Finishing the semester the best way we know how! 🎢☀️🍦
Nothing better than spending a day at Knoebels celebrating our teams from Elmira, Juniata, and Lycoming after another busy semester. So grateful for all of the hard work, long days, and everything our team members do throughout the year – this day is always one of our favorites! 💙
Hello from Washington DC! Our team is busy sharing innovative ideas, exploring emerging topics in student affairs, and forging connections at the NASPA Region II Conference. Be sure to pop by to hear more about how Parkhurst can help you turn meals into memorable moments!
At @loyoladining, every plate tells a story rooted right here in Baltimore. Through our Know Your Source partnerships with local favorites like @blacksaucekitchen, @neopolsmokery, @eatmorechaunceys, and more, we’re bringing authentic, chef-crafted flavors straight to our guests. Great dining isn’t just about what’s on the menu, it’s about who’s behind it!
We are coming to you live from the @theculinaryinstituteofamerica for another exciting Career Fair!

A look back at all the smoky, saucy, can’t-miss moments from our sites during National BBQ Month. 🍖
From slow-smoked favorites, to bold, house-made sauces, our teams brought the flavor all month long.
Today’s agenda: 🍔🍔🍔 Because some days just call for a really great burger! However you stack it – classic, loaded, plant-based, or totally your own – today`s the day to go all in.
Happy National Hamburger Day!
Great chefs don’t just cook, they teach, mentor, and share their passion for food.
Our Kitchen Coaching program gives guests the chance to step into the kitchen with our chefs, learning practical culinary skills, exploring new flavors, and bringing home dishes they’ve created themselves.
Programs like this reflect a culture rooted in values, where hospitality means building real relationships with the people we serve. For our partners, that commitment creates dining experiences that feel personal, engaging, and truly memorable.
That feeling when @barddining has Moroccan chicken on the menu > 😍
Recently, at Hamilton College, our Sustainability Vendor Fair brought together local partners like FarmSource, Forged Partners, and more to showcase what’s possible when community and purpose come together. From meaningful conversations to thoughtful sourcing, the event highlighted the real impact behind choosing sustainable options.
It was more than a moment; it’s a reflection of how we build connections, support local, and bring our values to life on campus. And it’s just one example of the kind of community-driven, purpose-led programming we’re proud to keep growing.
We’re looking back at last year’s Parkhurst Family Meal, and getting ready to do it all again!
It’s an unforgettable evening of chef-crafted small bites, meaningful connections, and a shared purpose: supporting our Caring for Kids campaign benefitting @childrenspgh and other hospitals within the communities we serve.
This year, we’re bringing that same energy (and even more flavor) to @duquesneuniversity – and you’re invited to be a part of it!
Join us as our chefs come together to create, connect, and give back in a way that truly makes an impact.
