| - What a great hospital cafeteria! Almost everything is labeled with nutritional information, and the entrees on offer are fairly health-conscious, so you really have to try to eat poorly here (i.e. go to the grill line). For example, I had an entree of chicken penne with mushroom sauce and a side of pesto roasted cauliflower for ~450 calories.
Everything is also extremely inexpensive. A milk carton is $0.75, entrees are $3-4, and sides are $1. The brand name items, like Haagen-Dazs ice cream bars and Sabra hummus, are a bit more expensive, but still cheaper than a convenience store. A full meal couldn't possibly cost more than $7.
For breakfast, the cafeteria serves oatmeal with toppings, fresh fruit, cottage cheese, eggs, grits, bacon, sausage, and biscuits with gravy. The deli (made to order sandwiches), salad bar, and grill open at 11am for lunch. Lunch ends at 3, but the grill stays open through dinner. It's nice that the cafeteria doesn't close up completely between meals like at some hospitals!
My only complaint is that I wish they had more yogurt options available. It's the only healthy choice that isn't abundant here!
While I wouldn't purposely check yourself in to partake of the food, this cafeteria reflects the quality of the hospital as a whole.
