I'll have the botchulism burger please

The regular grill guy is still on vacation, but he seems to have trained his assistant well. I had the grill special today in the cafeteria - it was a meatball sub more or less.

While GrillBoy was grilling my roll, a guy came up behind me in line. He asked for a hamburger. GrillBoy went back to the refrigerator and pulled out a patty and threw it on the grill, then proceeded to take my roll off the grill, with the same gloved hand he had just touched the burger with.

No way! I can just about feel the e-coli coming on now!

You say tomato...

Ok, it's true. I am always ragging on the food at the cafeteria, but it's never without good reason. My tuna melt the other day didn't have any melt (cheese). When I commented on it, the grill guy gave me a "what's wrong, that's how it's supposed to be" look. "Yellow, white, or none?" are the typical cheese choices.

The salad bar at the cafeteria had this to offer today:


I can understand not finding the most flavorful tomatoes; it is winter afterall. And I'm all for eating locally grown produce, and not trucking fruits and vegetables all over the country, but this poor tomato looks like the vegetable (ok, tomatoes are fruits) equivalent of "robbing the cradle."
