Since 1947, it's sounded very good right here on our campus! The Lunch Club meets every day in the Merle Tuve Room (dining hall) of the Greenewalt Building at 12:30 p.m. for a lunch cooked by one of the members.

We have only three rules:

1. No seconds before 12:45 p.m.
2. No complaints about the food allowed (compliments are ok).
3. No serving hotdogs more than twice a week.

If anyone knows the history of that last rule, we should write it down as part of our campus lore before it's lost.

If you would like to join the Lunch Club, please contact the current czar, Paul Silver.

Members cook, usually for a few days in a row, in proportion to how often they eat. There's no cost to be in the Club, other than what you pay for food when you cook. The menus are as varied as our cooks, but almost always include a vegetarian option. Cuisine has varied over the years. Once, fresh milk, ice cream, and wine were common. These days the menu usually has a main course, salad, bread, fruit and cookies.

Please realize that all of the food and cooking utensils in the Lunch Club kitchen belong to the Club. Non-members can use the kitchen after hours, but they must clean up after themselves and not interfere with the cook.
