When I first started my job, I was pleased to discover that there was a cafeteria in the building. It was Fine, but not stellar. They had a decent salad bar, some fun sandwich wraps, an occasional vegetarian entree amongst the one or two that they served daily, and a rare vegetarian soup from the one daily selection. And the people who worked there were very, very nice.
A few weeks ago, the cafeteria closed with a promise of reopening soon. Today was the big day. With some fear that things would get even worse, I went to purchase lunch and discovered that the company that had taken over was ... Rebecca's, one of the best concerns going.
If today is any indication, they will have four or five soups daily, one of which will be vegetarian. Three or four entrees daily, of which one will be vegetarian. An attractive and interesting salad bar. Baked goods that I'll need to exercise extreme discretion around. Food that appeals to a wide range of eaters, from plain to fancy, packaged to fresh. Sandwiches and fried and grilled goods.
This is a cafeteria that I hope stays in the building for a while. This is a cafeteria that can actually attract new tenants, and please existing ones.
(Oh yes. For lunch today, I had polenta with melted cheese, cooked mushrooms, fresh tomatoes, and artichokes on top. Yum.)
