When one is hungry, they could usually care less about where their food comes from or how much effort goes into making it. Especially as busy college students, we are often so consumed in our schedules, that we prioritize our studies over our eating habits. That said, it is awesome that Cornell Dining has made it their priority to deliver food that is both great-tasting and nutritious.

I was blown away to learn that Cornell Dining serves over 20,000 meals per day. Paul and Chef Daniel’s accounts of the elaborate steps that go into every meal speaks to Cornell Dining’s hard work, effective coordination and professionalism and why it has been consistently ranked one of the top dining systems in the United States. New initiatives to provide more fruits and vegetables and healthy options for those with special food needs are great in that they ensure all students are accommodated and that all students have the opportunity to receive the nutrients they need to be healthy, happy, and successful in their academics.

Having lived on campus for my first three years, I can definitely attest to the top-notch service that Cornell Dining provides. Now that I live off campus, I have a new-found appreciation for Cornell Dining since I must now fend for myself every time I am hungry. I think about Chef Daniel’s cooking every day as I ration out my Cheerios and frozen burritos.
