Fear of the Unknown


More than likely, as you have made your rounds about the Mabee Dining Hall, you have passed the Sushi Line once or twice, felt a tad bit daunted, and then turned the other way. Perhaps the idea of raw fish sliding down your throat had you slightly less than excited, or even slightly terrified. So you quickly ran to the safest food line you could find- the Home Zone perhaps with its lasagna or grilled chicken. However, next time before you bolt in the other direction, take a second glance at the Sushi line. There may be something more there than you think.
In fact, sushi is the least popular food item coming out of the Sushi line. Almost on a daily basis, this line serves up some sort of Asian meat entree with a side of white rice. In addition, you always have to option to add on as many eggrolls and crab rangoons as you would like. Meat entrĂ©es vary from Asian dishes as familiar as teriyaki chicken to dishes as foreign-sounding as “Yum-Yum” chicken. The best part is that you can watch it all being made by hand right behind the counter, so you know it’s fresh. On the day of my visit to the Sushi Line, they were serving up Sesame Chicken, sweet and tangy sauce-covered chicken on kabobs served over a bed of white rice and topped with sesame seeds. With the addition of one of my favorite egg roles, this dish sure did hit the spot. So next time you see the word Sushi and want to run in the other direction, give the good ‘ole Sushi Line a second chance. It may just be a little less scary than you think.
