The New Dining Center is Open!



C3, UB's new culinary center, is now open!  Come experience this one-of-a-kind dining opportunity.  I am excited about C3, as I know from talking to students that many are seeking healthy food options here on campus.  While you can still partake of many of your favorites such as burgers and pizza at C3, be sure to check out some of the more unique offerings such as the Churrascaria, Wokery, pasta bar and Vegetarian stations.  Salad bar, antipasto, and pho noodles also provide interesting, healthy choices.  Fresh ingredients are prepared right at each station so you can see what’s going into your meal, and know that it has been made on-the-spot.  There is nothing else like this at UB, so be sure to check it out!

All-you-can eat dining experiences are a great way to try new foods and eat as much or as little as you’d like.  But sometimes it’s hard to know how much may be too much.  If you’re not sure what a portion size is supposed to be, keep these visual cues in mind:
                                                                                                     



Is about the size of…


One cup green salad, a medium piece of fruit, or a baked potato

…a baseball



A serving of meat (approx. 3 oz)                                                     


… a deck of cards


½ cup fruit or vegetables, pasta, or rice


…a fist


2 Tablespoons peanut butter 


…a ping pong ball
