Meehan, a no-nonsense New Yorker and manager of Ed's
When he isn't
training for Bengal Bouts, Daniel Meehan, Steds sophomore, is managing the
twice-voted "Best in-Hall Campus Eatery," Ed's. Established in 2010,
Meehan is the fourth Ed's manager, overseeing eight student workers and
devising a menu for the most discerning palate. Here's what Meehan had to say,
when I caught up with him...
St. Ed: What moved you to take on the mantle of
manager at Ed's?
Meehan: Well, it's so obvious. It's the dream of
every Stedsmen to manage the finest establishment here on campus.
St. Ed: Where do you find inspiration for
Ed's?
Meehan: Ja Rule.
St. Ed: Ja Rule?
Meehan: Yes, Ja Rule… you know the rapper. Because
of his time in prison, Ja Rule learned how to use a microwave, and he’s now
writing a microwave-themed cookbook. At Ed’s, we too use microwaves to bring
“comfort food” to Stedsmen, and so, I think that we can learn something from Ja
Rule’s time in Hotel Graybar.
St. Ed: Rumor has it that there are plans for new
offerings at Ed's, like Asian fusion something? Is that true?
Meehan: Well, yes, but definitely not Asian Fusion.
Early attempts at "weekend specials" went over like bad Chinese on a
Friday night. However, don't think for one second that will stop us from
coming up with a few surprises.
St. Ed: Do you eat at Ed's?
Meehan: Me? What about you?
St. Ed: Who's being interviewed here?
Folks, the sass…
I am sure that we'll find it in the kitchen too.
