MIAMI—Garde Manger: Keeper of the food. It is the room where Miami University’s Demske Culinary Support Center makes the tasty and convenient Uncle Phil’s Express items found at most of the dining and market locations on campus.
The organized chaos begins in the chilled Garde Manger room at 4 a.m. with the preparation of 200 yogurt parfaits to be delivered in time for the breakfast rush on campus, Adam Hamilton, chef for culinary programming, said.
For the next six hours, the team at the Demske Culinary Support Center works to assemble, package and label the 16 different items in the Uncle Phil’s Express line.
