Sodexo, uh-oh

Let's talk about the Loft today. There are a few things that have been brought to my attention of late that I would like to address concerning this eatery.

I think that the Loft is a good idea, because not everyone could afford to eat at Sub Connection, Burger King or Pete's Arena every day, and I have even met some people that would die if their food was not prepared for them.

One thing that I have noticed  after the first week of school is that the Loft has fallen into a rut.

They serve the same types of food each week! I'm all for having the occasional omelet for dinner, or even the General Tso's chicken, but does it have to be every week?

Another option that the Loft offers is a pancake bar. Sounds great, I have a craving for flap jacks every now and then. Problem, the pancakes have been rock hard every time that I have tried them! Are they just left overs from the breakfasts of the past few days? Pancakes shouldn't break your teeth when you try to eat them.

Really it just sort of ruins the mood.

Moving on to the pizza, I've never had anything quite like it. The pizza from Pete's Arena runs circles around that of the Loft's.

I have actually cut my mouth on the Loft pizza before, but maybe I just can't eat well.

I'm not totally heartless. I realize that the Loft employees are cooking for a lot of people, so they have to do what they can. I am just saying that it would be really cool if they brought in even more variety, dishes from other cultures. I mean, isn't that a big part of college.         Experiencing strange, new things?

All of that aside, there are some things that I would like to commend the Loft for. The employees are always very nice, some have even asked me how my day had gone, and there are times when they seem to remember the people who visit their lines on a frequent basis. Furthermore, I have always enjoyed watching people cook, so I really like that they prepare food in front of you, even flipping the contents of the pan.

It makes for good entertainment when you are waiting on your omelet.
