Rick Bayless Officially Opens Frontera Fresco at Norris

Norris University Center celebrated the official grand opening of its new Frontera Fresco location yesterday with acclaimed Chicago chef Rick Bayless in attendance to cutting the ribbon. The Norris location -- which has been serving up tacos, tortas and other locally sourced dishes since November -- is the first and only Bayless restaurant on a college campus.

"Knowing Northwestern, and knowing what an amazing institution it is, we thought this would be a perfect place for us to get our toes in the water of working on college campuses," Bayless said. "It's a privilege for us to be here and to enjoy sharing all of this with all of you."

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Bayless signed books and chatted with students and fans. Click here for more info on Northwestern's Frontera Fresco.
