We deserve a StratCaf with more and better options. There’s plenty of space for at least a few convenience store style beverage and food machines. How about extended hours on session days? An email address for feedback (to an official working above cafeteria staff) that is active and responsive? A Go-Fund-Me to replace the tiny current grill? This is crazy, but what if a website existed with daily menus, special items, etc. for the Stratton and Howlett cafeterias? Somebody talk me down.

That must mean they make a mean quesadilla (banned punctuation.)

To be fair the quesadilla is a famously difficult item to make /s

“If none of you wanted quesadillas, we would continue to offer them.”

I guess there IS a limit on how many times you say “case-a-dilla’ before cafeteria workers revolt.

I am equal parts “How small is the Stratton griddle?” and “How many quesadillas are you people ordering?”

How about a grilled cheese made with a tortilla?

I’d like to order a grilled cheese. But instead of bread, I’d like a tortilla. Thanks

@Streator Curmudgeon for the win. Crepes, hehe.
