The Sage of Discovery

Yesterday, the Chicago Tribune posted a list of Top 10 college cafeteria favorites. The list was compiled from a survey by Sodexo, a company providing food service to roughly 600 campuses nationwide.

Restaurants and Institutions posted a corresponding list of college food trends, an eye-opening comparison of new crazes in 2009 vs. 1989. Having been in college in 1999, I would say that the typical fare was closer to the 1989 end.

Along with the top picks and general food trends, the survey turned up some additional surprising finds, including a University of Illinois craze for kimchi? Apparently it’s a good topper on a Chicago dog…
