Attention all Athens foodies: Spoon University has recently expanded and a chapter has been started here at Ohio University. Spoon University, according to its website, is "the everyday food resource for our generation, on a mission to make food make sense." Essentially, SpoonU is an online platform that celebrates all things food, and what could be better than that? Food blogging has become extremely popular as social media use has blown up, and Spoon University provides a platform for college students to build connections over their love for food.

College is a time of firsts, and a major first we sometimes forget is navigating a kitchen on our own for the first time. Spoon University makes it simpler for college students to adapt to cooking for themselves by providing simple recipes, tips for bargain grocery shopping, and the even the best places to grab something to eat at several campuses around the nation.

Ohio University offers some of the most unique and diverse eats of any college campus. Court Street is packed with a variety of different restaurants that serve up anything from Americanized burritos at Big Mama's, to fried just about anything at Souvlaki's, and even gourmet hot dogs at O'Betty's. Spoon University's chapter here at Ohio University will give Bobcats the opportunity to celebrate their favorite foods here in small town Athens, Ohio.

Spoon University is also on a mission to target college students that are a little lost in the kitchen. SpoonU offers general, as well as campus unique tips, to maneuver the kitchen and college in general, alone for the first time. Spoon University's website offers stories about food, wellness, and lifestyle written by college students for college students.

Ohio University has just kick-started their own chapter of Spoon University. The organization is made up of a team of enthusiastic, food-loving college students wiling to share their experiences with food while being away at college. The team is split into an editorial group, made up of student writers that will blog for the site, as well as media group, made up of students that will work to market SpoonU specifically at Ohio University.

Spoon University's journey at Ohio University has just begun, but will only grow and expand with the strong team that is working behind it. For more information about SpoonU at OU, follow their Instagram @spoon_ohiou and join the food movement!
