Cafeteria

I don't know about others, but I was recently reminiscing about my college dining options and was reminded just by how awesome it actually was! Besides it being consistently tasty and quality (catered by Sodexo!), there was a shitlot of variety in an all-you-can-eat format. Needless to say, my cousin and I did the Freshman 15 (in fact, everyone except my raillike friend Bea did) and my cholesterol probably didn't improve at all. Jumping forward, I ate mostly pasta with hideous amounts of garlic when I moved to a house my sophomore year. Just of the limited number of things I remember from 17 (fucking!) years ago:

-Different specialty bars in every location, including pasta (ours! I have always loved pasta!), wok, pizza and something else I can't remember.
-Belgian waffles made in front of you, with a ton of toppings for weekend brunch.
-Occasional theme nights, like surf-and-turf.
-Tons of variety of basics, like really good sourdough bread and salad stuffs.
-Frozen yogurt machine with flavors like pecan praline.
-Brown bag lunch options, including the best egg salad.

I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

We had Sodexo running our cafeteria at work. They really sucked. So much that their contract was cancelled after only a year; apparently too many people complained.

Well, NB, this was in 1996 and it was Marriott.
