8,000 pieces of grilled chicken

So we are presenting our projects in class, and the Chef says this remarkable statement of, "8,000 pieces of grilled chicken each week," and there is a dramatic pause, and then the electricity goes out. As I sat there in the dark pondering my contribution to the statistic, I thought back to the good old home days when I was basically a vegetarian aside from the after school trips to QT to get a Tabasco Slim Jim fix. Oh how the tables have turned, how the chicken have been executed, how the charred protein has made its way into my stomach. Sickening thought as I remembered once driving past a truck full of Tyson chicken, their feathers trailing behind in their terrible stench. Gross. Back to the more appetizing facts...


According to the Caf Chef, students consume an average of 8,000 pieces of grilled chicken a week.

Taking into consideration that I have an average of four, that may very well be true. And what happens when the projected amount is not consumed? Well folks, we get Chicken Waldorf Salad. Apparently, the chicken is "cooled down in the right way" and is put to other uses. Sometimes it is even donated to other places.

I'm on my second piece of grilled chicken for the week, but if I don't eat my other two pieces, I'll be getting my preferred Chicken Waldorf Salad SOON, though not two pieces worth of salad.
But I'd have the Waldorf over Grill any day.

Although, I do like cutting the grilled chicken and putting it in a tortilla with spinach leaves and ranch dressing as a wrap. - just a caf creation idea for you...


The Chef promised the chicken with the bacon on top for tonight's dinner. We will see if this happens...
