The Pasta Line---

When one thinks of Mabee Dining Hall, the word “pasta” would definitely come to mind. The pasta found in Mabee may be one of the most popular meals in all of Trinity. After giving their pasta a taste, it is no wonder that this meal has become Trinity’s favorite. There are many factors, other than the great taste itself, that makes the pasta in Trinity so popular.

The first factor is that diners are given many choices on how they want their pasta to be done. Not only are they given a choice of 3 different kinds of pasta, they are also given choices on what sauce, meat or cheese they want in their pastas. With so many ways that diners can customize their pastas with, it would naturally appeal to many different individual tastes, which in turn would attract more customers.

Secondly, the young workers who are stationed at the pasta line are simply enjoyable to be around. Not only do they serve you with great tasting pastas, but they are also always lively and never fail to provide you with a little entertainment while waiting in line. From their unfortunate stories at work to their nonsensical arguments, you will always leave that pasta station with a little smile on your face.

Philly Cheese Steak Anyone?

It has been over a month since I first moved to this campus and I have tried every single item that both Mabee and Coates Dining Halls offer. Although the quest of trying everything on the menu was exciting, the feeling after I have done the feat was disappointing. I felt much less satisfaction than I initially expected. Now, whenever it is time for lunch or dinner, I always hope that one of my friends who owns a car is planning to eat out, since, to be honest, I really am not looking forward to eating in campus anymore.

Recently however, I have found something that changed my attitude on this issue. A friend of mine told me that it is actually possible to order something that is totally off the menu, like the Philly Cheese Steak for one. This delicacy can be found in Grille Works in Coates, which is you can usually find the Sirloin burgers or the grilled chicken sandwich. You can just ask them if they have it that day (which is usually a yes) and it costs a reasonable amount too ($5.00 since I last bought it).

I have not really found other foods that the school sells off menu, but I guess with a little “asking around” I could find plenty more. As soon as I find one, I will be sure to inform you in my blog.
