For more than 30 years, Aramark has held its longstanding partnership with Sinclair.
Most of us haven’t been here that long. But if you have been here two, five or more years there is one thing that may have remained pretty constant, the food at Sinclair.
Over the years, the menu hasn’t changed, but Sinclair has made some improvements.
One of the improvements includes a salad bar that offers a nutritious meal for students and fresh fruit to get students eating healthy.
Even with all these healthy options, the one item that students are drawn to is the pizza. It is the only item that is under two dollars, will provide nourishment and is easily accessible if you’re between classes or on a quick work break. But no one wants to eat pizza every day.
With five different locations spread across campus, students really don’t have to go very far to find something quick to snack on.
Lately, going to the cafeteria, Main Street Café and the various food places on campus has become increasingly annoying. Annoying because we go to the Tartan Marketplace expecting to see something tempting, but it’s always the same options as yesterday. With that being said, to us the food has become monotonous.
But there are some students that enjoy the food at Sinclair and like the variety the campus has to offer.
Many students comment that Suzie has the best wraps. Jimmy offers the best Asian food. In Building 10, the Panini’s are delicious.
One thing is for certain, the staff at Aramark, with a few exceptions, is very friendly. Maybe that is what keeps us coming back for another helping.
But with that being said, we’re sure that we all agree that Sinclair needs to add an outside food competitor. We would love for Sinclair to sign a deal with either Chipotle or Five Guys. If so, it may just satisfy the 25,000 plus students craving for a new menu. Just a small investment to keep Sinclair satisfied.
