I Love Ford!

If I could have dinner with anyone in the world, I would want to dine with John and Mary Ford. Actually I would just like to dine at the dining hall that was named after them. And although they probably have nothing to do with how delicious the food is there, they still occupy a place in my heart. For those of you who aren’t aware, Ford Dining Hall is THE BEST dining hall on Purdue’s campus – on any college campus now that I think about it. I happen to live in Owen, which is located right next to Ford Dining Hall. Allow me to give you a short description of why, in my opinion, Ford Dining Hall is the most amazing place in West Lafayette to dine.
I would just like to note right away that although the line at Ford is often way out the door, it happens to be the fastest moving line in Indiana, so please don’t get discouraged. Once inside, you have many food stations including – but not limited too – pizza, Italian, salads, sandwiches, all American, meats, desserts, etc. And this is no usual cafeteria food – I would put money on the fact that the brilliant chefs at Ford could give your own mother a run for her money. It is hard to describe in words how amazing this food is, but let’s just say that it is my main concern when the term ‘Freshman 15’ comes to mind. Not only is the food amazing, but it’s all you can eat! You can sample any and all of the options at any given meal. So for those of you who love food, I can describe it as nothing less than heaven. Ford Dining Hall also features a soft serve ice cream machine conveniently located right by the door, to be sure that no diner should miss out on this delicious dessert.
The one and only downside to Ford is that it isn’t open 24 hours a day! But Ford definitely makes up for this flaw with a lovely feature called On the Go. On the go is open the whole day and features great food choices that are sure to meet any hungry students’ needs. You can just grab 5 items of your choice and be on your way to class… or wherever you choose to go. I plan to continue to check out more of the dining halls as soon as I can tear myself away from Ford and I will be sure to keep you updated on the different sorts of dining at Purdue!
