Okay, so I know everyone complains non-stop about Mabee Dining Hall, but I would like to take a moment to reflect on some of the (few but mighty) best things about Mabee. Although Mabee is entirely incapable of even coming close to making up for missed home-cooked meals, the dining hall isn't the worst either! Then again we are nowhere near the top... Below is my countdown of Mabee's best. I hope this reminds you to be thankful for Mabee, even in it's most terrible moments-which we'll unpack next week!
8. Ice Cream!!!
When the machine IS working, the soft-serve is always one of the favorites amongst students.
7. Chocolate Milk
I don't know what Air Mark puts in their chocolate milk (probably a lot of sugar and heavy cream...all low calorie of course!) but it's consistently rich goodness never fails to refresh.
6. Cereal
Okay so yes, it is really hard to mess particular food up, but we have to give Mabee some credit for providing a variety. But my parents banned Lucky Charms from the house so I go to town on the sweet cereals while I can here at Trinity!
5. Fried Food
No one...ever...in the history of Trinity students...complains about Mabee French fries... EVER! They plate is always full of hot, crispy deliciousness that students can't get enough off. Just don't ask the workers how many calories are in them.
4. Pasta Line
After a long day of hitting the books, nothing beats a good plate of pasta. The line provides a wide variety of pastas (even wheat for you health nuts!), veggies, meats, and sauces, so you can mix and match combos till your heart's content. I recommend getting creative and asking for a half scoop of marinara mixed with a half scoop of pesto.
3. Pizza
Since my first semester at Trinity I have yet to have a bad slice of pizza in Mabee. I love that they always have a variety... cheese, meat, veggie, combo- whatever you're in the mood for. They have also started to use wheat crust, which is awesome! Also, keep an eye out for their breakfast pizza. It is the BOMB.COM!
2. The Veggie Stir Fry Line
If you have made your laps around the dining hall and cannot find anything you like, the veggie line is the way to go. Plus, if you are looking to take back that freshman 15 gained last semester, this line is probably the healthiest spot in Mabee while still offering so many delicious choices that allow you to get crazy creative!
1. Chocolate Chip Cookies
This pretty much speaks for itself. Mabee chocolate chip cookies are, and always will be, Mabee's #1 redeeming quality. As soon as they pop out of the oven students flock to get in line...just don't get in their way!
