Dio: The First Legit (and obviously awesomest) Post

It looks like I get to start, which is amazing and awesome and a little nerve-wracking at the same time. But, anyways, here we go.

Dio here, currently going to school in a town a little ways away from LA. I won't be rating the neighborhood or safety of the school today, nor will I be prattering on about academics (though I do admit, my classes are hard). No, today I've decided to tell you about the food here.

Admittedly, food at most colleges is horrible, or at least sub-par. I've experienced this myself; three of the dining halls around here have typical, college-type food. The pasta is undercooked, the meat overcooked, and the halls overbooked. Those, though, have nothing to do with the one I'm mentioning today.

The one closest to my dorm is, on most days, a hit-or-miss. If you go for the Indian (Indian as in the country India, not the Indian Americans, who I refer to as Native Americans anyways) food, chances are you will be disappointed... unless you have no idea what authentic Indian cuisine tastes like. Then you'll consider it acceptable until you find out what you've missed out on. Anyways (I tend to ramble and go on tangents. It makes for better conversations), the burger bar normally serves fries that range from acceptable (the thick-cut fries) to amazing (the waffle fries and sweet potato fries). The burgers themselves are pretty good and make for a filling lunch, although the servings are a bit large for dinner. Normally, we also have the choice of pizza/calzone/various baked casserole-y things from the "Oven". Stay away from the pizza. Their dough is undercooked at times. The flatbreads are okay, and the other offerings are generally good.

We have a spot here titled "Exhibition", which always draws long crowds because they serve (three guesses, and two are out) more ethnic food! Yeah, no. Some days, it's okay, like when they have omelettes and make your own pasta and sushi, but other days, when they have "Beef Shabu Shabu Bowl" and the noodles are spaghetti noodles or "ramen" (again, made with spaghetti noodles), stay away. Stay far, far away.

The desserts here are okay, if you stick to the cookies. My group of crazies here have tried sampling every other dessert they have here, and the unanimous vote is: stick to the cookies. You will thank me for saying this, if you ever visit.

Wow, okay, that went a lot longer than I expected. This concludes Dio's (first) foodie post, and the first legit post of the 5 Case Studies blog. See you later (or not).
