May 2008
This summer, guests dining at Le Jeune Chef Restaurant – operated by the School of Hospitality at Penn College – will have the opportunity to enjoy a new menu concept for dinner service Wednesday through Saturday nights. An à la carte format was put in place May 28 that will allow guests more flexibility for their dining pleasure. Le Jeune Chef has for the last several years offered a “prixe fixe” dinner menu that included an appetizer, soup, salad, fish course and intermezzo, choice of four entrées, a cheese course, and choice of desserts. The new menu features varied appetizers, soups, salads and entrée selections that can be served alone or in many combinations to accommodate those who want a more traditional meal and those who prefer a shorter experience.
