Lobster in Dining Halls Bound To Happen Eventually
The food no longer sucks: At Bowdoin College and other schools around the country, the food just wasn’t good enough, apparently. The NYT reports that schools are increasingly serving up classy dining options, like “vegetable ragout over polenta, spicy orange beef, Dijon-crusted chicken, cheese quesadillas, vegetarian pho ?Vietnamese noodle soup ? and spinach saut?ed with garlic and olive oil.”
At Virginia Tech, you can order a “whole main lobster,” along with other upscale dining items - for more money, of course.
This is depressing. We are gentrifying every aspect of college as quickly as possible. What’s wrong with tough grilled chicken and soggy vegetables, I ask you? Apparently college dining services “had to do this,” because kids pick schools based on how the food tastes, which I find hard to believe.
