LOQation’s coverage on the new Mindful station in Cav’s Corner
Cabrini dining is making major steps into improving the quality and quantity of the food selections in the cafeteria. Many food choices are available for students to receive and enjoy all throughout the day.
While the mixed reviews on the food spin out around campus, there has been something missing. The vegetarian station in the cafeteria is now replaced with the “Mindful” section, which offers healthy selections that often times contain meat.
Chef Rodney Stockett, executive chef of the college, explains the changes of the new cafeteria options. “The
issue with the vegetarian station before it was Mindful, is that no one was utilizing it. So now we’ve made changes so that if people want vegetarian options, each station has those options.”
“50 percent of the time the Mindful station will offer options,” Stockett, said.
“For example with the pasta, we’ll have an option of meat sauce and white sauce containing no meat. Or we’ll have marinara sauce and meatballs, but the meatballs will be on the side of the marinara for those who choose that they would prefer marinara only,” Stockett said.
“I never really noticed a vegetarian section in the cafeteria, but I do believe they should have something as an alternative for those of the student and faculty population that do not eat meat,” Brendan Logue, junior communication major, said.
With the new changes of the cafeteria forming, students are forced to adapt to the changes. Changes include more meal selections and more quality items. The reason for all these changes, especially for the vegetarian station is that so vegetarian options can be offered at every station in the cafeteria.

The Sodexo crew is working hard to accommodate all of its customers of students and faculty. Many changes are coming to the cafeteria so that healthy options are presented when you walk into the cafeteria.
“We offer vegetarian options through out the cafeteria,” Chef Rodney said.
