I asked 11 students about their favorite food from the cafeteria. See if your favorite is on the list!
I like breakfast from the cafe. My favorite item… that’s hard. I’ll just say pancakes, because those are always an option.
Davielle Smith (junior, math and music)
This is a boring answer, but my favorite individual food is the waffle fries and my favorite meal is Sam’s chicken.
T Bruggemann (senior, computer science and physics)
My favorite food from the cafeteria would have to be the soups. They’re really versatile and I like to put crackers in them—two packs. I wait until the crackers are somewhat emulsified and then I eat the soup—I prefer the vegetable, but the others are also good. Although the tomato soup is sometimes a little salty.
Alannah Tjhatra (senior, biochemistry)
I like the spring rolls.
Enlai Wang (senior, biology)
I don’t eat at the cafeteria very much. But when I do eat there, I like the ice cream. Specifically the Mackinac Island Fudge—and specifically the cafeteria version. When I get it from the store, it’s just not the same.
Elizabeth Dovich (junior, communications)
I honestly really like the Sam’s chicken.
Yoel Kim (junior, physics and math studies)
I like to take two cookies and make them into an ice cream sandwich. There is a chain of stores in my home state—it’s called Harris Teeter—and they had these sugar cookies that tasted exactly like the ones at the cafeteria. Those cookies were discontinued a few years back, so it was cool to see them at the cafeteria.
Wesley Martin (senior, physics and computer science)
I like whenever they have jasmine rice and black beans. It has to be the black beans specifically—the ones on the side. That, together with the jasmine rice? Delicious.
Ntakirutimana Francine (sophomore, biology)
This might make people angry, but I really like the Andrews University polenta. Honestly, I didn’t really know that I liked polenta until I started having it here. It just makes me happy.
Isabella Koh (senior, English)
My favorite item is baked potatoes. It’s potatoes, cheese (even though it’s cheddar), sour cream, and scallions—that’s the best of all worlds.
Beatriz Martins (junior, medical laboratory science)
Mashed potatoes and Sam’s chicken, probably. Although, the broccoli cheese soup is also up there.
Abigail Cancel (junior, graphic design)
It seems that there is a wide variety of tastes, with a few consistent favorites here and there. But that is probably no surprise. Sam’s chicken, anyone?
