Local Eateries And Balanced Nutrition ON CAMPUS!

Tony Caputo’s, Stone Ground Breads, Nathan’s 100% Beef hotdogs and more ON CAMPUS!

Tony Caputo's is located on the first floor of the Carolyn Tanner Irish Humanities Bldg

Made to order breakfast burritos, sandwiches and lunch sandwiches, all off the original Caputo’s menu, are offered in the 1^st floor of the Tanner Irish Humanities Building. The Starley Commons café in the WEB bldg offers daily-prepared on-the-go foods including sandwiches, wraps, soups, bagels, donuts and more using locally outsourced products.

Tony Caputo’s is a Market and Deli originating in Salt Lake and is a leading purveyor of distinctive Regional Italian and Southern European foods. There you can order “The Caputo” on a hard Italian roll filled with prosciutto, salami, provolone, lettuce and tomatoes. “The Caputo sandwich is a student favorite”, said Andy, and employee of the café. Vegetarian options are also available, like a caprese salad with fresh mozzarella cheese, garden tomatoes, sweet basil, and extra virgin olive oil, yumm! Other items include pasta, a daily special, desserts, coffee, and Italian chocolates. 

The café located in the Starley Food Commons offers fresh wraps, salads, and sandwiches prepared with local breads from Stoneground Bakery, a premier Utah bakery. The sandwiches and wraps are pretty hearty, filled with lots of meat and veggies, just the right balance for a nutritious meal. The bread’s grains are locally milled in Utah, with grains from Utah, Idaho, and Montana. Daily soups are also offered, like Buffalo Chili, made with real buffalo. There are two featured daily soups, provided by The Pointe, a former contracted food service provider for the U, until spring of 2012. “I get soups from The Pointe because the students love it”, said Ken Marlow, who independently manages the café since The Pointes departure and has been doing so for the past 5 ½ years.

The Starley Food commons offers Nathan’s famous ¼ lb 100% beef hot dogs complete with a condiments bar with all the works and if you’re lucky, there might be pepperoncini or jalapenos to top them off. The salads are prepared every morning by Marlow himself and he even makes a “cilantro lime vinaigrette” reminiscent of Café Rio’s. Marlow tries very hard to “prepare meals that are still nutritionally balanced, but a hit with the students”.

There are also a few prepared microwave entrees, as well as a handful or microwave and Panini presses available for students to use. As you wait in line for the cashier there are also treats from Cookies by Design to fill your sweet tooth.

As students, we all know the two major food outlets on campus are located in the Union and The Heritage Commons up by the dorms.  There are also little “outtake” cafes around campus, but everyone should visit these cafes and get a little taste of our local eateries.
