What Do College Students Miss Most While They're Away From Home?

A HOME COOKED MEAL.
Unless Mom is shipping you meals on dry ice to your dorm- you can't get much closer to a home cooked meal than Chef John's meal creations. Take one back to your dorm and in less than 5 minutes you have a fresh, healthy, and delicious meal on your kitchen table/night stand/desk!

Who Are We?

What is one thing that a University and a great chef have in common? They both love to educate about their passions. Robert Morris University has taken many initiatives to educate their students about supporting local farmers, eating healthy, and feeling great about their diets and now they will actually be able to support that lifestyle with the help of Chef John des Rosier. Chef John is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and has grown under the instruction of wonderful chefs including our very own Charlie Trotter. His recent creation, Wisma, allows the typical, busy American to eat organically, healthy, and deliciously at an affordable price. He prepares all of his food from scratch and fresh every single morning. You can truly taste the integrity and freshness of his food in every bite.

Wisma is convenient and supports a lifestyle that every American should move towards. The First Lady, Michelle Obama promoted a $400 million dollar initiative to increase access to healthy, affordable food in elementary schools nationwide and Wisma U and I would like to make the same initiative for college students who understand Wisma’s philosophy, but are short on time and lack financial resources to eat healthy and sustainably. Over 60 million U.S. adults, ages 20 years and older, are considered obese and we have the power to change that one University at a time. Another key contribution that RMU and Chef John have in common is their going green initiatives. According to Wisma’s website, “Our stores are built using 100% reclaimed and recycled materials, from our seating areas to the fridges that house our amazing cuisine, all is re-used. Our utensils and bags are made from renewable or recycled contents, and our carry out containers are recyclable, re-usable, microwave and dishwasher safe, and freezable (Wisma.us).” All of his menu items support local farmers and are subject to whatever ingredients are in season. Nothing has any type of preservative nor is anything frozen (except the ice cream). His sustainable focus, culinary expertise and nutritional background creates a whole new way of eating, drinking and living well. He refers to his menu selections as “cuisine for you castle” and even though most of us are living in dorms or apartments the size of a closet, we would really appreciate and benefit from the convenience, nutrition and affordability that Wisma can offer us.

All you hear about in the news these days is cancer, diabetes, a new rare disease and the rising obesity rate in America. Isn’t it about time we go back to our roots and eat the way our great grandparents did? There is a reason why they lived to be ninety years old! Our grandparents grow their own produce and never cook anything out of a can, but they’re retired and have all the time in the world to prepare a fresh meal. If there is one thing college students do not have, it’s time and that’s why Wisma would truly benefit students who want and need to have a healthy lifestyle. A majority of Chicago students are commuters and spend eight to twelve hours a day on campus, which often forces them to purchase lunch and sometimes dinner downtown. It is pretty easy to put on the “freshman fifteen” when there is nothing but Sbarro, McDonalds and rehydrated cafeteria food on campus. Wisma U and myself plan on pursuing other Universities to participate in pledging our mission, but we would like Robert Morris University to be the first. By introducing Wisma products into the Student Center and University Housing Centers, we can provide a unique, affordable, convenient and most importantly, healthy experience to both students, staff and faculty.
