MOUNT GREENWOOD — The new food service provider at Saint Xavier University in Mount Greenwood will soon add another dining option to further tempt students with the dreaded "Freshman 15."
The expression commonly used to describe the amount of weight new students gain their first year of college might be batted around a bit more when the owners of the Country House Restaurant reopen Gilhooley's Grande Saloon at 11 a.m. Saturday.
The university owns the restaurant and bar at 3901 W. 103rd St. in Mount Greenwood, and students have long been able to use their "Cougar Card" to buy food at the establishment just off the main campus.
The owners of the restaurant in suburban Alsip became the university's food service provider on June 30, said Paul Boundas, owner and executive chef at Country House Kitchen. The restaurant dates to 1972, and Boundas took over in 2005.
