it's just understood

When you advertise a BBQ, the menu is an easy assumption: hamburgers and hot dogs, maybe some baked beans, some sort of fruit, and a beverage. If a desssert gets thrown in, all the better.

Sodexho, Whitworth's food service provider, has changed their definition of BBQ to now mean chicken with an excess of ambiguous sauce, cheese tortellini (which, when sitting outside in the ever-so-sweltering 60 degrees, gets cold in about five seconds), and moldy strawberries. Granted, today they threw in some fresh blueberries, of which I had like half a plate because they are so scrumptious, and I was also first in line after they changed out the tortellini, but seriously. What happened to the good old days of following through on age-old cultural customs?

Bring back the burgers. That's all I gotta say.
