Greetings from Chartwells!
We hope you’re having a swell school year.

You might have noticed some changes in Jack Kane Cafeteria
this year. 2014 has been the start of some new features. I work for Chartwells, so I will note a few of them:
Hours have been extended for dinner Monday through Friday.
We’re open until 7 instead of 6:45.
We have a new line for made-to-order personal pizzas. All sauces and toppings are available upon
request.
There is a new station called “ballpark entrée’s”, which will typically offer fried food. Ballpark line
is replacing the potato bar, and is located right next to the wrap line.
What I'd like to blog about today are the themed dinners.
For those of you who are new to WSU, Chatwells does themed dinners routinely, featuring fun food, and many times, fun decorations. The various lines for food will offer different food during a themed dinner, but a few lines go unchanged, like sandwich and wrap/omelet line. We usually hold at least one a month, and we've already had one themed dinner.
On September 24th, we had "State Fair Food" as our theme.
These special dinners are very fun, but they can get very crowed. Peak hours are usually between 5 and 5:30 p.m. The lines can get really long, so if you want to avoid the rush, you might want to arrive when the doors open at 4:30. After about 6:15 or so, the traffic really dies down. Keep in mind, you may not be able to use a to-go box for these events (for the Holidazzle dinner in December, you for sure won't be able to use a box) so plan accordingly.

| We brought in sno-cone and popcorn machines. And many red-striped tablecloths. |
 |
| Mini-Corn dogs and cheese curds over here! I don't actually like fried food very much, but I tried some during my break. They were actually pretty good! |

| From the left: Kimchi, Salad on a stick (thankfully not deep fried!) |
 |
| We had barbeque pork kabobs, corn on the cob, and fries. Best part about paper utensils? Fewer dishes to wash! |

On Halloween, we will be offering a cookie-decorating
station complete with frosting and sprinkles.
Sprinkles make everything better, don't they?
On Halloween, you might see many of us employees dressed up. I can promise you I will be.

I started working for Chartwells in the fall of 2012. This was the first costume I wore:
 | |
| On the left, I was Snow White. Too bad I don't have a full-body shot! |
And in 2013, I was the white swan...
 |
| Ever found a hair in your food? It's pretty gross, so I had to be careful not to let anyone find a feather in their food. |
Stay tuned for a post in the nearby future about the schedule of themed dinners for the rest of the semester!
