On CP one oh one Learned by Listening, 12 00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:32.880 presented by KCPR ninety one point three. 13 00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.560 Hi Mustang, I'm Emma Hughes, a third year English student, and. 14 00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.000 I'm Kate Lopensk, a third year journalism student here at 15 00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:41.439 cal Poly, and we're here to share our tell all 16 00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:44.399 guide on how to survive and thrive at cal Poly 17 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:45.399 San Luis Obispo. 18 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:47.679 So grab a notebook. You may want to write this down. 19 00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.439 Welcome to CP one oh one, How to Dine on Campus. 20 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.439 You've been here for a couple weeks now, or maybe 21 00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.560 even a few years, and you know how cal a 22 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:06.280 campus can be when. 23 00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:07.799 It all becomes a bit much, the last thing you 24 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:09.719 want to do is worry about where and what you're 25 00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:11.920 going to eat. That's why today we are looking into 26 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:13.640 all the food options on campus. 27 00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.599 Knowing where campus dining locations are, what options you can 28 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:19.879 choose from, and how accessible it is to you is 29 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.680 vital to survive as a college student. Take it from me, 30 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:25.760 I'm like a worst case scenario. I'm dairy free and 31 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:29.239 I'm red meat free. So dining as a freshman was 32 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:30.200 a bit challenging. 33 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.239 But look at me. I'm still here today. 34 00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:35.799 I don't have dietary restrictions, but I'm a picky eater, 35 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.560 so I'm a survivor too. As two students who once 36 00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:41.879 relied solely on campus dining, we know a thing or 37 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:42.840 two about this topic. 38 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.760 First things first, let's talk about what food is actually 39 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:52.079 on campus, starting with the infamous Vista Grande Dining complex. Yeah, 40 00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.560 so vegs, as we like to call it here, that's 41 00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:55.519 what the cool kids call it. 42 00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.560 VEG. Well, VEG or VG's do you say it with 43 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:00.319 an S or not? 44 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.519 I don't you do. We've had this debate before. I mean, 45 00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.040 I think it's just a matter of opinion. You can 46 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.159 say whatever you want, but I do laugh at Emma 47 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:13.240 for putting an apostrophe es yes, behind every single place here. 48 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.199 It's funny. It just makes more sense. 49 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.680 Anyways, VG's is the main dining complex here on campus 50 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:21.919 and it's open from seven am to nine pm. 51 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.120 Okay, so let's do a little walk through tour. So 52 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:29.599 you're going to the bottom floor area of vg So 53 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:33.280 there you can find the market, John, the juice, and 54 00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:37.360 the deli. So the market has grab and go pre 55 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.960 made things.

It's just make your 78 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.879 own sandwiches. You can pick one that's already on the menu, 79 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:38.159 or you can customize your own. 80 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.000 Yes, it's kind of like a subway except not, which 81 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:44.439 we'll get into our love for subway later. 82 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:45.000 Yes. 83 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.159 The next thing on our list for VG's is the 84 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.639 Vista Grunde Express. This has breakfast served from seven to 85 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.879 ten thirty am, lunch from eleven am to three thirty pm, 86 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.840 and dinner from four pm to nine pm. This Visita 87 00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:01.639 Grunde Express was not here when we were freshmen, and no, 88 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:03.879 this is like so Kate and I did a little 89 00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:07.479 walk through tour ourselves of Vista Grande and we saw. 90 00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.560 It and we were shocked. We were appalled. 91 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:14.000 We were because there was nothing like this for us. 92 00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.959 It just seems so easy. You can make your own waffles, 93 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.560 just grab a bowl of cereal, some toast with peanut butter. 94 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.160 Yeah. I was one of those. 