<p>I think that Berkeley, like other public schools, earned a very bad reputation for food/competitiveness/etc back in the early days-when schools like the School Across the Bay were serving fillet mignon and Cal had “chicken.” Even back in the 1990’s, I remember eating at Foothill and not being impressed-and little children are easily impressed. </p>
<p>But now, with this new culinary expert-most likely hired in order to ameliorate this bad reputation-it seems as though Berkeley has began to improve its menu. Perhaps one day it shall be rated as high as other local schools <em>cough</em> <em>cough</em>.</p>
