining, but he’s having more fun in the fast-paced, wide-appealing Silo eateries. “It’s almost embarrassing how much fun it is,” he said.
Among the changes: A new buffalo sauce has been added to Spokes’ offerings, and pizza by the slice can now be ordered in the nearby Silo Market. The pizza, a thick, Sicilian-style, is made in two varieties (one with meat, one vegetarian) that change each day. A slice is $3.29.
