WHAT I WISH I KNEW BEFORE COMING TO COLLEGE:

I wish I knew what I wanted out of college so that I could have started at Roosevelt instead of having to transfer in after my first year. But in the end, it is all working out!

By Morgan Erickson, psychology and criminal justice major

Are you looking for the right meals to eat in the Roosevelt McCormick Dining Center (fondly known as “the Caf”)? Here are my recommendations for the best meals from each station.

Two of my favorites from the Grill include the philly cheesesteak sandwich and the breakfast sandwiches. The philly cheesesteak comes with chicken, grilled onions and peppers, and your choice of melted cheese on a white roll. I’m not sure if this is a coincidence or not, but when I’m eating a philly cheesesteak from the Caf, my week is so much better! I also highly recommend stopping by the Grill for breakfast (Monday-Friday from 7:30-10:00 a.m.). Nothing is better  than a bacon, egg and cheese bagel sandwich. A good source of protein if you are on the run, too.

The buffalo chicken wrap is always the go-to when it is the special of the week at the Deli station. The buffalo chicken wrap is served on a tomato wrap with sliced chicken, lettuce, american cheese, tomatoes, and buffalo sauce. It is served cold but but can always be warmed up in the toaster or panni.

My favorite special at the Bravo station are the crepes. Crepes only come around every so often so when they are out, I always make sure to take advantage! The crepes are made right in front of you and there are plenty of toppings (Nutella, bananas, whipped cream, and berries) available.

The World Flavors station has some of the very best Caf options. They serve nachos, quesadillas, chicken and rice, but my personal favorite are the tacos. There are multiple meat and vegetarian options and a choice of toppings such as cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo, cilantro, and jalapenos.

Do you have some favorite “Caf” meals that I didn’t list? Let me know.
