Aramark Upgrades: What’s the plan?

The food options being served in the union are about to go through some drastic changes. The rumors about removing Louisiana Home Zone and Mexi-Go and replace them with a cajun restaurant. I don’t know about y’all, but I for one am not impressed with this plan. I want real options. Why do we need to add, what I’m sure will just end up being, a lackluster cajun spot to the union?
Why not open up the union to a larger variety of food, so people can experience different cultural flavors. Y’all don’t ever feel like having a gyro, some shawarma, a bowl of pho, or a plate of samosas? I understand cajun food is a part of Louisiana culture, but that doesn’t mean we should overtake the campus with it.
If we open up the union to more diverse food options, we can better cater to our student body as a whole. Some of y’all like to forget that students who are vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, etc. do exist on this campus. They pay the same amount for their meal plan as all of us meat eaters do. They deserve to have access to food that fits their diet too, besides a salad or stir fry. They deserve way more meat-free options. Everybody would benefit from a wider variety. There’s no need to limit our food options on campus to food that you can find literally everywhere else in the state. Cajun food is cool and all, but how about we put that plan in our back pocket and try exploring other options first. Plus, I can go anywhere off this campus to get cajun food. If anything though, Burger King should go.
Burger King should be replaced in the Union with something better or more healthier. Burger King doesn’t simply meet the standards that Chick-Fil-A meets on a daily basis. Burger King should be replaced with Panda Express. Panda Express is a Chinese food place that offers a variety of dishes that students will enjoy
I feel that we should add a Starbucks in the union as well. Starbucks would be great and essential to students in the morning, and throughout the day. Starbucks offers a variety of things such as coffee and smoothies, as well as muffins and breakfast sandwiches to get your day started. Although we already have a coffee shop in the library, I feel that this would be better than Java City.
We should have a place specifically for wings put in the Union. A wing place, such as American Deli would be great for the student body. This would be a great place on campus because college students love wings. American Deli also offers things such as philly cheesesteaks and fried fish.
The union is a great place for students to socialize and hangout. The food places that are currently in the union can be improved though. With new and improved places, students will not have to spend money on one place, they’ll have a variety of places that they’ll be eager to choose from.
