Hillel Dining Hall: Full of Crap?

Kosher diners will have to wait one more night before they can eat at Hillel again. The dining hall, which closed last night due to a sewage leak on the kitchen floor, will be closed again tonight.

FlyBy was assured by a Hillel spokesperson that it was just a little leak, no big deal.

But according to David P. Davidson, director of operations for HUDS, a floor drain located underneath the kitchen was backed up, causing a small puddle of sewage from the restroom upstairs. More details after the jump.

After an afternoon of intense sanitation (large blasts of steam could be heard coming from the closed doors), the Cambridge Health Inspectors okayed the kitchen for production once again.

Jack G. Barbosa, food supervisor for Hillel, said that all the food was thrown out last night. Cooks were not let into the kitchen until after 3 p.m., so they did not have time to prepare service for tonight.

All that remains seems to be a metal cart of chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies that FlyBy noticed waiting patiently in the dining room earlier today.

Hillel Dining Hall will reopen tomorrow night. Until then, diners can turn to frozen dinners in Kosher corners of dining halls. Or a cookie.
