Restaurant/Food
Establishment-Specific Notes
a. We received good, friendly service and were seated at a
nice corner table.
b. The group was impressed overall by the quality and variety
of the buffet-style brunch. We
especially enjoyed the omelet station and the mini waffles! Though, it was noted that there could have
been more light and/or vegetarian options available. The menu was quite heavy and there was a lot
of meat.
c. Best desserts:
Bread Pudding and White Chocolate Mousse

New

a. We officially have a Facebook group for The
Foodventurers! Use it. Use it often.
b. The idea of having an official Foodventurers t-shirt
has been proposed and Lindsey has started playing around with some concepts on

discuss ideas for the shirt design – things like t-shirt color, potential logo,
names or nicknames on the back, etc.

update on her new life at Michigan State University’s Counseling Center in
