The World Famous Bean has been ranked one of the top 50 best college cafeterias in the nation.
Awarded alongside other prominent universities, including Duke and Stanford, this is a milestone of achievement for the dear Christian college. This pristine award celebrates the accomplishment of the ACU kitchen and their work in serving the ACU community.
Bean food is one of a kind and can only be found at the Bean. The cuisine is recognizable, but the taste is incomparable. With a range of meals to choose from every day, there is a steady stride of surprise. From pizza to pasta, and soup to salad, these meals make up more than the average cafeteria roster, they make up the heart of the bean.
“I am a senior and I still eat at the Bean. I love the food and I love the people who work there,” said Jake Johnson, senior business major from Fort Worth. “Everyone is so friendly and is clearly happy to be there. This joy is evident in the food that they serve. You can just taste the intention.”
The Bean is a landmark on ACU’s campus. It is a name that resonates with most students and holds a strong memory in the minds of present and past attendees of ACU. While it is the kitchen that has been awarded for its cooking skills, what makes the Bean stand out from other college cafeterias is its opportunity for community.
“I love the World Famous Bean for its combination of good people and good food,” said Macy Mills, a freshman media major from Austin, Texas. “I appreciate the work of Bean and what it does for ACU students. Through the Bean, I am able to spend time with my friends and genuinely conversate over a good meal. It is truly an unforgettable experience.”
The World Famous Bean is more than a cafeteria, it is a place of commune where friendship meets fries. There is energy all around the cafeteria which one can feel from the moment they swipe their meal card. It is a place that has aligned itself with the values of the university and has established itself as a sanctuary for dear Christian food. Between its menu and its staff, there is a heart for the students of Abilene Christian University and their nutritional as well as spiritual well being. This heart has finally been recognized by the rest of the nation – grab a plate and taste it for yourself today.
