At one time, cafeteria-style restaurants dominated the dining-out culture of the Southern United States, and there were several prominent chains of them: Morrison's, Blue Boar, and S & W among them. These institutions went into a decline in the 1960s with the rise of fast food and were largely finished off in the 1980s by the rise of "casual dining". However, newer chains, notably Luby's and Picadilly Cafeteria, have arisen to fill some of the gap left by the decline of the older chains. The U.S. Southern states or the South, also known colloquially as Dixie, constitute a distinctive region covering a large portion of the United States, with its own unique heritage, historical perspective, customs, musical styles, and cuisine. ...

College cafeteria A College Cafeteria is one that is designed to serve college students at the university. These cafeterias can be a part of a resident hall or in a separate building. Many of these colleges employ their own students to work in the cafeteria, like Central Michigan University [1] (http://ses.cmich.edu/student_employment_vacant_positions.htm). The amount of meals served to students varies from school to school, but is normally around 20 meals per week. Like normal cafeterias, a person will have a tray to select the food that they want, but instead of paying money, they pay beforehand by purchasing a meal plan.
Michigan State University Michigan State University has a fairly developed cafeteria system. There are two main types of cafeterias that students can go to. The first one is what typically comes to mind when talking about a cafeteria. This cafeteria is what is explained above. The other is called, “Totally Take Out”. It is a small room where students can use a meal and pick up food and beverages and eat them on the “run” [2] (http://www.hfs.msu.edu/uh/campus/dining/totally_takeout.html). This cafeteria is open throughout the day so when the regular cafeterias are closed, a student can still grab a meal.
Students buy meal plans according to their needs. At State, meal plans range from 10 meals per week to an unlimited plan. The Perfect 10 gives the student 10 visits to any of the cafeterias. The Prime 15 is like the Perfect 10 but the student gets 15 visits to the cafes. The Traditional 20 is a little bit different by giving the student only one visit to the cafeteria per meal. The unlimited plan gives the student unlimited times he or she can visit the regular cafeterias and two visits to “Totally Take Out” per day [3] (http://www.hfs.msu.edu/uh/campus/dining/meal_plan_options.html). Also, the unlimited plan gives the student $100 Spartan Cash.
Spartan Cash is money that can be accessed through the student’s Identification Card. It can be used to purchase items on or off campus. This can pay for everything from washers in the laundry room, pizza from many chain stores, or just for a snack at one of MSU’s convenience stores when on the go [4] (http://www.spartancash.com/). The student’s ID card is also used to keep track how many meals that they have used. Cafeteria workers swipe each student’s card before they are allowed to enter.
Michigan State also let guests eat in their cafeterias like a lot of other schools. The price for eating varies depending on what time the person wants to eat. The price for breakfast is $4.75, the price for lunch is $7.75 and the price for dinner and brunch on Sundays is $8.75 [5] (http://www.hfs.msu.edu/uh/campus/dining/meal_plan_options.html). They can eat whenever regular students can eat.
Students that eat in the cafeterias can know what they will be eating for the week online. Menus for all of the cafeterias are posted every week so a student can choose which cafeteria they want to go to [6] (http://www.hfs.msu.edu/uh/campus/dining/menus.html). There are different menus for each of the different cafeterias across campus so if one meal does not seem appealing at one cafeteria, the student can visit another one that is close by.
