VOLUME 4 | ISSUE 1 | WINTER 2016
TAKE A BITE. Every day there seems to be a new restaurant opening in Durham, and we love trying to keep up. When we were just naïve underclassmen, eating at Marketplace, spending way too much at Whole Foods, and ordering excessively from Merchants-on-Points, we discovered The Duke Bite. Our Duke dining experience hasn’t been the same since. Having both grown up in Southern California, we are always on the hunt for great guacamole and healthy eats. Although we have yet to find a good Acai bowl in the Dirty D, we have learned to love the unique tastes of Durham. Never did we think we would be critiquing buttermilk biscuits, eating wings from a road-side stand, or tracking down a food truck for the ultimate grilled cheese. We hope The Bite will inspire you to test out a new recipe, venture to a new restaurant, and become a more knowledgeable foodie. Stay Hungry, Hayley Bohart and Carly Lincenberg

DID YOU KNOW...
TABBOULEH
Tabbouleh is several thousand years old and originated in the mountainous regions of Lebanon and Syria. It’s considered a superfood because it contains nutritious ingredients like quinoa, bulgar, garlic, peppermint, and olive oil. 3
Late summer signals the beginning of fresh fig season, which lasts through the fall. Figs spoil quickly so it’s important to buy them just a few days before use. The perfect fig should smell mildly sweet; a fig that smells sour is probably spoiled. Why They’re Great: The average fig contains 6% fiber. Fiber-rich diets promote digestive health without leaving you hungry. Leaves from the fig tree are also edible and help regulate insulin levels.
CLAIRE WIEBE & JEAN YENBAMROONG
FIGS
Fun Fact: Ancient Greeks were so enamored with the fruit that they passed a law that forbade exportation of their highest quality figs. Time to Eat: Searching for a satisfying, healthy snack? Goat cheese stuffed roasted figs will hit the spot. Cut an X into each fig and pile goat cheese into the opening. Roast the figs in an oiled pan at 425 degrees until they’re soft, or for about 12 minutes. Drizzle them with warm honey.
Seasonal GREEN BEANS
4
DUKE BITE WINTER 2016
Whether you call them string beans or haricots verts, green beans are one of the most versatile vegetables out there. Purchase them at a farmer’s market, and make sure to choose smooth, firm, emerald green ones! Why They’re Great: They are rich in antioxidants and have a high amount of omega-three fatty acids. This means that they are good for your heart! Plus, eating green beans is a great way to support food sustainability since 60% of commercially grown green beans are produced in the U.S.! Fun Fact: Green beans, like tomatoes, are fruits by definition. In 1893, there was actually a Supreme Court ruling that established beans and tomatoes—along with squash, cucumbers, and peas—as “fruits of the vine,” but as vegetables according to “the common language of the people”. Time to Eat: Looking for an easy way to bring more green beans into your diet? Toss some with sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, melted butter, salt and pepper. Lay them onto an oiled pan and bake for 12 to 15 minutes at 425 degrees. This makes for a tasty dinner side.
BUTTERNUT SQUASH
This cold-weather cousin of the zucchini is a popular ingredient in rich fall dishes. To spot a ripe, sweet butternut sqaush, look for one that is dense with a spotless matte exterior. Why They’re Great: The butternut squash gets its orange color from its high levels of carotenoids (just like carrots and sweet potatoes). However, compared to potatoes, these squash contain more antioxidants, more fiber, and less calories. Fun Fact: If you’re traveling to Australia and want to eat a butternut squash like a local, be sure to call it a butternut pumpkin. Although butternut squash and pumpkins are similar, a pumpkin is a fruit while a butternut squash is a vegetable. Time to Eat: Craving some sweetness in your veggie side dish? Cinnamon-syrup roasted squash are easy to whip up. Start by cutting, peeling, seeding, and cubing a butternut squash. Sprinkle the squash chunks with some cinnamon and drizzle lightly with olive oil and maple syrup. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes, turning them over about halfway through. Enjoy!
SELECTIONS The cushaw squash, or Tennessee sweet potato squash, is a Southern winter vegetable. This crop weighs ten to twenty pounds! It was first cultivated by the Native Americans and has been a staple in Creole and Cajun cooking ever since. Cushaw are also extremely durable and have a long shelf-life. Why They’re Great: The cushaw helps maintain healthy eyesight due to its high amount of beta-carotene. It is also rich in vitamin A, which boosts your immune system. Fun Fact: The cushaw squash can be used as a substitute in any recipe that normally calls for your typical orange pumpkin. It is most commonly found in pumpkin pies, and some actually prefer it over the standard pumpkin. Time to Eat: Ready to indulge in a rich Southern treat? Cinnamon baked cushaw squash are great for a cozy evening by the fire. Core, peel, and slice the cushaw into chunks. Place along the bottom of a buttered pan. Coat the squash in cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar and then place slices of butter on top. Pour heavy cream and half-and-half around the edges of the pan...don’t worry it’s not bathing suit season. Cover cushaw in foil and bake in a 400 degree oven for one hour followed by 10 minutes uncovered. Serve immediately.

THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE VEGAN SOPHIE CUMMINS & CARLY LINCENBERG
An inside look at Duke’s loved administratior, his culinary fanaticism, and his dedication to rebuilding Duke dining from the ground up. We’re all familiar with LMo. You know, the guy who sends the Snow Day emails and makes sure we feel safe after a Central Campus break in. You may not know, however, that Larry Moneta is a devout vegan, a mindful eater, and the man behind the future of Duke dining. About eight years ago, Larry Moneta and his wife took the plunge to become vegan, cutting all animal products out of their diets. His wife has a family history of cancer and after reading The China Study1 she was inspired to try going vegan for 30 days. He agreed to try it as well, and neither of them looked back. Although he doesn’t expect others to quit cold turkey (literally), for him it was all or nothing. Why? Eating meat sparsely would be a tease. As he says, “Tell me I can have a cheeseburger once a month and I’ll creep back to eating them all the time.” Through his commitment to a diet free of animal products, he has learned a lot about nutrition and has channeled this knowledge to create a groundbreaking, and more importantly, delicious dining program here at Duke. We all know Duke is the best school in the country, and soon 6

its food will be too. With forty years of experience working with Duke students, Larry Moneta is tuned in to students’ questions, concerns, and complaints (he even reads Yik Yak!). Although it may be impossible to please every student all the time, he aims to get as close as possible. His vision for the new West Union extends beyond just providing good food. LMo wants Duke’s new dining facilities to foster a sense of community. Currently, many students grab quick meals to-go and
scarf them down in the library, but with improved communal seating options, more appealing facilities, and options for all types of eaters, he hopes that students will sit down a few nights a week to socialize with friends. Building a dining program centered around community means that every student’s needs must be met. In the past, Duke dining has been berated for its lack of allergy-friendly options, leading some students to even request dismissal from the dining plan. Food allergies have spiked in recent years, and Duke has tried to keep up, but a drastic dining overhaul requires immense planning, time, and money. The new dining system will provide a variety of affordable, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free, kosher, vegetarian, and vegan options, all of which will be appetizing, not just edible. All nutritional information will be available and easily accessible for every dish, which will hold Duke’s
Tips from LMo • • • • • •
Eat until you’re 80% full When you’re sitting and working, get up and walk around at least every 50 minutes Adopt meatless Mondays Read The China Study if you’re interested (see footnote for details) If you’re considering becoming a vegan, don’t be worried about lack of options—you won’t be limited (even on campus!) For vegans (or non-vegans!): Try the Tofu in Peanut Sauce on Tuesdays at the Divinity Cafe
food vendors accountable for every ingredient. Duke’s inclusive dining options will also expand your palate and span a variety of cuisines. New features and dining options will include (but are not limited to) a paella bar, Tandoor ovens for Indian food, pizza ovens for Italian food, and Southern cuisine. Duke will even have some farm-totable vendors (so trendy!): the new steakhouse will serve local, grassfed meats and Marketplace has already started cooking with herbs from its very own living wall. With the installation of a teaching kitchen and cooking classes, students will graduate knowing more about their food and how to cook. Fostering community also means supporting local Durham restaurants. Duke wants to help support community vendors and bring the restaurants that students love to campus. This means that favorites like Geer Street Garden and Enzo’s Pizza will no longer be a drive away— they’ll be right on West Campus for students to enjoy on food points. Duke also plans to invite emerging community chefs to campus, which will allow them to test their best dishes and get feedback from students. All of these fancy options sound great, but they need to be affordable. Cost is the biggest complaint that administration receives from students with regard to on-campus food. LMo believes that “good food should not be a privilege.” Students will be able to
Moneta standing proudly in front of the new West Union
eat as healthy as they’d like to without emptying their wallets. Ultimately, Moneta hopes that students will use the school’s new options to become more informed about the food they’re putting into their mouths. With the new West Union, students will have an inviting
place to gather with friends, learn about new cultures through food, and eat mindfully. Chances are you’ll remember the nights you spent chatting with friends over nitrogen ice cream more than the all-nighters you pulled in Perkins. If only us seniors weren’t graduating and could be here to experience it. 1. The China Study is a book written in 2005, that reveals the relationship between consumption of animal products and chronic illnesses such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, and various types of cancer.

