Spurning UDS

My decision to spurn University Dining Services and all associated snack shops, has proven to be far easier to deal with than expected. Their deal with Aramark and Coca-cola is vaguely evil and stupid, leads to low quality food and disenfranchised workers. Because of that, I've given up on them.

So, if I really want something to eat while at school, I have to walk to a non-UDS affiliated restaurant. I thought this basically meant Dinkytown, or the fast-food nexus of stadium village. Luckily, I was wrong. In fact, I've found a place that beats UDS on quality, price and view.

I work in the Academic Health Center, the School of Dentistry specifically at the U of M. Connected to the AHC is a Fairview Hospital. On the 8th floor of this hospital is a cafeteria, with ridiculously good prices. I spent 1.50 on a salad and drink this afternoon, and was completely, utterly satisfied with it . The view is amazing as well, since it's situate so high up above the river, one can see much of the city, St. Paul and Minneapolis.


I suggest going to this place.
