The cafeteria won the excellence award!? With the award, the caf received $100,000, which will be spent on a giant cotton candy machine, a swimming pool in the caf and a trampoline the size of a football field.
I know what you are thinking, "It's about time," and I agree.
It's about time they get credit for their salisbury steak and honey mustard chicken, their Bruegger's Bagels and tofu.
What organization granted this award? Well it's similar to the cafeteria's meat; a mystery.
During this past week I've been spreading the good news all around campus, but all the responses I've gotten were questions.
Junior Rachel Dede asked a question about the organization who gave our cafeteria the cash prize.
"Wow!" responded Dede. "How many other schools' cafeterias did they eat at?"
After I shared the exciting news with junior Ryan Vary, I received a sequence of questions, which I tried to answer the best I could.
"Who gave the caf this award?"
"Not sure."
"When did this happen?"
"No one knows."
"What does the excellence award mean?"
"Couldn't tell ya."
Rumors suggest that a Public Safety officer won the lottery and made the award, but this myth was soundly dispelled. "This isn't a Public Safety issue, it's a community issue," said Director of Public Safety Ron Stowe. "We're all impacted by this."
It may not seem like it, but there are a few things I do know. Although I don't know squat about the award, I do know a lot about the ever-so-popular caf. In fact, I'm an expert.
The cafeteria and I have been through a lot, good meals and bad.
I've had their pasta and Italian beef sandwiches, plenty of their tacos and chicken, dozens of delicious cheeseburgers and a couple of veggie burgers, which were in the cheeseburger tray.
The mac-and-cheese makes my stomach rumble and thinking about their lasagna makes my mouth water.
The caf prepares a mean stir-fry and the international station always hits the spot.
