Not only is Eden Hall packed with all sorts of blooming opportunities, it already has a fantastic meal system. Eating lunch on this small campus is a whole other experience. It is not as mass produced, like on the main campus; which, for reasons unknown, this adds to the flavor. Not only that, but students and faculty are able to form friendly relationships with the cooking staff. The head chef is not a scary man behind closed doors, he is open to conversation and jokes. Along with the other hard working employees in the kitchen, the line is changed from server-to-servee, to friendly joker-to-hungry student who dishes it back. The environment is fun and easy to be comfortable in. And guess what? If you’re really hungry for something that is not on the menu that day, the lovely chefs will whip it up for you.  
 
Take, for example, the meal I most recently enjoyed at Eden Hall. It consisted of tofu and sweet potato stew, served over mushroom rice pilaf, with a side of seasoned zucchini and squash. I sided this with a slice of whole grain bread and green tea. If your mouth isn’t already watering, there is also always an open sandwich and salad bar. Eden Hall caters to the herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. The food is always fresh and local, and sometimes sourced directly from the campus. You will never leave this all-you-can-eat buffet hungry or unsatisfied. The rumors ARE true; the food is tremendous at Eden Hall! If you haven’t already, you really need to get out there to check it out. It is definitely a key part of this new Chatham experience.
