BREAKING NEWS: FACULTY EATERY TO CLOSE

An inside source with knowledge of the University of Georgia Food Services empire has confirmed that the Faculty Eatery will close around June 1, 2009. The source said the closing was due to multiple reasons, including persistent financial losses and health code issues. 

The replacement space will be on the fourth floor of the new Tate II center, scheduled to open in 2009. The new eatery will forego the oak paneling and cathedral ceilings in favor of an open floor space. 

The third floor of Tate II will also feature a food court, complete with a Barberitos and an Inoko Express-like stand. 

Fears are already spreading that this will hasten the retirement of Prof. Conrad Fink.

Damn!

Damn!

Damn!

Oh, and Damn!

And will this new and improved location include the always-popular, often-blogged, and never-to-be-doubted lemon bars? If not, we'll march, we'll protest, we'll change our curriculum to include Introduction to Lemonicity and Multimedia Lemonness and Critical Lemonmedia and Lemons in Journalism History (I'm told Yellow Journalism is named so due to the Zen of Lem(on)).

You can't make stuff like that up, so it must be true. Or I've had too much Scotch.

That is a travesty! I am shocked and appalled. I was so looking forward to not enjoying a meal there again. What will become of the blog? Will the new place be called the faculty center. I need more information, people!
