The Insagram account “Take a Bite out of Annie Wright” was created last year by Green Ties Erin Picken and Sofia Syzonenko. This account was passed down as a senior will to a few anonymous blue ties, and has been active ever since. “Take a Bite out of Annie Wright” delivers an unfiltered and personal review on Annie Wright’s lunch and dinner foods, with a touch of humor in their critiques. Each post contains a picture of the food consumed on that paritcular day, with an explaination of the dish and a rate out of 10. Inkwell had a chance to ask some of our burining questions regarding the dining hall experience:
What constitutes a “good meal”?
We usually like to base it on what we expect from school food. A good meal to me would be something well seasoned, properly cooked, with not too much oil and a good texture.
What is the most popular meal you’ve seen so far this year, and why?
I would say any of the pastas and usually the burgers and pizzas. Some would say this is because these are the meals that are hard to go wrong with. Our personal favorites, are the taco salads and quesadillas. It’s kinda hard for us to tell what the people’s favorite is, because we usually don’t get a lot of feedback. We’re more of a personal opinion account.
What’s something the kitchen staff needs to take off the menu, yet continues to serve?
The fish and chips. I’m not a big fan of the fish, it tastes funny and it seems fake. I feel like we should also limit our pork usage in meals.
What are your opinions on the vegan options offered?
I have to be honest and say I’ve never tried the tofu after all these years in aws, but from what I’ve heard from my friends it can vary a lot, from being really good to really bad, although it’s been on the better side this year. I’ve had the vegetarian option for the days we’ve had shrimp and they were pretty good. I’ve heard some people say they were tired of the vegan/vegetarian options being only tofu, but I feel like they’ve been making a better job at it this year.
What would you like to see done differently when it comes to lunchtime?
I would not serve anything that has any kind of sauce on it over jasmine rice. I would also make the grilled cheese with less oil. I would love to see more fruit options during lunch.
Well there you have it. Thank you to one of the anonymous blue ties behind this account for sharing their personal opinions on the food here at AWS.
