From sourcing fresh local food to designing menus for all campus dining locations, Eric Cartwright has many responsibilities as Mizzou’s executive chef. Throughout the year, he can be found sharing his passion for food with the Mizzou community through programs like the Culinary Discovery Series, which shows small groups of students how to make dishes inspired by cuisines from different parts of America and the world, and demonstrations during Staff Recognition Week.
Cartwright, working with registered dietitian Kristen Hasan and other Campus Dining Services chefs, hopes that by sharing these recipes, everyone can have a taste of Mizzou no matter where they are.
