Gonzaga University’s Zag Dining Delights with Feb Food Festivities

Gonzaga University’s Zag Dining is bringing students and the community together for a series of festive dining events throughout February. The celebration kicked off with a special Valentine's Day dinner at The COG, where each station transformed into a culinary journey reflecting different phases of a relationship. From first impressions to long-term comfort, the themed menu offered dishes that encapsulated each romantic milestone.

The Valentine's Day menu featured:

• Simple Servings – Cornish Game Hen, Wild Rice, Grilled Asparagus, Brussels Sprouts and Kale Salad, and Butternut Squash Quinoa Cakes with Mornay
• 360 – Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp (traditional and spinach noodles), Caesar Salad, and Garlic Breadsticks (VG Alfredo Sauce available)
• Spike’s – Sliders on Ciabatta Rolls, Crinkle Fries
• Special Valentine’s Day Desserts

In addition to the Valentine’s dinner, Iggy’s Market hosted a successful Valentine’s Dessert Pick-up earlier in the week, where pre-ordered sweet treats were distributed. For those who missed the online order deadline, a limited selection of desserts remained available in-store for last-minute shoppers.

Zag Dining’s February festivities continue with a lineup of engaging events. The Love Your Food social media contest takes place every Friday on Instagram, with winners announced the following Monday. This contest runs for three weeks, with the final one happening on Friday, February 21. Participants can check the Zag Dining Instagram page for details on the previous two contests.

As part of Black History Month, The COG will host a special dinner on Feb. 25, honoring African American culinary traditions with a specially prepared menu. Brittany Smith, a dedicated member of the Zag Dining team, has volunteered to take the lead on organizing the dinner as a representation of the team’s commitment to cultural celebration. The menu will feature:

• Smothered Pork Chops with Onion Gravy
• Baked Macaroni and Cheese
• Fresh Candied Yams with Marshmallows
• Collard Greens with Ham Hocks
• Cornbread

Zag Dining also announced a Kiwibot Mobile Ordering Promo, giving customers who place orders through the Everyday App a chance to win an instant camera. The promotion runs through Feb. 28.

Zag Dining Restaurant Week will take place from Feb. 24-28 at its retail dining locations. With each purchase at Iggy's Market, The Bulldog, Qdoba, or Starbucks, customers receive a punch card. To complete the card, a purchase of any value from all four locations is required. Once the punch card is full, participants are entered for a chance to win a dinner for four at The Bulldog.

Through these events and promotions, Zag Dining continues to create unique dining experiences that bring the community together. Whether celebrating cultural heritage, engaging with social media contests, or enjoying seasonal menus, there are plenty of opportunities for students and guests to connect over great food.
