Very true - and there's basically squat all to eat around here. The closest is a Wendy's five minutes away, and there's an overpriced diner across the street from that, both of which you need to drive to. So really, there's no where else to go here for food.
The cook here started about 6 months ago, apparently, and is universally reviled by the employees, as far as I can tell. I hear they had an *incredible* cook before that, who then left to start her own restaurant, naturally. But this guy? He knows about a dozen dishes, none of them done well, but all of them repeated. Nothing has flavor, or if it does, it's not good. Textures are universally mush. Yesterday I got a *splinter* in my *gum*... from steamed broccoli. No, it wasn't wood, it was the broccoli, that's how low grade the ingredients are.
I'm bringing more food from home now. Incentive (other than health and comfort): I was spending about $8-11 a day on coffee and food. I pegged the avg at about $10. Every day I spend less than that, I take the balance and apply it to the Wii Fund. :)
