Tired of the Burgers and Joe's

The repetitive cycle of burgers and sloppy joes at Muskingum University's dining hall it's a arc that seems to play on an endless loop, and frankly, the students have had enough. Day in and day out, the lunch and dinner menus offer the same tired options, leaving the student body exasperated and craving variety, nutrition, and flavor.

 Okay, let's talk about those fries at the Muskingum dining hall. You know the ones—they're always there, piled high, and looking promising, but when you bite into them, it's like entering the frozen food aisle of a grocery store. They lack that oomph, that warmth, that crunch we all crave in a good batch of fries. The problem? They're frozen. Yeah, they don't get the TLC that fresh fries would.

We're not just griping about taste here; we're wishing for change. Picture this: golden fries, cut from real potatoes, seasoned just right, and crispy to the bite. Each nibble would be a celebration of freshness, satisfying our fry cravings and making our meals more enjoyable. But it's not just about the fries; it's about having cooks who know their way around a kitchen. It
