Holiday Buffet Lunch at Owl Cafe

The roses are in placed, napkins are folded, plates are ready, and most importantly the food are in their chaffing dish. Manager of the day, Maureen Grace is making her rounds in the kitchen and in the dining room with her staff making sure everything is perfect. On the other side of the door, customers sat in front of the entrance at The Owl Cafe at Mission College waiting patiently for the doors to open at 11:30. The line continued to grew longer towards the door letting the cold breeze sneak in. A crowd of students chatted away while they read the menu.Today's Lunch Buffet Menu:  Hawaiian Style Baby Back Ribs, Roasted Whole Chickens, Slow Roasted Beef, Fresh Baked Dinner Roll, Corn Chowder, Mixed Green Salads, Jeweled Rice, Creamy Polenta, Roasted Vegetables, Cheesy Eggplant, Tiramisu, Bread Pudding, and Orange Cinnamon Poached Pears. Did I mention this was a buffet meaning you can go return for seconds or thirds all for a steal at $10, and $9 for students. The Owl Cafe at Mission College has been serving lunch all semester long run by it's very own Hospitality Students Led by Chef Instructor, Mr. Haze. The food was excellent and delicious. My favorite would have to be the Hawaiian Style Baby Back Ribs with it's peppery sweet taste of the Islands, and the unforgettable Tiramisu made perfectly by Maria. 



The Owl Cafe had a great run this semester and it is shutting it's doors for the winter break. It will resume it's operation next Spring semester with it's Restaurant Operations class running the show. If you're in the area be sure to have lunch Tuesdays and Thursdays next semester.
