"I would like to suggest that you make bacon bits an option at the salad bar. And I think you should have cut up chicken as an option at the salad bar, similar to the little cups that you have available in the cooler."

Other than tuna, the salad bar is usually stocked only with vegetarian items. This is not just a matter of cost, but also because of the shared untensils (some customers don't eat pork or poultry, nor do they want to use untensils that come in contact with them).

You may visit the sandwich station, where we will be happy to give you a chicken breast and/or bacon to add to your salad (there is an extra cost).

"I have been enjoying soups at the Marketplace since my freshman year.  Sometimes they were hit and miss with the saltiness, but over all they were very good, especially chowders and lentil.  Since my return as a junior, I have be consistantly disappointed with the over all product, it's not a salt problem this time.  They just taste like water.

I had given up hope until I reluctantly gave the broccoli cheddar a try yesterday and discovered why I love Marketplace soup all the  time.  I don't know what happen, but keep up the good work!! "

Some of our cooks have changed assignments this fall, and staff members are getting used to new routines and unfamiliar recipes. We're on top of it, and appreciate your support during the transition. We're glad you liked the broccoli cheddar and look forward to your future satisfaction!

"I really enjoyed the specialty salads recently! Especially the one with seaweed, and the lentil watermelon and asparagus eggplant ones served with spinach!"

Thanks for letting us know - we'll serve those again. Check out Oxy Dining on Twitter to get daily updates of what we're serving for the specialty salads!

 "Homestyle lunch and dinner on Wednesday the 5th were both awesome, especially the gnocchi! Please make it again soon!"

We've passed your request on to the chefs for the creole tilapia as well as the gnocchi- thank you!
