The Food

The food here at McMurdo has a couple of good things going for it.  One, it is buffet style for every meal, and two, you can eat as much as you want.  They tend to have a pretty good variety of food each day to choose from and they always have a couple of different meat choices, which is good.  They even had pizza one night, and although it wasn’t the greatest, I can’t really complain.  Although the food isn’t the highest quality, it’s not bad and I have always been able to find something that works.  I’m pretty sure that the overall goal of Raytheon is to try and keep their employees fat and happy.  The best part of the food is probably the dessert selection and they even have a “frosty girl” frozen yogurt machine, which is awesome.  Every Thursday at break time the kitchen serves all you can eat honey butter biscuits.  In fact we are encouraged to eat a lot because your body tends to burn a lot of calories just trying to stay warm.  So for now, I will continue to go for seconds and/or thirds, and when I get home I will probably head straight to the Philadelphian, and pick up a cheese steak sandwich and some onion rings…cant wait.
