Gourmet Services is what the HU cooking staff is called, but there is nothing gourmet about the food at all. If you attend an event on campus in which they are catering, the first thing you would say is this is not on-campus food, because it’s well seasoned and actually tasty, but in the cafeteria it’s quite horrible. The cafeteria consists of a salad bar that contains vegetables, salads, and sides, some kind of meat (usually chicken), the sandwich shop, the sweet shop, and don’t forget the main station where you’ll receive your main entrée. The food is considered something one is forced to deal with while living on campus. Many students want to cancel the meal plan, which allows a student three meals a day, everyday, each semester. Others think it is great, primarily the athletes who wish they could eat more than three times a day due to their strenuous activities and busy schedules. On-campus dining is, at times, appreciated, but, for the most part, feared. The best meals from the cafeteria consist of pizza, french fries, fried rice, salad, and sandwiches. Baked chicken is served every single day. Rumor on campus is that it’s not even chicken, but duck. HU failed 23 accounts of inspection in the 2003–2004 fiscal year. It’s not uncommon to see a critter, or two, behind you or crawling up the wall while you’re preparing your plate. Presently, the cafeteria has greatly improved. There were many renovations done to the cafeteria after the violations were exposed on campus. Food services in the cafeteria should be healthier and a little tastier for the students, and they should not be limited to the same thing everyday. Students Speak Out

I don’t believe the food has any seasoning at all, and I’m just glad I had already moved off campus once all those terrible cafeteria violations were exposed. I think I would have had a conniption. |

The food in the student center is banging, but the cafeteria food is absolutely, positively, by far, the most terrible food that has ever touched my tongue. It can’t even compare to other colleges and universities I have visited. Other schools have a plethora of eateries, and they can use their meal card. Not here—that is the worst. |

I guess its okay. I hear people say its bad, but it’s okay to me. Of course, it’s not a home-cooked meal, but food is food. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give the cafeteria a 5. The food in the Student Center is a little greasy for my taste. There should be more of a selection for on-campus students. |

I like the food in the Student Center, but the cafeteria definitely is a no no. I’ve gone broke buying food, so I don’t have to go in there. I just want to know how many different ways you can prepare a chicken each and every day? |

The food and the atmosphere are awful. I eat in there as an absolute last resort, or if I am between classes. There’s not one dish in the café that I can honestly say I like. |
