Best Campus Food
Two Chicago area colleges are in the Daily Beast's list of of the best campus food. Wheaton College's cafeteria, which under Klaus Mandl, an Austrian chef who preferred to call the dining hall an "in-house restaurant," was rated best in the nation by the Princeton Review. Mandl has moved on, but the cafeteria still buys local and turns out dishes like pork loin with dulce picanta salsa and wheatberry pilaf. Illinois Institute of Technology also made the list, partly for the Rem Koolhaas-designed campus center and partly for the dining options, which include a trayless cafeteria, a food court and a sit-down restaurant offering an inside out BLT or a chicken breast grilled with cilantro and tequila.
