Saint Vincent College dining services has expanded by nearly 50 seasonal workers who will join a staff of 75 to prepare and serve the Pittsburgh Steelers and the tens of thousands of fans who will attend their 48th annual summer training camp opening Saturday, July 27.

Under the supervision of general manager Reggie Esmi and executive chef Dan Keeley, the department has been planning for months for the Steelers return by finalizing the menus for regular daily meals and snacks as well as the menu for field concessions for fans. Saint Vincent Dining ensures that the Steelers and all campus visitors enjoy the same high quality service and hospitality that students and other campus guests regularly experience.

“We try to change things up as much as possible to keep it interesting,” Esmi noted. “In addition to the regular menu, the players enjoyed being surprised with unexpected offerings.”

In preparation for the three weeks of camp, dining services placed an order which would dwarf those at some major restaurants. This year that order included 1,600 pounds each of beef and chicken and 1,100 pounds of fish. The chefs cook outside on charcoal grills daily.

The order also includes 1,200 pounds of cheese and 120 cases – 5,800 individual servings – of ice cream novelties and frozen confections.

“The players love juice,” Keeley said, “We ordered 160 gallons of orange juice, 90 gallons each of peach, cranberry and apple juice and 50 gallons each of guava and grape juice. We will also serve more than two tons of fresh fruits since the players consume a total of about 120 pounds every day of bananas, plums, nectarines, peaches, oranges, apples, grapefruits and cherries.”
