I would like to discuss just how amazing Top Ramen noodles are. I'm writing this after preparing myself a delicious meal that costs less than a quarter to make. The chicken Ramen is unbeatable in flavor and all around feel goodness. I don't understand how something so pivotal to the food pyramid can go without the respect it deserves for so long. Anyway I've come to understand that Virginia Tech is known as the number one on-campus food provider in the nation ( according to a private review ). Compared to other campuses this may be true but after eating it for so long without a break all of it seems to taste the same to me. Owens is probably the biggest culprit of all in this crime. The general tso's (that you get three quarters of a scoop of and then 2 more on top) and the mexican food taste like they're made with the same stuff. Maybe it's the smell of all the foods in one place combining that makes me feel this way. D2, other than sunday brunch which is a staple of my diet, has only one good thing; the grilled sandwiches. I could my personal chef boyardee to cook me up something that tastes better than the italian food there. I will admit that during the first month of school I loved D2 more than anything, but after making three trips to the desert bar after every meal I started to rethink my life. West End's chop house is respectable, but the pizza is worse than out of a box. The fries and burgers and things are okay for a fast food fix but if I eat that I might as well wait til 2:30 a.m. and order pokey stix. My whole grieveance I suppose is that Virginia Tech shouldn't get as much credit for the food as it does. It does get me through my days and I'm stuck eating it it's not that big of a deal. But they must kick it up a notch when these critics from the reviewers come in because as a freshman going to the COLLEGE WITH NUMBER ONE FOOD IN THE NATION, I just expected more.
