Today’s menu featured cheeseburgers on the grille and fish sticks on the Our Kitchen, Your Kitchen Station. Desserts today included cake in celebration of November birthdays, and deep fried Oreos at the Innovation Station, in the center room.

“Lunch has been a little busy so far,” said Junior Nick Byram, a Sodexo cook who was assigned to the fish stick station just prior to the rush. “With the cheeseburgers on the grille, my station has been a bit slower than over there.”

The smell of cheeseburgers was most prominent, as all three dining rooms were filled with the sounds of chatter; with very few tables left empty by 12:15 p.m.

Sophomore Brendan Cerone sat in the back room, quietly eating his meal- a cheeseburger. “Nothing else looked particularly appealing,” he said, “aside from the deep-fried Oreos, which I’ll probably grab in a few minutes.”
