Supreme Court Cafeteria Gets an F for Salty Sauces, Soaked Salads

The U.S. Supreme Court cafeteria is evidently making false representations.

The chef’s special was herb-crusted roast beef with rice pilaf and roasted zucchini, but it had neither herb crust nor pilaf. The entire dish was “sad-looking” and covered with overly salty sauce, the Washington Post says.

The salad with mixed greens and apples was supposed to contain pecans, but there were walnuts instead. And the “surplus of vinaigrette” sent the Washington Post reporter into a short bout of coughing.

“This food should be unconstitutional,” the newspaper declared. “Can you eat healthfully here? Not so much. But you can cut your calorie intake, because chances are, you won’t end up eating much of anything at all.”

The Post rated seven federal cafeterias in the Washington, D.C. area for a story about new U.S. specifications that encourage healthy food. The Supreme Court was the only facility that received an F.
