The rumors were true... there were real, whole lobsters waiting for Wheaton College students to crack open on the night of September 21st, 2016 in Chase dining hall. I first found out about Lobster night at chase dining hall when I saw the promotion on the schedule for special events. I never thought that they would actually provide enough whole lobsters for every student at Wheaton. I figured that they would probably just have food that had some lobster in it. Something like lobster rolls or maybe lobster mac and cheese. I was very surprised when I walked into Chase and saw the abundant number of Lobsters ready to be eaten.
Even when I saw the Lobsters in front of my eyes I was still skeptical of whether they were actually going to be good. How good could they be if they were coming from our college dining hall? I asked around to some friends that were diving into their lobsters and they seemed to be enjoying them and said they approved! I decided to give it a shot. I got my plate and filled it with a lobster, some butter, a lemon, and went to see for myself how it was actually going to taste. I was impressed by how good the lobster actually was!

I will say that last year I heard many complaints about the Wheaton College dining services and its head, John Bragle. I was surprised to come back to school this year to find that we had a new head of dining services, Scott O'Rourke. So far I, along with many of my peers, have seen a change and improvement in the everyday food, as well as the special events that we have had in our dining halls so far this semester. I think the dining services are doing a great job so far, and I hope it continues to get even better! I would never have thought there would be lobsters served in our dining halls. I wonder what they will think of next!
I couldn't believe it until my daughter sent me a picture. I'm glad you got to have some.
ReplyDeleteWow this sounds awesome! Buying lobsters for a family is expensive enough but for a whole campus is truly incredible. Tokens of appreciation such as these certainly say quite a bit about the service Wheaton is hoping to provide for its students. Wheaton could certainly save thousands of dollars on its food budget by not having Lobster night, but the fact that they provide it demonstrates a lack of shellfishness and shows that they believe in giving back to the Wheaton community.
