Exploring food options

As a student, he has heard other students complaining about the food on campus. Ledwaba suspects that some of these people haven鈥檛 really explored all of the options. 鈥淚 would say that they need to try it before they start talking,鈥 he said. 鈥淏ecause the food here is pretty good. We eat here, as well, between our breaks, and we wouldn鈥檛 eat it if it wasn鈥檛 good. So, I feel they just need to come out and definitely give it more of a try.鈥

Ledwaba also talked about how the food he prepares is made from scratch. 鈥淓specially with the breakfast, we make omelets from scratch along with eggs and sausages,鈥 he said. 鈥淎t lunch, when you make Philly steaks, it鈥檚 all made from fresh beef, fresh mushrooms and fresh vegetables. We just bring in the bread.鈥

鈥淲e prepare the food to be the best and as fresh as you can get anywhere else.鈥

His favorites

As for his favorites, Ledwaba said his favorite thing to make is pancakes and his favorite things to eat are the omelets and the chicken tenders.
