Mr. Michael Wilson deserves a round of applause before he serves the final lunch in June. Mr. Wilson, a professional cake chef, a high school basketball coach, and part-time caterer, has put in three years of long hours and hard work in an effort to revamp the “Governor’s Grille.”
Yet despite his many efforts, most notably the introduction of an electronic “cash card reader” which was designed to expedite the lunch line, Mr. Wilson will not be returning next year. In January we knew that times were tough when Mr. Wilson’s breakfast stopped being served each morning. Now with the announcement that Mr. Wilson will not be returning due to an inability to make enough profit, no one really knows what the future holds for the MLWGS cafeteria.
What makes “making a profit” in the MLWGS cafeteria so difficult is the relatively small size of the school coupled with an unreasonable expectation by students and teachers that our lunchtime fare should be some sort of “haute cuisine.” The odds are that next year’s food service provider will not be able to measure up to Mr. Wilson’s cooking. Maybe it will take several doses of “mystery meat” to make us really appreciate what we’re losing.
