Right before break, I journeyed across College over to The Deli to sample their cuisine.  Journey sees like a bit of an exaggeration seeing as I did not have to walk much farther than across the street.  That night my friend and I were starving and the dining halls were already closed.  She recommended that we give The Deli a try.  While neither of us had eaten there before, her older sister, also a Penn State student, recommended it as a great place to get a traditional sit down dinner.  Don’t get me wrong, I love my food fast.  Often, speed is a necessity especially when I only have so much time between my classes.  Although I usually find myself fast walking across campus to make it to class on time, this Saturday night was one of the rare moments when I had the time to expense on a relaxing dinner.

I remember being surprised that when we arrived that there was no line.  Once seated, our waiter confirmed that business was unusually slow for a Saturday night.  The slow night meant that our service was especially attentive and that the food arrived even faster than usual.  After scanning the menu, I settled on the mac and cheese.  It was made with countless different cheeses and a stick-to-your-ribs meal of mac and cheese was just what I was craving.

The mac and cheese at The Deli was hardly a disappointment.  It was ridiculously creamy.  The cheese combination turned the meal into a melty, delicious masterpiece of macaroni and cheese.  It definitely ranks among some of my favorite mac and cheese dishes of all time which is fairly impressive because I consume an inordinate amount of mac and cheese.  I finished my substantial plate in record timing, and was tempted to order another, though somehow I found the self-control to abstain.  I will certainly be making a return visit to The Deli and ordering that delicious mac and cheese again.
