Food proportions VS Cost

So the new Campus Rec center got this make over and additional gym and such. Much nicer and more spacious. Still overpopulated by dumbfuck frat kids but whatever, thats a different soap box.

Most recently I noticed they have a new restaurant type of thing in there. It is called "Fuel" and they serve things like smoothies and power bars and drinks and have a few options for food. I have only been there twice, both times after fairly strenuous activity so when I happened to stroll on by the Fro Yo thing got my attention. First time I went in, maybe a month ago I ordered a Chocolate & Vanilla Swirl with toppings. It was very good.

Tonight I go back, order the same thing.

Walk up to the counter and some older guy is working, clearly not in college. I assume he must be the owner/manager. He was doing something on his phone when I walked up, but he never put it down. As most of the people who know me, this put me into kill mode. Sorry I have over 6 years of experience in Retail and Sales, please don't make me tell you how to do your job.  Without missing a beat he inputs my order and swipes my card. I'm like "YA! THANKS." It doesn't phase him at all. 

This is what I ordered. 4 dollars and 19 cents. OUTRAGEOUS!

Whatever it is very delicious. 

Please note that this cup is maybe two inches tall and three inches wide.

Paper thin bananas...Bummer. About halfway through this delicious Fro Yo. I was about to take a bite when the person I was with pointed out that one of the bananas was green. I was like, really? Old ass bananas?

So I walk back up to the counter and of course the only two people at the counter are girls. Obviously dumb blonde sorority bitches. I tell one "Ya your bananas are kinds moldy" pointing to the huge blotch of mold on the banana on top. She kind of almost playfully takes it out of my hand and tosses it in the trash behind the counter. WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING she walks over and makes another one then hands it to me. 

Because if the first banana had mold on it, I'm sure the other 100 banana slices wont' have mold on them. It's not like they all sit right next to each other in the counter or anything. Dumb.

This is the second one I got

Size in comparison to some keys

While finishing up this thing, I look over at the counter and they have this beer tap looking thing and a little sign in front of it. While I was to far away to read what it said, the header of the sign was big enough for me to make out "49 cents." Anything on campus that is that cheap I MUST HAVE. 

Walking back up to the counter, there are still only two girls working. Guess I have to make due. Upon further investigation it is a tiny ass cup of water that has some type of bull steroids or some crazy shit stuff in it. They have a few flavors with catchy names like "Ignition" and "Power" and whatever else.  So I order those two flavors. 

They look like normal water. One has a very slight rust colored tint and the other has a blueish hue. 

Well after two big gulps I have a video that depicts me drinking said water:

Yes It did taste much like normal water and I did not feel any form of empowerment from vitamins. 

All in all this little store in the Rec is pretty much a over priced joke. I don't recommend it at all.

Exotic Foods for the Poor College Student

So a friend told me about this exotic taco shop here in town that serves special meats. We talked about how they serve African Lion Meat and what not. At some point in or conversation the thought clicked in my head that I want to try African Lion Meat. Best part is that the restaurant is within walking distance from the university.

From the outside the place looks like a run down drug front kind of store. They have a very small turn in to the parking lot which is behind the restaurant so on the third go around I finally got the correct turn. Right away when I walk in it looks really nice modern place. Although the people working behind the counter were trading stories about how many car jacks they have seen in the next parking lot over (Kinda Sketchy).

It's a Tuesday night and I learn that they only have the "Special Exotic Taco" on Wednesdays. Bummer. Already parked my car and inside the building so I might as well order something.

I was going for Exotic so best thing I saw on the menu was Octopus. Haven't eaten Octopus since I lived in Hawaii (and I hated it back then). So after a certain amount of time I was presented with my Octopus taco and  the rest of the food that I ordered. Here are the pictures.

The presentation was very nice. Octopus taco on the bottom and Steak something on top.

The server brought us 5 different types of Salsa which was very good, 1 mild, 2 hot, 1 super hot, and one chunky thing in a jar but it was good.

Going in for the kill on the steak thing first.

Honestly never liked Octopus but had to down it either way. Was very chewy and weird to eat something that still has suction cups on it.

Overall it was a good experience, I will definitely be going back on a Wednesday to try the Exotic meat.

I suggest everyone try it out at least once!
