So, this is the cafeteria/cafe inside Emory University Hospital- Midtown.
Well, the food LOOKS great, and it's priced well, but oh wow- it tastes AWFUL.
The hot dogs TASTE boiled. I mean, it's one thing to be boiled, but it shouldn't TASTE boiled. The chopped BBQ was so dry that the cook had to ask a helper to bring over the big gallon jug of sauce to pour in the serving dish with the dry meat because, "we can't serve that"! The sweet potato souffle looked delicious and tasted like medicine (well, it IS a hospital cafeteria), and the macaroni and cheese was ok.
Poor Darlene, the stand in cashier, was about to short a fuse over $.50, because apparently I had gotten cold fries with the two boiled hot dogs, which made it count as an entree and a vegetable, and now the two sides (mac/cheese and sweet potatoes) were going to cost $1.25 instead of $.99 like the sign said(?). When I suggested leaving it all there, she decided to get on the mic and call Miss Peggy, the team lead, to come over and handle the emergency that was now backing up the lunch line. Miss Peggy, in true heroine fashion, said don't worry about it, sent me on my way, said they should make the signage clearer and all was well once again at the Emory cafe.
Moral: good people, good prices, good looking food, it just TASTES really bad. read more
