Absolutely as long the food tastes good, has lots of variety and healthy.It's no joke that cooking for Thanksgiving is a lot of work. Obviously not high end food, but it gets the job done. I remember going to Furr's quite often with my parents as a treat during the weekends. I have no idea how students get their lunch aside from bagged at home.

Honestly, Millennials are probably the last generation that knows anything about cafeterias especially when they were prevalent in elementary schools during the 1990s. I think that's the main reason we've seen them go out of business over the last decade or so: the demand for that kind of dining isn't much in demand anymore. Seemed to be the older generations who liked that smorgasbord/buffet style, which never caught on very much with the younger crowds. Later on, Luby's became a popular cafeteria during the 1990s, and I remember several locations that were always busy. How could I forget Piccadilly? My family used to go the one at the old Thomas Mall long ago, and it was our favorite dining spot back in the day.
