Students returned from spring break to a new dining option officially available on campus: a food truck operated by So-Full Sisters will now be parked outside BiHall and the Freeman International Center every weekday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. starting Monday, March 24. The email announcing the food truck’s opening from Student Government Association President B Striker ’25 also noted that the BiHall kiosk, which opened in September 2023, has permanently closed.

“The BiHall kiosk closure is part of a broader effort to find a more sustainable model for serving students across campus,” Striker said in an interview with The Campus. 

Striker noted in his original email that student workers formerly employed by BiHall’s kiosk will be offered shifts in dining halls to compensate for their lost hours.

The So-Full Sisters arrive on campus after previously having operated at Rikert Outdoor Center in Ripton, Vt. and in Rhode Island. The food truck’s speciality is their chicken and waffle bowls, but their menu also includes bagels, breakfast sandwiches, coffee, baked goods and other snacks.

Leah Klatzker, co-founder of So-Full Sisters, shared her excitement about working with Dining Services in an interview with The Campus. 

“I had been talking with the Dining Operations Manager, Dan Detora, who reached out to us. He knew about us and he said that it would be a great idea. There’s no hot food or coffee on this side of the campus, besides the little convenience store,” Leah Klatzker said. 

Leah Klatzer started So-Full Sisters during the Covid-19 pandemic with her twin sister, Rachel Klatzker. 

“We wanted people to gather outside safely and still create a connection during a time where everybody you know was scared and disconnected… it's just all about the community for us and bringing a smile to people's faces,” Leah Klatzker said. “It’s a lot of hard work, but the reward is making people smile with our food.”

Leah Klatzker also noted how sisterhood has withstood the test of co-founding a food service business. Although Rachel will not be working at the on-campus location, Leah thinks fondly of their relationship as both twins and business partners. 

“We fight a lot, but we don’t take it personally, you know? We just get over it immediately. We also can just look at each other when it's busy, and both just know what to do and who needs to do what. If I'm working with my sister, we just look at each other and say, it’s go time. Let’s go,” she said. 

The food truck has already attracted students, with many excited by the prospect of a continually open dining option. Shirley Maldonado ’27 noticed that the BiHall kiosk was never open during times of significant student traffic in the building. After making a purchase from the food truck, Maldonado expressed her satisfaction.

“I just got a mocha latte. I really like it. I think it’s perfect, now as it’s getting a bit warmer. I study here every day and most of the time I would try to go to the kiosk, but it would be closed. So unfortunately, I wouldn’t be able to buy anything,” she said. 

Cindy Castillo ’27 echoed these complaints about the former kiosk. 

“Although I don’t study here as often, whenever I went to the kiosk, it was never open,” Castillo explained. 

Both students said they enjoyed their mocha lattes, adding that they plan to return to the truck.
