College dining can get boring easily. Itās pretty much a fact at this point. There are only so many food combinations you can make before you get bored with them, once again. However, Hoover has some pretty fantastic food options if you take a couple more minutes to look around the dining hall. Even coming at earlier or later times makes a big difference in how your meals look. Here are a couple of amazing foods you can get at Hoover.
Hoover Breakfast
I know I said I would only pick a couple of specific foods, but I canāt downgrade Hoover’s breakfast like that. Literally all of the breakfast options are amazing, and I canāt get enough of them. They were my saving grace in my first year at DePauw. From the tater tots to the French toast to the amazing pancakes, I was always excited to eat breakfast. Lunch and dinner could get boring, but never breakfast. If youāve never gotten breakfast here, or you’re not a breakfast person, give Hoover breakfast a shot! Youāre going to love it.
Cheese Quesadillas
These were a rare sight to behold at Hoover. Usually sold late at night, they rarely appear during the day. I remember one time they were made during lunchtime, and I grabbed three because they are so good! You have to get late-night at least once to experience the goodness of these quesadillas! I donāt know why they are so good, but something about them makes me want them every single day. Iām not joking, these are prized possessions and should be taken (and eaten) seriously.
Sandwiches
Iām not talking about the wraps they give you, Iām talking about the good-old-fashioned make them yourself at the sandwich bar! They have tons of bread, meat, and vegetable options, as well as different dressings to choose from. Whenever I couldnāt find anything āgoodā at the other stations, I would immediately come to the sandwich bar and make my own. Occasionally, they will have a panini press there too, which spices up your options! They also have potato chips for a side, which is a huge plus. If you ever need a break from the norm at Hoover, this is where you should go!!
Mashed Potatoes
Okay, because why are these so good?! These never get old for me and they always are somewhat different each time they are served. The mashed potatoes are top tier at Hoover and are perfect with chicken or a burger on the side. Never underestimate the power of this side dish. They always have me coming back for seconds like thereās no tomorrow (it’s not just me right?) I know they are served multiple times a week, but donāt abuse this advantage! They are amazing! Itās a mash made in heaven! ;)
In all, these are the best meals to eat at Hoover. There are many more amazing food options there, but these have to be my all time favorites. The fries are pretty good too, but I wanted to get a little more creative. Thatās all for now, go check out these delicious options!
