Sodexho brunch to return on Sunday

    Sunday brunch at Sodexho will resume in full swing on Sept. 10, much to GCSU students’ relief.  Sunday brunch is a favorite among students, and the temporary brunch food just has not been cutting it for students. 
    On a typical Sunday, Sodexho opened at 11 a.m. and had special tables set up serving both breakfast and lunch.  Some of the menu favorites included fried chicken, macaroni and cheese and a large dessert table, none of which were served during the week.
    Because of Labor Day weekend, the Sodexho staff decided to wait and start serving brunch after the holiday because so many students go home for the long weekend.  But the wait has been long and not so pleasant for some students. 
    Andrea Johnson, a sophomore music therapy major, said “It’s kind of a

shame that they haven’t been having Sunday brunch because the upperclassmen have been telling the freshmen all about Sunday brunch; then, they come in and it’s just like every other meal of the week.”
    Johnson said Sunday brunch is her favorite meal of the week.  She said she also likes it because students are not the only ones who come.
    “People from the community would come in.  It made it more of a community event instead of just school-wide.”
    Kayla Peavy, a sophomore fine arts major and a Resident Assistant for Napier Hall, said that she missed Sunday brunch as well. 
    “That’s kind of a bummer because that’s the best thing they served.”
    Peavy said she liked Sunday brunch because it allowed her to stay up late and sleep late but also get a good breakfast. 
    “We like to hang out [at Sodexho] all day with friends and compare stories from the night before,” she said.
    Peavy said her favorite menu item was the macaroni and cheese with a side of bacon. 
    “I love Sunday brunch because you can get a plate for lunch and a plate for breakfast,” she said.
    Despite fears that Sunday brunch was doomed to end, it will recommence this Sunday.  Sodexho Head Chef Louis Piassick said that once it resumes, Sunday brunch will be the same as always, with a few exceptions.
    Among the menu entrees will be the favorite fried chicken, various carved meats, vegetables, and the usual breakfast items.  The only difference will be that the entrees could possibly be rotated out on a weekly basis.
    “We’re playing with ideas,” Piassick said.  “It’s nice, but repetitious.”
    Piassick also said that Sodexho welcomes menu suggestions.  By simply filling out a comment card located in Sodexho, students can make their opinions known.   
    Emmanuel Little, a mass communication major, is a regular at Sodexho.  He ate Sunday brunch the past two weeks, but was not entirely satisfied. 
    “It’s ok,” he said.  “Normally it tastes decent.  I don’t think they’ve gotten into full swing.”
    Little said his favorite Sunday brunch menu items include scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns and biscuits.
    “Everything tastes better during brunch,” he said. 
    He said he did not mind waiting until Sept. 10 to get a better brunch.  “As long as they have brunch, that’s cool with me,” he said.
