The Food Committee is a group of Sixth Formers who plan the seasonal menu for Gibbs Dining Hall and promote appreciation for the Eaglebrook kitchen staff, representing the students. The Food Committee meets weekly after Sunday dinner. After entering the boardroom, the meeting begins with a weekly appreciation for the school staff, especially the kitchen staff, followed by snack-pack suggestions and more.

This year, the Food Committee has been collecting menu suggestions from students and sharing recipes submitted through the meal suggestion box. In collaboration with the Sustainability Committee, the Food Committee has also been measuring food waste generated during meals. By analyzing the data for each menu, they have determined the number of specific meals to prepare based on the results. This approach saves time and effort, ensuring that no food is cooked and then discarded.

Recently, the Food Committee has been assigning members to serve during the Sunday brunch and managing faculty substitutes. They have also been developing solutions for students with food neophobia, who struggle to try new dishes, so they can enjoy the offerings at Gibbs.
