Beth came to the Campus Club in September of 2006 after several years of cooking at Minneapolis' premier local foods restaurant, Lucia's Restaurant and Wine Bar. Prior to Lucia's Beth was a pastry chef at the Birchwood Cafe, as well as a food writer, publishing articles in various Twin Cities publications. In her time at the Campus Club, she has transformed the menu and cooking style by sourcing local, seasonal and organic foods, and using scratch cooking methods. Beth is the author of the Campus Club Centennial Cookbook, written in 2011.
