Ok, Gators... here is the deal:
For all you underclassmen, you won't remember the joys of the hot bar. Years ago, whence your now-seniors were but freshmen Babies wandering around all bewildered asking questions like "which one is Quigley?" and "does Ravine actually exist?" (i assure you, it does), Brooks dining hall was not the waste of $14 a meal that it is today. (do the math, depending on your meal plan it may be as much as 17 dollars a swipe).
In those days there was always something to eat at dinner... a GOOD salad bar that didn't just have dead-looking wilted leaves, pizza every night, pastas and several sauces... and yes... we still complained.
Anyway... the crowning jewel of the Brooks of the day was the Hot Bar. One half of what is now the deli bar and the salad bar was the Hot Bar... a bar of hot dishes filled with pasta, bread sticks, macaroni and cheese, casserole, soups, sauces, chili... almost anything you could imagine. it was glorious.
It is back... sort of. Today i was walking by the pizza station when i looked to the left and saw... a pasta bar. That is right, two different types of pasta, and four sauces. Now... as per usual with me, i was annoyed that all four sauces were red. How many red sauces can there be? That much was foolish, but as far as having a pasta bar back? That is a huge step in the right direction.
I guess Sodexho and our nemesis, Ronny Sim', are getting nervous with all this talk of getting kicked off campus. So, for the time being... this is a step in the right direction... just in time for some of us to move on...
