Peirce Hacks

Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite between classes or settling in for a long meal with friends, Peirce Dining Hall is at the heart of student life at Kenyon. 

When the options feel hit or miss, we get creative — experimenting with our own culinary concoctions in unexpected ways. S. Rida Zaneb ‘25, a math student from Rawalpindi, Pakistan, shares her favorite dining hall “recipes” here. Try them in your own kitchen or save them for your next visit back to the Hill.

Breakfast: McPeirce Muffin

Toast an English muffin and add scrambled eggs from the breakfast egg station, cheese from the salad bar and sausage for a makeshift breakfast sandwich. Add some hot sauce from the condiments area, or Thai chili sauce from the pizza station for extra flavor.

Lunch: Buffalo Chicken Wrap

Take a tortilla from the deli and add grilled chicken, lettuce, ranch and hot sauce for a DIY buffalo chicken wrap. If there’s feta cheese at the salad bar, even better.

Dinner: Spicy Chickpea Curry with Rice

Grab coconut chickpea stew from the vegetarian station and white rice from the cooker or yellow rice if available. Season with garam masala, Old Bay seasoning, a sprinkle of chili powder and black pepper. Add a little sriracha if you want the extra kick!

Dessert: Ultimate Ice Cream Sandwich

Take two cookies from the dessert station and toast them using the panini press for ultimate gooeyness! Add a scoop of ice cream between them for the perfect dinner treat.