95 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:25.040 College students that did sneak a toaster into my room 96 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.040 because I would literally eat toast for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, 97 00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.839 whatever I could do. So them having this is very 98 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:35.199 convenient and you're not breaking any rules. 99 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.040 Yeah, it's like a one swipe and then buffet free 100 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:39.480 for all. 101 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:40.680 You can get whatever you want. 102 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.319 They have lovely little takeout containers for you, so you 103 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:44.920 can literally take it on the go. 104 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:49.120 Yeah, so great option. So the next one is brunch. 105 00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:52.519 I know that Emma has something to say about brunch. 106 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:56.480 I loved brunch they had when we were freshmen. 107 00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.639 They had burritos, breakfast burritos that were life saver for me. 108 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:01.319 They were so good. 109 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:06.040 I didn't even really eat breakfast, but the breakfast burrito 110 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.519 was like constant lunch and dinner every day, all day 111 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.240 I was eating there. But now they don't have the 112 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.800 breakfast burrito, but they still have all the good things 113 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.639 that go inside, just they have it now as the bowl, 114 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:21.759 so they definitely still have all the necessary options that brunch. 115 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:26.040 And they even have deluxe pancake plates now, which again 116 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.079 not a thing when we were freshmen. No, okay, so 117 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.600 next is Balance Cafe. We'll get more specific about this 118 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.480 place later on in the episode. But if you have 119 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.160 a lot of dietary restrictions. This is where you go. 120 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:40.560 They put a lot of emphasis and a lot of 121 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.279 care into making sure that there's no cross contamination and 122 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.240 that all of their options are allergen friendly. Balance is 123 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.959 a good go to for like little things, so I 124 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.079 would definitely recommend checking that out. Next on our list 125 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:56.199 is Hearth, which is a good old hearty pizza place. 126 00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.439 Pizza. I think you can get pasta there too. 127 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.839 Even they even have some ub sandwiches, so kind of 128 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:03.360 got all the things you need. 129 00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.439 Moving on, let's go to Streets. Now. 130 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:08.720 This is a super cool option because now they have 131 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:09.639 make your own. 132 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:13.560 Like burrito bowls and stuff like that. Yes, kind of Chipotle. 133 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:18.240 Vibes definitely, definitely, and it's like all Mexican food so good. 134 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:22.920 They have I think takitos, tacos and bowls and burritos 135 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:27.160 and it's lifesaver, you know me breakfast burrito. I also 136 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:28.560 love Streets burritos. 137 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.519 I was all for it. 138 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.759 It was not my favor obviously because they put cheese 139 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:34.079 on everything, so. 140 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:35.680 Fair enough if you're I mean. 141 00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.360 Now, with the build your own bowl option, I feel 142 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.560 like that's more customizable for people with allergies. 143 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:46.240 Now we have noodles, which, as it sounds, pasta place 144 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.279 all your go to regular spaghetti, meatballs, even garlic bread, 145 00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:52.199 classic pasta place. 146 00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:57.000 Can't go wrong. Okay, now we have mingle and nash again. 147 00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:59.560 Kind of sad that we didn't have this freshman year 148 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.199 because I would have had a piece of pea bread 149 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:05.160 with hummus probably every single day. 150 00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:06.680 Yeah. 151 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:10.120 This food option again with the choose your own You 152 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.480 get your peeda bread and you get to choose like 153 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:17.079 five toppings and just you get it, just eat, chow down. 154 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:21.480 It's a great option for you.

