Though few current students may remember when [[Greylock Dining Hall]] started their midday deli tradition, it set in motion a lunch revolution that would sweep through the campus [[dining hall|dining halls]], giving rise to the short but very popular run of [[Baxter North Dining Hall]] , and culminating in today's [[Driscoll]] lunches, -- to some , the defining lunch experience. Today, Director of [[Dining Services]] [[Bob Volpi]] is our champion, and none will deny that he has brought [[Driscoll]] a long way from its [[The Dirty D|Dirty D]] days. Even great men, however, stand on the shoulders of other great men, and Bob's work would not have been possible without his predecessor, John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, the man popularly credited with inventing the convenient food assemlage that bears his name, so that he could eat cleanly while playing [[cribbage]].

Do you snub the speed of [[Grab 'n' Go]] because a good lunch just can't be rushed, even if it means being late to lab? Do you think the panini sandwich presses were an even better buy than the [[Schow chair|Schow chairs]]? This page is for you and for every sandwich connoisseur.
'''Mud and Leaves:''' Two pieces of thick multigrain bread, two spoonfuls of chunky natural peanut butter, raw spinach leaves, and a bit of honey. Beware of eating in front of culinarily conservative friends.
'''The Mills 3 Breakfast Delight''' Toasted English muffin, cream cheesed on both sides, a piece of ham, scrambled eggs. Some take it with a little ketchup on the side. It's delicious and well worth the effort.
'''The Nugwich''': A hamburger bun, two fried chicken tenders (NOT buffalo tenders), a slice of tomato, and a dollop of ranch dressing. It will take you back to Tennessee.
''But to do this right, you'd have to take notes on Driscoll. Which is weird.''<br>-- Allison Smith '07
'''Aunt Vicky's BBQ Beef Brisket:''' Making its first appearances at [[Driscoll]] in [[Fall 2004]] (avilable available there only?), this is a hot roast beef melt barbecued brisket sandwich distinguished by the fried onions topping that you can only get on a dining services hot line. Served on a roll, and guaranteed to put you to sleep in your 1:10 lecture.
'''The Rachel:''' This gooey vegetarian alternative to the Reuben is known only at [[Dodd Dining Hall|Dodd]] or [[Mission Dining Hall]]. Instead of corned beef, there is a single large portabello mushroom cap. Everything else remains the same.
'''Egg McWilliams:''' A fried egg, a sausage patty, a slice of white American cheese and no regrets make this fairly greasy Williams classic, formerly served on an English muffin as a mainstay at the dearly departed and much beloved old [[Snack Bar]]. An occassional treat at brunch, where they let you build your own. Also available at lunch every Saturday at Greylock.
'''Tuna melt:''' Grilled and greasy at the [[Snacky B]].
'''Grilled cheese and tomato''' The humble workhorse of the snack bar, where this favorite for the late study snack flies off the grill. The tomato is 30¢ 30� extra over a plain grilled cheese, but ''so'' worth it. One of the semesterly [[Late Night Snacks]] hosted by dining services near [[finals]] time is based around this sandwich.
'''Grilled cheese with tomato, avocado, and bacon''' Adding bacon and avocado may be overpriced but the end result is so god damn good I can't deny it sometimes. Best sandwich I've ever had.
