It's the beginning of 4th-period lunch and many hungry students wait to be given permission to get food. Before the students, however, the faculty is allowed to fill their plates. The food served to them is a product of what we all know as SAGE Dining Services. The faculty of Jesuit has been eating from SAGE for a whole...
Are you ever hungry but too lazy to actually cook anything tasty? Well now, do I have some delicious food choices for you.

Embarking on a journey to capture student's thoughts and opinions on Whataburger, I interviewed students Henry Taylor, Harber Lampl, Grant Reed, William Wayne, and Jack Stevens to get their opinions. What is your go-to menu item? Henry: "The patty melt because it just tastes the best. The bread is good, It's just the best thing on the menu." Harber: "My go-to menu...
“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well if one has not dined well.” (Virginia Woolf) Ever since the school year began in late August, SAGE Dining Services has been making breakfast and lunch every day for Jesuit students and faculty. I was able to sit down and talk to the Executive Chef, Ryan Messina, and the SAGE Food Service...
