Gourmet beef available through Catering Services

Connoisseurs will welcome the news that Catering Services has taken delivery of its first shipment of premium beef for sale to the university community. Alumnus Ryan Pearson (BSc 2019) operates the Pearson Wagyu farm near Comber. His cattle are grass-finished and produce heavily-marbled meat. He has arranged with Food Services to offer his beef for direct sale, as well as on catering menus.

“This is a high-end product that produces a superior dining experience,” says executive chef Paolo Vasapolli. “I think it will be a big hit with discerning clients.” Each 1-lb. box of local Wagyu ground beef sells for $20. To order, email catering@uwindsor.ca.
