A Confession

I'm going to start this blog with a confession: despite having worked at Stanford for going on four years, and despite buying my lunch nearly every day, I rarely venture beyond my comfort zone to explore the full range of food options on campus. And by "comfort zone" I mean the Graduate School of Business Cafe, also known as the Arbuckle Dining Pavilion. As is obvious from the noon lines at the sushi station and the salad bar, this is not exactly one of the best-kept secrets of the Stanford dining landscape.

I'm hoping that writing a blog about food at Stanford will motivate me to get out and try new things. If nothing else, it will give me a place to share exciting news such as the discovery that Coupa GSB and Coupa Green Library now carry nine different flavors of gelato bars.

And also to share things like this:

The GSB cafe likes to get creative with its weekly pizza specials. Lots of fusion pizzas on offer (Mexican, Indian, etc.) But never before had I seen what confronted me on Monday at the pizza station: pizza topped with pasta and meatballs. I can't decide if this is very, very awesome or very, very wrong.