AND EAT THIS:
RAMEN Remix COURTNEY SCHWARTZ & RACHEL SHAPIRO
Sick of eating the same old ramen noodles every single night but don’t have the time, equipment, skill, or budget to expand on your culinary creations? Ramen is a classic staple of college dining, and no dorm room would be complete without a half-empty case of ramen packets sticking out from under the bed. Just because ramen is convenient, no student chef should have to suffer from a lack of variety in his or her meals. Get your microwaves ready because we’re bringing you three new twists on your go-to dorm room meal!
SPICY PEANUT NOODLES Prepare the noodles as indicated on the package. Do NOT use the seasoning packet or dehydrated vegetables. Drain the noodles and place in a bowl with cold water. Meanwhile, mix 3 tablespoons of chunky peanut butter with half of the seasoning packet, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of siracha sauce. Drain the noodles and coat them with peanut sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a few drops of water. Garnish your cold noodles with dried coconut flakes, cilantro, peanuts, and squeezed lime juice.
CHOCOLATE RAMEN Prepare the noodles as indicated on the package without the seasoning packet and dehydrated vegetables, but this time, add 1 cup of brown sugar to the water. When the noodles are done cooking, remove almost all of the liquid. Add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and ¼ cup of chocolate syrup (note: you can also melt chocolate to make chocolate syrup). Mix together the ingredients, and coat the noodles in chocolate sauce. Sprinkle confectioner’s sugar on top, and enjoy your ramen dessert!
[RA] MAC & CHEESE Prepare the noodles as indicated on the package, and again, do not use the seasoning or vegetables. Drain the noodles. Melt two tablespoons of butter in the microwave, mix in 3 tablespoons of flour and ½ teaspoon of salt. Add 1 cup of milk. and stir until the mixture becomes smooth. Microwave for 1 minute, remove and stir, and microwave again for another minute. Next, add in 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese and mix until completely melted. Slowly pour the cheese sauce onto your noodles (note: you may not want to use all of the sauce, depending on your personal cheesiness preference). Mix well, and place in the microwave for an additional 2-3 minutes. Eat hot!
TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL Spice it up: Pepper (black, white, cayenne, Szechuan), chili flakes
Get saucy: Rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, miso paste, sesame oil, chili oil
Eat your veggies: Add leafy greens, scallions, or bean sprouts to the hot ramen broth and they will cook instantly! For all other fresh vegetables, add them to the noodles prior to microwaving. For frozen vegetables, thaw them and then add to the cooked ramen. 9

DEVIL’S FOOD: AMERICAN MELTDOWN CARLY LINCENBERG
On the search for the best grilled cheese in Durham? Personally, the grilled cheese from the food truck outside of Shooters just wasn’t doing it for me. When I first bit into the “Pigs and Figs” grilled cheese from local food truck, American Meltdown, I was sold. American Meltdown creates gourmet grilled cheeses using local ingredients. Look for the truck traveling around the Triangle area or visit the new store location at Southpoint mall. Although I still recommend making the trip for the real thing, you can now get your gourmet grilled cheese fix by making this masterpiece at home!
PIGS AND FIGS PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES COOK TIME: 5 MINUTES

FIRST TIME AT the Rodeo? SOPHIE CUMMINS
Believe it or not, Durham was not always the foodie city it is now. Years ago, before our high school dreams brought us to the Bull City, there were very few restaurants to choose from. Their predecessors? Food trucks. Hopeful restauranteurs took the streets in these custom trucks (and bikes and carts!), roaming Durham in hopes of making themselves and their food known in the community. As many trucks began to develop large followings, they used their temporary wheels to experiment with recipes and perfect their cuisines. Food trucks deserve credit for facilitating the explosion of the Durham food scene and for helping hopeful food entrepreneurs hit the ground running in their earliest days. Durham’s Food Truck Rodeo is a celebration of these beloved vendors, which bring inexpensive, delicious, and interesting food to the greater Triangle community. We’ve found that there’s no better way to fill your stomach than by spending a sunny Sunday afternoon perusing the 50+ vendor options in Durham Central Park. Where else can you have a five course meal of pizza, Brussels sprouts, grilled cheese, bibimbap, and a Belgian waffle to top it all off? The Rodeo happens five times a year—be sure to check these trucks out next time, or if you’re really ambitious, stalk them at their daily whereabouts by following them on social media! Here’s the lowdown on some of our favorites.

