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.


Let's be honest: burgers and sloppy joes have their place in the culinary world, but when they become the mainstays of the dinner menu, it's a recipe for monotony. Students shuffle into the dining hall, their expectations dashed as they're met yet again with the same predictable choices. It's a culinary Groundhog Day that's become all too familiar.


What's more frustrating is the belief that there's no alternative. The argument that "it's cost-effective" or "it's what students like" no longer holds water. Muskingum University has the resources and funds to offer a more diverse and nutritious selection.


So, what can be done to break this tiresome cycle and elevate the dining experience? Firstly, it's time to diversify the menu. How about introducing a rotation of fresh salads bursting with seasonal veggies, hearty grain bowls brimming with flavor, or even internationally inspired dishes that celebrate global cuisine?


Additionally, embracing vegetarian and vegan options isn't just a trend; it's a necessity. A substantial portion of the student population is looking for healthier and more sustainable choices. Incorporating plant-based meals that are both nutritious and delicious can cater to this growing demand and add much-needed variety to the dining hall menu.


The power of themed nights cannot be underestimated. Imagine Taco Tuesdays, Pasta Thursdays, or Stir-Fry Fridays. These themed dinners can inject excitement and anticipation, providing a break from the culinary monotony while offering a diverse range of options.


Furthermore, listening to student feedback is crucial. Conduct surveys or establish student panels to gather insights into their preferences. What do they want to see on the menu? What cuisines excite them? Their voices matter and can steer the direction of dining hall offerings.


Lastly, let's not forget the importance of quality ingredients. Fresh produce, whole grains, and lean proteins can form the foundation of meals that are not only tasty but also nourishing. Investing in high-quality, wholesome ingredients can transform the dining experience and promote healthier eating habits among students.


In conclusion, the call for change in Muskingum University's dining hall dinner menu is loud and clear. It's time to break free from the burger and sloppy joe routine and embrace a more diverse, nutritious, and exciting dining experience. With a willingness to innovate and cater to student preferences, the dining hall can become a place where students look forward to their meals with anticipation and satisfaction.

Frozen Fries need to stop !

 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 missing out on the whole "freshly prepared" vibe here. Instead, it's like we're munching on Arctic sticks instead of something that should complement our meals. 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
