It's Thyme: New Allergen-Friendly Dining Venue
"It's Thyme" is officially open in its new location at the Bryan Center! Bringing a fresh and innovative dining experience to the Duke community, It’s Thyme is operated by Erik and Rebecca Dailey, and their stellar team, and promises a worry-free culinary adventure catering to all, including those with the top nine food allergens.
About the Menu: Dive into the delectable world of It's Thyme, where the menu is a delightful journey split into three sections: 'Our Thyme,' 'Your Thyme,' and 'Its Thyme.'
Our Thyme: Discover bowls inspired by Team Thyme – the diverse and talented kitchen staff hailing from around the globe. From Charbel's "Bowl Beirut" with Lebanese flair to Nuvia’s’ “Carnival Caliente,” each dish has a personal touch. The goal is for guests to connect with the creators like Kanis who might be crafting tofu or preparing bowls, eager to share her spicy tofu secrets.
Your Thyme: Embark on a student-inspired culinary adventure, featuring bowls crafted by DUSDAC (Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee) representatives and open to submissions from Duke students. Unique creations, allergen-free and approved through exclusive taste tests, will be spotlighted with students’ names and their stories!
It's Thyme: Customize your own bowl with local and fresh ingredients and enjoy stories of the suppliers behind them. The Lavender Roasted Chicken comes from Sunshine Lavender Farm, run by local farmers Annie and "Farmer Dale" Bagget who will share their stories at interactive meet-and-greets.
Beverages: Quench your thirst with It’s Thyme’s signature Lavender Lemonade and explore the rotating flavors of Dole whip bowls, including the Moscow Mule Whip—a lime Dole whip with ginger beer sauce and a lime wedge.
Student Feedback: It's Thyme values student input, shaping its success. One-third of the menu is named aWer students who shared their culinary inspiration with the team. The concept is inclusive, allowing those with the Top 9 food allergens to savor any menu item any day of the week.
