When did the cafeteria start sucking ***?
When I was in college (1997-01), the cafeteria was pretty good. I mean, sure there was the Grill Nazi, but if you got on her good side, all was well. When we hosted friends from rival schools and went to the cafeteria before the game, it was "This is the ****." "Our cafeteria sucks, but State's is awesome."
So wanting to partake of a pre-game meal, the wife and I go to the cafeteria. Noticable differences, a little more expensive, but hey, it's the MSU cafeteria - it's the ****, right?
That was the most disgusting meal I have ever eaten. Whoever is running the place now needs to be beaten. On no less than three occassions, I took a bite of something that made me want to throw up.
Observations.
1. Name another place that has a salad bar without crutons. The salad was the only edible part, but no crutons.
2. The chicken spaghetti tasted like styrofoam.
3. The pizza was cold and nasty - reminded me of a bad CiCis.
4. You used to be able to get no less than a half a dozen entree selections during the "all you can eat" times. Today, one. Pork chops. They sucked.
5. Custom grill - my ***. After trying the styrofoam spaghetti, cold nasty pizza and crappy pork chop, I opted for the grill - get me a cheeseburger or something. Nope. The only thing they had was some chicken that llooked like tuna fish. I asked for it on texas toast, but they could only use a bun. Did not make sense to me, as it was an all-you-can eat ordeal. I asked if I could get the chicken on the side and two pieces of texas toast and that was okay. I went back to my seat and took one bite and nearly threw up.
6. My wife finally gave in and went and got both of us a grilled cheese. We essentially paid 10 bucks each for a grilled cheese.
7. There was a time that you could look forward to MSU ice cream after your great meal at the cafeteria. Muscadine ripple, chocolate almond - all the great flavors. They don't even serve MSU ice cream in the MSU cafeteria. They had freezer burned vanilla.
A very disappointing visit to a place that to this day I believe made one of the three best turkey and dressing combos I have ever eaten.
So my question for those in the know - what happened?
Also - I'll lump another complaint into this. I don't complain much after 34-10 wins.
To the two foreign douchebags in our section that had no idea what was going on - you take your damn wal-mart MSU hats off and stand during our national anthem. You do not shout in a foreign language to one another while our national anthem is being played. You are lucky you didn't get your *** kicked.
