| - When I saw that ASU had decided to put in a hotdog stand within sight of my office window, I became concerned for my arteries. Luckily, however, they also put in E2. E2, I believe, means the second incarnation of the Engrained restaurant in ASU's MU building, which focuses on local and organic healthy foods. E2 takes up the same mantra, but offers less (due to its size and focus on speed).
In the what has become my crisis of conscience corner, I have reluctantly chosen E2 over the hotdog place every time. Devil be damned.
I'm afraid that the food at E2 isn't all that stellar however. I have enjoyed the morning yogurt, but they do over sweeten it a bit. That's not to my taste, but they will probably sell a ton of it to frappachino types. The sandwiches I've had have been premade, making the bread a bad texture from refrigeration and the bottom layer always soggy from the dressing they use. The drinks here are great, as are the pastries. The green tea is delicious and keeps me going for hours.
4 stars because I applaud the attempt to make campus healthier, but not 5 because I feel like the menu design is all talk and not actually tested on a daily basis.
