Hats Off to 212
Bwog heard through the grapevine that some of the employees at 212 have asked familiar faces for a most unusual favor: to write Dining Services an e-mail requesting that the Chef’s-Hat-Required policy be nixed.
We think this a worthy cause, and if you do too, shoot the Dining mandarins an e-mail at eats@columbia.edu. It’ll take just a second and will do wonders for your karma.

that if the chef’s hats were removed, they ought to at least be replaced by some other form of headgear of equally imposing stature, like wizards’ hats or British court full-bottomed wigs.
hats are meant to prevent the unholy union of hair and food…
they seem to have no effect at present anyway, may at least let them take off the hat, continue to have hair in my salad and maybe if their disposition improves they’ll be friendlier
i just posted that and then went to get a 212 sandwich. the line was crazy insanely long. the cause? one short douchebag guy with a hat. he was the only one wearing the hat and he was the one holding up the line by working at a leisurely pace and making shitty sandwiches so everyone ended up arguing with him to get what they wanted. the other lady was considerably faster and more pleasant. can you beat that? empirical evidence that the hats will cause 212’s downfall (to fall…even farther down)
Bring back Alfredo! Down with change.
They also asked me to tell their bosses to quit hassling them about the stupid policy about washing hands. Can we help them out here?
hahahaha

and baseball caps are significantly more useful and better at evading hairloss. Anyway, we should just have them all shaved bald since hair is really scary.
