I Want To Start Out By Saying What I Am About To Write Was Sparked By The Generosity Of Ud's "emergency Free Food" That Was Three Times A Day During The "i Survived The Blackout Week."

As I Am Writing This I Am Staring At A "taco Salad." Now The Reason I Put Taco Salad In Quotation Is, Because In No Way Shape Or Form Is This A Taco Salad.

I Was In A Hurry To Get Home To Get Started On Work So I Ran Into Ku To Grab A Much Needed Taco Salad. I Know It's Not Taco Tuesday, But I Was Craving One. When I Went Up To The Window I Looked Down At The Ingredients That Were Available To Make A Mouth Watering Meal. I Almost Walked Away.

The Normal Buffet Of Options That Existed Last Year For Taco Salads Or Nachos Was Almost Gone. I Had The Option Of Shredded Beef Or Shredded Beef. Sorry I Don't Eat Shredded Beef On Taco Salads. It's Fine If You Like Shredded Beef, But What Happened To The Option Of Ground Beef Or Shredded Chicken?

There Wasn't Even Melted Taco Cheese; It Was A Mix Of Different Shredded Cheeses. Next There Was A Bean Mixture That Looked Like Something That Had Been Sitting Around For A Few Hours With A Strange Film On Top. So As I Am In A Hurry I Took A Look At What Else Was Offered. The Lunch For This Day Was Boneless Chicken Wings. Everyone Loves Chicken Wings, But Who Likes Chicken Wings And Mashed Potatoes Together And To Top It Off In Small Print It Said, "no Gravy Today." I Am Sorry But Mashed Potatoes With No Gravy And With Wings? What Is Going On? I Got A Wrap The Other Day That As Soon As I Opened The Wrapping It Completely Came Apart And There Were Hardly Any Ingredients Inside Of It And I Paid $4.00 For It.

Now The Reason I Say That UD Is Responsible For This Attempt To Make Ku Better Is Because During The Emergency Meals I Made The Walk From The Ghetto To Marycrest. Wow Am I Jealous Of Those Freshmen That Don't Even Know What The Crest Use To Be Like.

Now I Don't Want Ku To Be Replaced Like The Crestaraunt, But Can We At Least Get Food Matchups That Make Sense? Can We Get The Options Back That Make The Food Good And Most Of All, Can The Food Be Prepared Better? I Feel That Things Are Just Being Thrown Together And Ku Has Lost Its Touch.

Everyone In The Ku Dining Room Needs To Take A Few Lessons From Cheryl, She Takes Pride And Makes Sure That Everyone Gets What They Need And The Reason Every Junior Through Fifth-year Leaves Ku Smiling.