MARKETPLACE hacks CLAIRE WIEBE & JEAN YENBAMROONG
Calling all Freshmen: Congratulations! You’re halfway through your first year at Duke. Do you know what that means? You’re also halfway through having to eat all of your meals at Marketplace. Here are some sweet hacks to help you make it through the rest of the school year. When you’re looking to splurge after acing a midterm or finishing a tough workout at Brodie, turn to these hacks for some inspiration!
HACK 1: BANANA SPLIT
HACK 2: CARAMEL APPLES
Take your sad bowl of Marketplace ice cream to the next level. Simply slice a banana in half lengthwise and place scoops of ice cream in between. Top the bowl with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles. Chocolate sauce, coconut flakes, chocolate chips, and caramel sauce are also available at the frozen yogurt station.
Struggling with a sweet tooth while trying to avoid the freshmen 15? Combine healthy and sweet to make a caramel apple! Grab an apple, slice it up, and put it in a bowl. Then, head over to the soft-serve topping station and drizzle on some caramel!

FROM tank TO table SOPHIE CUMMINS
WHERE do Japanese koi, a historic fire station, and incredible pizza meet? At Pompieri Pizza. Located in Durham’s historic fire station #1, Pompieri is the brainchild of chef-owner and entrepreneur Seth Gross, a Durham restaurateur who fell in love with Neapolitan-style pizza when visiting Italy years ago. Originally known for his burger joint, Bull City Burger and Brewery, Gross opened Pompieri as a second restaurant. He couldn’t resist the urge to bring the bubbling char of thin crust dough, bursting tomatoes, and creamy hand-stretched cheese to downtown Durham. Pompieri is dedicated to serving authentic pizza made from locally sourced and homemade ingredients. Gross likes to think that his wood fired oven and open kitchen, along with the restaurant’s name—which literally means “firefighter” in Italian—bring the fire back to the firehouse. The Japanese koi that swim in tanks by the restaurant’s ordering line may seem out of place, but in reality, their presence is what 20
DUKE BITE WINTER 2016
A PASSION FOR PIZZA & SUSTAINABILITY ties together Gross’s passion for sustainability and his fiery motif. When you walk in the door, you can’t miss them, but if you’re not paying close enough attention you will miss what’s really going on in these tanks. They are what allow Pompieri to take “local” to the next level. The fish are part of an aquaponics system, which uses nutrients from the water to grow plants in the soil above the tanks. This means that at Pompieri herbs like basil, thyme, oregano, and parsley are grown in-house, plucked, and served on top of pizzas all in the same day. Gross’s bold decision to build an aquaponics system was originally met with skepticism, but has since been incorporated as a thriving and unique aspect of his business. Further, it is a conversation starter and a source
of entertainment for customers as they wait in line to place their orders. The tanks are on display so that customers can see what’s growing and understand where their food comes from. Of course, these herbs also add an element of freshness to the pizza that would not otherwise be possible— order a Margherita at 12:30 PM (like we did) and there’s a good chance your basil was just picked at noon. This system also gives Gross’s team a chance to be more creative with the menu: specials change depending on what’s fresh, and the restaurant has to constantly think on its feet to create innovative combinations that best utilize these home grown herbs. Eventually, Gross hopes to expand his aquaponics system to include edible fish— he has scoured the internet and found freshwater anchovies in Australia, but hasn’t had any luck finding them in the U.S. Until then, the fire-colored koi are the stars of the show and are just one of the many ways that Pompieri is burning with passion.
HOW IT WORKS
STEP 1: Install Aquaponics system
STEP 2: Fish muck up the water and create nutrients
STEP 5: Prepare pizza
STEP 3: Nutrients seep into soil and herbs grow
STEP 4: Harvest the herbs
STEP 6: Cook pizza in 1000 degree oven
STEP 7: Garnish with freshly cut basil and enjoy

As college students, we’ve all given into temptation (or have just wanted a cheap meal) and ordered a plate of Chinese takeout. We’re all familiar with beef & broccoli, lo mein, and General Tso chicken with a side of rice. But what about those Chinese foods that aren’t served at Panda Express or the stir-fry station at Marketplace? Yes, there is such a thing. One delicious type of Chinese food that may not be as well known as others is dim sum. Dim sum is basically snack-sized foods usually prepared and served in steamer baskets or on a small plate. Here’s a guide for a few types of dim sum so that next you find yourself at an authentic Chinese restaurant you can try something new.

