Yummy, Yummy in my Tummy: a Sodexo Story

With the new academic year underway, Sodexo has brought several positive changes to Georgetown’s cafeteria, including more special food events and improvements on their traditional options.

One improvement is their new pizza. Their specialty pizzas, such as the Mexican, Barbecue and Hawaiian are way more appealing visually and in flavor.

In addition, their pizza now offers a crispier crust with a much soft center. Last but not least, you can get personal pan pizzas at the grill at night.

But this isn’t the only change Sodexo has made with the grill. The hamburger meat is fresh and never frozen, and the beef is hand patted and thicker than before.

The grill is also offering vegan nuggets and strips. The deli has also seen some changes and new additions

to their menu, such as more specialty sandwich options and different breads.

The caf is also offering some new sections to the caf. Now, from 6a.m. until 9a.m., there will be a smoothie bar open for breakfast.

Junior Maddie Long commented, “I think that The Caf has made great impovements over the last couple of years. I really like the the new options they’ve had recently, such as the smoothie bar. I really feel like I am getting a bang for my buck. I love The Caf and they have great usage of marketing this semester.”

Additionally, during the late lunch hours from 2p.m. until 4p.m., there will be a popcorn bar open. The popcorn bar features all-you-can-eat popcorn with various options of flavored popcorn salt to add.

Many returning students may remember the events where different chefs came in and prepared unique, delicious samples. Students could go to any of the several booths to try all the options, and even come back for seconds. Fortunately, the caf will now be hosting these events monthly.

Sodexo is also becoming more interactive with the student body by hosting special events.

For example on National S’Mores Day, there was a mini fire pit in the caf for students to make their own s’mores.

Students around campus are considering The Caf more than just a source of food. Students are viewing The Caf as a community, a place to socialize and do homework.

“While I do appreciate the new changes The would also like to see less use of styrofoam plates, cups, and plastic cutlery,”

says Christine Ryne.

Of course, there is always room for improvement. In the future, it would be nice to see a greater variety of lunch
