"The university operates three main residential restaurants, with all-you-can-eat options. Epicuria at Covel serves simple, fresh Mediterranean fare, while De Neve dishes out regional favorites like Chicago deep-dish pizza, arepas, and Texas barbecue brisket. Bruin Plate, often called "B Plate" by students, is UCLA's health-forward dining hall that focuses on sustainable, whole-food cooking. It features dishes like chickpea and oat waffles for breakfast and stone-fired flatbreads for dinner. Together, these residential restaurants create a rotation of dining options that's more like a curated food hall."
"The best part is that fans of UCLA dining don't need to live on campus to get a taste - they can bring it into their own kitchens with the official "UCLA's Bruin Plate Cookbook." It features over 100 recipes - served across all of the dining halls - and prepared just the way the students love. The recipes showcase ingredients that highlight freshness, nutrient density, and sustainability, too, like crave-worthy guacamole with kale."
