Buckwald’s Sunday Morning Dining Experience is Moving

Sun, March 3, 2019 Published by

One of our greatest responsibilities as staff serving you is to be the best stewards possible of our resources.  Every few months we analyze our systems and costs looking for inefficiencies and waste.  If discovered, we aim to take immediate action to quickly minimize its impact.  We have watched for some time the lower participation in our Sunday dining option at Buckwald’s Arizona Grille.  In that the low attendance simply does not justify the labor and food costs, we have made the decision to realign our Sunday experience Campus-wide.  Beginning in March, we will close Buckwald’s on Sundays, but Sundays will still be offering you great options.

Our intention is to continue a once-monthly Sunday Brunch in Elaine’s Fine Dining.  The new design will not include a buffet, but rather a delicious menu enticing you to want to bring friends and family for this special experience.  Should we see this become as popular as we believe it will be, we will expand the number of Sundays.  If the day comes that we are busting at the seams for Sunday brunch, we will absolutely revisit expanding back to Buckwald’s.  Again, our goal is to balance costs with the greatest dining experiences possible.

We will be closed effective March 10, 2019 on Sundays.

I am grateful to our Dining Services Team for their continuous commitment to providing the best dining experiences and options with the most efficient use of our resources.

New Elaine’s Fine Dining Menu Offers Residents More Variety

Sun, January 13, 2019 Published by

We are excited to announce that, on January 31st, we will be migrating to a 52-week menu in Elaine’s Fine Dining to continue our commitment to variety.

Elaine’s format will have new and exciting offerings weekly and will be part of your Roadrunner each Monday. We will have changing options in seafood, appetizer, salad, soup, chicken, pork and others while maintaining our most popular dishes on our weekly menu.

We are very excited to bring this new option to you and, hopefully, you will come to Elaine’s Fine Dining and experience a night out, away from the bustle of our other venues, in a quiet, sophisticated atmosphere providing excellent food and service and featuring a new drink menu to add to the variety.

The Bistro moved to a 52-week menu a couple of months ago and has been very successful in bringing you variety with menu changes on a weekly basis. In the past, we changed our menus twice a year  and added variety by offering multiple specials in each venue. These specials were advertised weekly in the Roadrunner and quickly became the only options you saw in our venues. Many people said to me, “Joe, why do we only have these choices available to us” when indeed, there was an entire menu to choose from on top of the advertised specials. Moving forward, we will create all of our menus on a 52 week menu platform and provide you exceptional variety of choice, not only on the menu selections but make each venue varied and make your choice of where to dine much harder for you. This is a good thing, right?

We look forward to this change as much as you do and cannot wait to hear your reactions about the variety offered in our restaurants.*