These rolls can then be topped of with a seasoned soy sauce and sesame seeds for more flavor. Although the name extends to all types of rice noodles, chee cheong fun literally translates into pig intestine noodle, as a plain rice noodle is rolled more tightly and looks like pig intestine.
Lo mai gai is a classic dim sum dish that originated in the SouthernChinese province of Guangdong. It’s a ball of rice mixed in with chicken, vegetables, and other fillings and is then wrapped in a dry lotus leaf and steamed. North America even has its own variations of this traditional Cantonese dish, as the rice is often wrapped in banana or grape leaves instead of lotus.
Living in the South, many of us have sampled delicious barbeque ribs. But have you ever had Chinese-style spare ribs? These small boney pieces of meat can be prepared in a number of ways and are cooked in a sweet and savory sauce.
Fun gor is another steamed dim sum dish. These half moon shaped delicacies are generally filled with foods such as shrimp, ground beef, and various dried vegetables. These fillings are then wrapped in a thick dumpling wrapper. 27

Also, most pancakes contain white flour, which is processed and can cause health issues when consumed frequently. 1 small sweet potato 2 large eggs 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1/4 tsp. baking soda Coconut oil (if you don’t have any, any other kind of cooking oil is fine) Salt to taste Add-ins (ginger, nutmeg, chocolate chips) Toppings (fruit, maple syrup, honey) Wash, peel, and cut sweet potato into small cubes.

CAULIFLOWER PIZZA
The benefit: More nutrients and less processed ingredients. Cauliflower contains Vitamin 1 medium to large head of cauliflower C, K, riboflavin, magnesium, and thiamin. Its combination of vitamins, minerals, and 1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/2 tsp. dried basil antioxidants can help boost cognitive function and improve blood pressure. 1/2 tsp. dried oregano 1/2 tsp. garlic powder A sprinkle of crushed red pepper 1/4 c. shredded parmesan cheese 1/4 c. mozzarella cheese 1 egg pizza toppings (we used pesto, mozzarella cheese, grape tomatoes, & mushrooms) Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry cauliflower. Cut off florets and pulse them in a food processor until cauliflower has a snow-like consistency. Place “snow” in a bowl, cover, and microwave for 4 minutes. Let cool and then wrap in a dish towel to wring out as much water as possible (this will ensure that your pizza crust is not crumbly). After excess water is removed, pour the cauliflower into a bigger bowl and mix in all ingredients (except toppings). Mix very well with your hands. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick spray and form dough into a pie shape, The verdict: This was our favorite veggie manipulation. The crust had a great consistency making sure it’s tightly packed. Bake until the dough turns and didn’t fall apart. Truth be told, the cauliflower itself didn’t add much to the pizza, but it golden brown—this took about 20 minutes for us. Let cool for a minute, add toppings to your liking, and return to oven for provided a great delivery mechanism for our delicious toppings. another 5 to 7 minutes until cheese bubbles.
CHICKPEA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES 2 cans chickpeas, drained & rinsed (500g once drained) 1 c. quick oats 1/4 c. unsweetened apple sauce 1/2 tsp. salt 1 c. chocolate chips
1 & 1/2 c. brown sugar 3 tbsp. oil (we used coconut, but canola & vegetable are also good options) 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 1/2 tsp. baking soda 2 tsp. baking powder
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend all ingredients except for the chocolate chips in a food processor. Mix in chocolate chips and spoon batter onto a greased cookie sheet (note: the batter won’t expand much, so make sure to flatten out completely). Cook for about 12 minutes or until slightly brown.
The benefit: Chickpeas are great for your digestive system because they are high in soluble and insoluble fiber. They contain high levels of protein and iron. Additionally, you’re eliminating processed white flour and adding in oats, which provide antioxidants, have cardiovascular benefits, and help improve your immune system. The verdict: While we were a bit skeptical about using chickpeas in our cookies, the substitution exceeded our expectations. These definitely tasted best straight out of the oven when they were warm and gooey. Overall, we could barely taste the chickpeas and didn’t regret eating an extra cookie (or two).
