About Lunch With the Chefs

Lunch with the Chefs (LWTC) is a themed lunch hosted by University Dining at the IMU that is open to the public. When LWTC was first introduced in 1995, by Chef Barry Greenberg, it was originally intended to be a pop up lunch in River Room for around 50 guests, but 120 guests attended. Due to the high demand LWTC now hosts three events during the year in the Iowa Memorial Union (IMU) for 400+ guests.
