Deacon Dining Hosts Culinary Summit to Elevate Campus Dining
This month, Deacon Dining proudly welcomed chefs from across the nation to Wake Forest University for an inspiring Culinary Summit, hosted in partnership with our sister Harvest Table accounts. For three days, culinary leaders, sustainability coordinators, and registered dietitians came together with one shared mission: to redefine the campus dining experience.
The Summit was more than a training—it was a collaborative effort to set a new standard for what dining should look like. Our teams explored innovative ways to elevate every aspect of the guest experience, from the flavors on the plate to the hospitality that surrounds each meal. Together, we asked the big questions: What should dining feel like? How can we create moments that matter?
This gathering marks a pivotal step forward for Harvest Table Culinary Group. The insights and ideas born here will shape how we represent our brand across campuses nationwide—bringing fresh, chef-driven menus, sustainable practices, and authentic hospitality to every table.
At Harvest Table, we believe dining is more than food—it’s community, connection, and care. This Summit reaffirmed our commitment to delivering experiences that nourish both body and soul.
