Meal Time

The first thing you think when you hear "culinary school" is food, obviously. So you might ask yourself, does Sarah eat the food they make there? Does it all go to waste? What's the meal plan like? Well I am here to clarify any questions you have.

Yes, in fact I do eat the food that is made during the culinary classes. There are kitchens all throughout Roth Hall(our main building; it used to be a Jesuit Seminary) and at different times during the day they serve food. There's a kitchen specifically dedicated to Asian cuisine, one for American Cuisine, etc. The food that they learn about then prepare as part of their class is what is served to the rest of the student body. The basic meal plan includes two meals a day. There's also a complimentary salad bar, drinks, bread, and desserts(from the baking classes) set up. There are two main dining halls located in Roth. 

There's also the Courtside Cafe located in our Student Rec Center that serves sub sandwiches, burgers, chicken tenders and the like. However that isn't included on the basic meal plan so you have to pay cash. Also there are five restaurants that are open to the public, but again those aren't included on my plan. 

On Saturdays and Sundays it's up to myself to find food. There are plenty of restaurants and fast food places right in town, and I keep some snacks in my room.

Here are some pictures of the food I eat:

Beef Stew with Vegetables, Mashed Potatoes with Potato Chips

Grilled Salmon, Basmati Rice, Grilled Vegetables, Spinach, Cream Sauce

Beef Short Ribs, Stewed Vegetables, Fried Onions

Sometimes by the end of the week I just want a big bowl of chili, or mac&cheese, or a cheeseburger or pizza. Although this food is really good and gourmet, I miss homemade comfort food for sure!
