It is.

It's all good. I honestly haven't started eating there frequently until I worked there because it's stupidly expensive. I still question the idiots who buy a classic grilled cheese and/or a peanut butter and jelly (and the bagged pasta...). There's been a buttload of updates lately and they actually follow seasonal recipes unlike some restaurants (it keeps costs down and it's actually better for you, the customer; managers are allowed to shop at nearby groceries to get stuff that ran out).

>seasonal soups and salads
(i.e.: lemon chicken orezo - essentially an Italian wedding soup)
>flat-bread sandwiches
(a bitch and a half to make, but tasty)
>new drinks
(We were supposed to get a peanut butter smoothie, but corporate was stupid to recall it as soon as they released it)


Hm. I wonder if anyone would be interested in a blog (probably a tumblr account) where I suggest new recipes and pro-tips. I know that there's a blog somewhere that lists recipes to make their food at home, but I don't know how updated it is since there were old recipes (baked goods and otherwise) from before I worked there. I only plan on working there until December unless I can't find a big kid job after graduation or I need extra dough, so I don't know how well I can keep something like that up.
