So the
other day I decided to try out a new place on campus called Rising Roll
Gourmet. I had heard good things about it, so I had to discover these things
for myself. It’s located in the Ralph G. Anderson building within the
Engineering quadrangle. Most of the engineering majors have already been, but
it seems like it’s a pretty well-kept secret within the engineering community.
So like
most, if not all, of the on-campus eateries its line gets pretty long around
mealtimes. This is normal and well worth the wait. While I was standing in this
line I noticed that they have a sign with a newspaper article on it. This article
rated the top sandwich shops in the US. Believe it or not the Rising Roll
Gourmet location in Atlanta was riding on top at number 1. This was surprising
because I had never heard of this chain until I arrived on campus.
Then I took
a look at their menu. It had a plethora of hot and cold sandwiches, wraps, and
soup. Reading some of the ingredients, I quickly realized this was no run of
the mill sandwich shop, they had very unique combination of ingredients in
their specialty sandwiches. One of the other things they pride themselves on is
their fresh ingredients.
I
actually received my food not that much longer after my order was placed. This is
very rare among the dining options at UK. Then when I turned to find a seat, I found
out the downside to this great place. There aren’t a whole lot of seating
options in the commons area. I was going to go outside and sit in the
courtyard, but it was kind of a dreary wet day. The commons area is a very
popular place; many engineers do their homework here and there is always
tutoring going on. Overall I really like Rising Roll, but if their planning on
more business they should really expand their seating.
