This is macaroni and cheese topped with ground beef bacon and raw onions. This was a big disappointment. The onions were way to intense and overpowered everything. I'm glad I got to taste the mac and cheese first, because after that it was hard to taste anything. It needed salt, wasn't bad. The onions killed this, so there isn't much to say but avoid the onions.

Ive always walked by these dumplings, thought about getting them but never did. Well I did! I was really impressed with these. They weren't waterlogged or tough, just chewy enough. The filling was pork and scallion executed perfectly. Best of all they weren't mouth scalding hot, just perfectly warm. Really delightful! To top that, they were served with what seemed like a sweet and sour sauce with hot peppers. It intensified the flavor of the filling and made the scallions more apparent.
An egg roll just because. A bit chewy but the inside was nice. Very simple strands that didn't get caught in my teeth. Its an egg roll nothing too out of the park but done well.

So I go to the union a lot, wanna fight about it?! They recently started serving breakfast sandwiches, so I had to try them out. This was really great, bacon, egg and pepper jack cheese. The eggs were cooked wide and flat and then stacked up, not over cooked at all. The cheese melted, almost in a grilled cheese kind of way that stuck to the roof of your mouth in a good way. As for the bacon well....
ITS CIRCULAR! I found this bizarre and yet it worked. It stayed in the sandwich and didn't all come out after I took a bite. Overall this is something i can get for breakfast once and a while.

PLATE 1:Sausage, Potatoes, Scrambled eggs, Cinnamon bun, smoked salmon, cous cous and blueberry french toast.
This was my starting plate, i wanted to hit it hard. The potatoes were nicely seasoned and were hot. A bit of heat on them would of been nice but these were pretty good. The eggs were cold, blegh. Cinnamon bun was toasty and sticky, loved it. Salmon was a bit meh, didn't really care for it. Couscous was a big hit with me, i liked how everything was really finley diced. lastly the french toast was really great, but waaay too much cream cheese. A little less and it would of been perfect. Oh yeah the sausage was standard, Next up.
PLATE 2: A BAGEL!, Cheese danish, wheat crackers, cole slaw, more potatoes (they were good!), a bit of cheese and some herb cream cheese.
This one took it a bit lighter. The danish was okay, a bit stale. The cole slaw was interesting, it was like pasta. It was really long strands with a thick sauce, really odd but good. The cream cheese was really refreshing, i love stuff like this. Little bits of chive to liven it up a bit. I'm getting a bit full at this point.

PLATE 3: Ham and cheese omelet.
Now were talking, omelet station. It was cooked perfectly, fluffy and a little runny. not too much on the inside. It was a nice way to finish the brunch up. An omelet in true form.

JUST TURKEY. Yeah I wasn't that hungry so I just got turkey. It was pretty good, though it was kinda like deli turkey warmed up . It was decent and it made me sleepy. That is all.

One night after a particularly long calculus lecture i was starving. One sandwich wasn't gonna cut it i needed more. I winced at the thought of a chicken parmigiana hero from here, i was dead wrong. This was comparable to something in a pizzeria. Nice hearty toasted bread and hot meaty cutlets. The sauce and cheese wasn't too great but honestly Ive had worse from pizzerias. Nice and hearty this filled me up.
LOCATION: Union
Breakfast again, this time is a breakfast burrito. I liked this much better then the other breakfast sandwich. Eggs sausage and salsa, and there was plenty of it! Nice hearty breakfast, pretty much the sandwich but better.
I keep eating so you don't have to!
