A Gourmet Salad from Orange's Finest.

Eaten at 'Francoli's Gourmet' Authentic Italian Northern Cuisine, I  enjoyed the earthy and natural flavors to this impeccable[and not too pricey for great quality] salad. *Photo Credit: Annie Green[myself.]

Initiation: Feast of Roses

A deliciously rich Devil's food cake combined with fluffy chocolate whipped frosting and a layer of dark chocolate cream spread across the top of each slice. Complimented by a freshly picked raspberry, the cake will melt in your mouth and melt your soul into a sweet blissful abyss. *Baked by Sodexo

A Harvest salad equipped with fresh berries, spinach, candied walnuts, purple onions, and topped by crumbled feta cheese. A palette cleanser, or great beginning to a gourmet meal, this salad was a lovely addition to a Winter themed dinner. 

Pesto Palooza! Sodexo provided us a creamy pesto blanketed penne pasta with roasted red bell peppers, squares of grated Parmesan cheese, and a sprig of basil.

The Infamous Nut Loaf"

When residents enter the Cafeteria on Chapman’s campus, I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t acknowledge the Vegan option when they cook, “The Nut Loaf.” All I can say, is their loss. Their sad, sad loss. The Nut Loaf, essentially the meatless version of meatloaf with a delectable gravy, steamed vegetables and brown rice is unbelievably delicious. I undoubtedly will say this is my favorite item in the cafeteria. Made with walnuts, mushrooms, onions, and a crisp outer layer cooked to perfection is mouthwatering without even taking a bite. A hearty well-balanced meal, the Nut Loaf will be missed when I move off campus next Fall.


I HIGHLY recommend the Nut Loaf. Please at least sample it-you will never disregard its presence when it is on the menu again. Adventure with your palette. You won’t be disappointed.
