Resident from IL College of ACES

Being a vegetarian, I thought I was going to have a difficult time finding good meals as well as food that is also meat-free. The AH chefs provided meals that would put vegetarian restaurants to shame. They always make sure that I am satisfied with the food that they prepare for me, and are even open to ideas that I have about specific dishes! They do an absolutely amazing job
