Dining Hall trip first impressions (typed by Kamilla)

Ysabelle

It surprised me that Chef Boots works 70 hours a week. I feel too, like Lauren said, that the staff is under appreciated. I think that we are far ahead of the curve by both being Green as well as Fair Trade. I like how the school supports a global perspective in all aspects including dining. This environment strikes me as a hard working group that is reaching out to our local community(farm fresh Fridays) as well as reaching out to the global community(fair trade).

So many levels of organization, the team of workers put a lot of effort into the production and presentation of all of our food. They have made so many improvements and really do a great job. I'm ready for dinner.

The detail that struck me was the room that cleans the dishes. It reaches 200 degrees which is interesting. I know that just boiling forks, spoons, etc eliminates germs. The machine that reaches 200 degrees surely eliminates any doubts that there on any germs on the utensils we use.

It struck me as i was visiting Marymount's Cafeteria how different this place is versus others, like my old school cafeteria. Here is almost a restaurant quality - in choices, options and even how nice it looks. Other places it's like 2 choices, not specialized food, and dull scenery. The food here sometimes i wish i could have the recipe for! Back in high school i don't think they had recipes, just frozen food that they heated up. And only long tables to sit on.

Something that caught my attention in Dining Hall was the vegetarian section. I don't usually see that in many cafeterias so i was surprised to see that they have it. I love how they use different kinds of vegetables, not just corn, etc. It's nice that they don't waste as much food either. Also, vegans can there as well which is nice because they don't have as many options. the vegan/ vegetarian section looks healthy and delicious!

I always cared about sushi station here, just because i really love good sushi. And what did struck me the most about it? I noticed that there are 2 workers there and i shocked to know that girl is like recognizable sushi maker and i don't like her sushi at all. They always fall apart when you put them into soy sauce. But man who looks a little bit Japanese knows his job, his sushi is pretty good actually, thanks God that he is making sushi for today!

One thing that i thought was interesting is hearing sushi described as "a hot spot". I knew that the sushi was popular here, but i guess it never really registered for how much people liked it. I just thought that was really interesting.