Yes, 301 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:41.759 there's also a market in the UU that we want 302 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:44.679 to make you aware of, and this one's definitely a 303 00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:47.000 smaller market compared to the other two we've talked about, 304 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:50.279 but it's in a central location and if you're already 305 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:53.039 in the UU, if you're baby studying upstairs and you 306 00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:55.279 need a little snack, you can head to the market 307 00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:56.519 and just pick up your favorite treat. 308 00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:59.000 Yeah, this just has chips, granola bars. 309 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:02.440 Again this so she makes a reappearance here already pre 310 00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:05.960 made salads all the go to's okay, And then there's 311 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:09.240 another Starbucks. This is a very popular location. There's always 312 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:11.799 such a long line, so my pro tip is to 313 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:14.120 always plan ahead when you're getting Starbucks. 314 00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:17.000 Yes, Starbucks is definitely one that you want to use 315 00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:20.399 the grub hub app for because, like I remember, I've 316 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:23.639 had hour long waits before, so I would wake up 317 00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:26.159 like at eight am for a ten am class so 318 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:28.120 that I could order my Starbucks and pick it up 319 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:30.879 on the way to class. Yeah, I am personally more 320 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:34.360 of a scout girl because that just it just has 321 00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:37.600 more of what I want. And I just always found 322 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:40.440 it unreasonable because the line was so long. But I 323 00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:43.639 will always go for that like egg white turkey bacon, 324 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:47.960 English muffin situation sandwich they have going there, Like it's good. 325 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:50.279 I like it. Love Starbucks for breakfast. 326 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.879 Our last location in the UU is shake Smart, which 327 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:56.840 we know is kid's favorite. 328 00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:59.679 Yes, if you gave me the time, I could talk 329 00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:02.399 about my love for Shakesmart for hours. 330 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:03.440 Okay. 331 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.519 So there's only one correct way to do this. You 332 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:11.080 have to get what are they called the scooped bowls. Yes, 333 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.360 not the blended bowls. You get the raw peabe Okay, 334 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:17.559 it is the only one that you get. 335 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:20.039 It's so good. It comes with. 336 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:25.759 So like the osai e basse bananas, peanut butter, chocolate chips, 337 00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:29.600 and then in a golfy drizzle. But I customize it. Okay, 338 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:32.799 listen very carefully. This is going to save you. 339 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:33.679 Okay. 340 00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.440 So it depends on bananas for me, you know, it 341 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:39.679 depends on the day. For me, bananas can either be 342 00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:42.639 delicious or like make me want to vomit. Okay, So 343 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:48.639 sometimes I'll sub bananas from blueberries. Okay, so good, get 344 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.000 extra peanut butter, delicious, no agafite drizzle. 345 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:53.440 Okay. 346 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.039 Yeah, so that's my order, and I would eat. 347 00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:59.440 This so many times a week.

Yeah. 349 00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:05.799 And for shake Smart, you order outside at their little 350 00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:09.599 is it like a kiosk what you can call it? Yes, kiosk, 351 00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:13.839 And I will always see a line always people swarming, 352 00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:18.200 but they move fast, they get your order. It's like, 353 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.039 I feel like it's a social spot even though there's 354 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:24.160 like no real seating, Like everyone's there and like it's 355 00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:26.759 right next to the wreck. So it's a great location 356 00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:30.000 to get like protein shake, you know, hit the gym, 357 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:31.279 do your thing. 358 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:33.440 I have a pro tip for you.

The other day they 375 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:20.079 were playing Determinate from Lemonade Mouth for all my Disney 376 00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:22.960 fanatics out there, and I literally hopped on the group 377 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:25.039 chat with all my girlies and was like, guys, you'll 378 00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:28.200 never believe it, so just keep that in mind. 379 00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:31.519 Again. The ambiance of Shakesmart is beautiful. 380 00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:34.160 So different from the VG playlist, which is the most 381 00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:37.759 random thing I've ever heard in my entire life. It 382 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:40.119 hasn't changed since when we were freshman either. 383 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:42.599 No, always, so we want to know who's on ogs. 384 00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:45.680 Hit us to please hit us up, let us know. 385 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:51.279 Another great spot for getting food on campus is the 386 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:54.240 food trucks that they kind of move around. They move 387 00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:57.160 to you wherever you are, Like, there's always a food 388 00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:01.519 truck nearby and they are surprise so good. 389 00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:02.160 Yeah. 390 00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:05.200 So they're either in the pack circle or on Motlawn, 391 00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:08.279 so wherever you're at. This is great for when you're 392 00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:11.599 living in the dorms and you just want to grab 393 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:14.240 something really easy at night, It'll be right there. 394 00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:17.279 The first track we want to mention is plant Ivy. 395 00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.480 I love Plant Ivy, the pretzel buns. I have never 396 00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:25.400 been to Plant Ivy. We should go? Yes, can we go? Yes? 397 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.359 I'd be so down actually, like they have the most 398 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:34.799 delicious plant based burgers ever. I get the one with 399 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:37.599 the apples on it, and they also have like vecan 400 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.240 cheese you can get on it, and again the pretzel 401 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:42.920
