Currently, Minneapolis College is unique in the Minnesota State system for having a locally-owned, locally run cafeteria. Not run and owned by just anyone, but an Minneapolis College alumnus, Jag Agora.
Tiffin Man owner and operator Jag Arora graduated from Minneapolis College in 2004, having received his associate degree in Computer Networking. He transferred to Metropolitan State University where he received his bachelor’s degree in business management.
Jag Agora arrived in Minneapolis coming directly from India when we was 16. In British slang, “tiffing” means to take a little drink. In India, a “tiffin” is a mid-day meal or lunch box. For Jag, it was his childhood. “I was brought up taking my tiffin to school.”
Now Jag offers a tiffin to the students at Minneapolis College, who can order everything from freshly assembled burgers and hot fries to falafel and burritos in the same day. In addition to his commitment to quality and diverse menu offerings, Jag humbly pays his chefs, cooks and cashiers a generous living wage.
From the day he received the offer to take over operation of the Minneapolis College cafeteria in 2015, Jag’s intent for his "Tiffin Man Cafeteria" was to use the best ingredients and cook as much from scratch as possible.
“If you go into my freezer, about the only thing in there is fries. Part of our excitement comes from the opportunity to create global food. My chefs are skilled, and we have the state-of-the-art equipment to do it."
“I am excited to fulfill Minneapolis College’s dining needs and serve students, employees and the community,” said Agora. “I came to the U.S. from India when I was in high school and began my college career at Minneapolis College. In many ways I represent the College’s typical student. I’m glad to be working in the same community where I started my career.”
