inside Story About
Mac Hall Meals
By EMILY-L. FUNK '43
Behind Mac Hall's dining doors
is a staff of almost a hundred men
who prepare and serve meals. In
the office are Miss Ida M. Parent
and Miss M. Elizabeth Latham whd
plan menus and buy food. Reigning
supreme behind the kitchen steam
table is the chef; his talented
hands, 12 years of Mac Hall ex
perience, and a capable staff en
able him to prepare food for al
most 500 women. Helping him are
an assistant chef, salad man, kit
chen man, and general man who
replaces other employees. Desserts
are prepared by the baker and his
assistant.
Food preparation begins early
in the morning and ends at dinner
with, the help of 60 College men.
Waiters line up before the steam
table and take platters of ,meat
and vegetables to each tables. Sec
onds, beverages, and desserts re
quire return trips when dirty
dishes and silverware are'.placed
in the dish washer.
Fourteen dish washers place
dish4S on a wooden rack, send
them through the washer and rins
er, and then into the hot plate
-heater. Meanwhile, bus bOys serve
waiters, pots and pans are scoured,
and the head waiter completes his
check-up. Potatoes and carrots are
pealed for the next day, coal is in
the baker's oven, waiters set the
tables, and refrigerators and store
rooms are locked.
One hour after the dinner bell,
Miss Parent is ready to lock the
kitchen. To provide more cooking
space and menu , variety, new
equipment was installed last sum
mer. Equipment includes: five
new refrigerators, milk room, fruit
room; meat room, left-over room,
freezing room, four gas ranges,
three deep fat friers, master mixer,
vegetable steamer, two stainless
sinks, two. steam kettles, a batter
mixer, and a baker's table.
No wonder coeds gain weight!
