“Travel the culinary world while staying right here in Georgetown!” That’s what was promised when Leo J. O’Donovan dining hall announced that they would be expanding their dining options to offer ‘Foreign Cuisines.’ Unfortunately, it seems that this culinary journey has left several Georgetown students in the hospital with what officials are saying “might be Havana Syndrome, but it’s probably just one of the innumerable undiscovered bacterial strains back in that kitchen.” 

The first day, they offered ‘Flavors of the Far East,’ which I am pretty sure was just cup o’ noodles that they put in a big pot. I’m giving it a 7/10, because at least it didn’t kill anyone. The next day was when things started to really go downhill. Leo’s decided to once again flex its Asian muscles, but this time, they turned their attention South. The south part of Asia. South Asian food. They offered a surprisingly vast spread of Indian food, but little did the students know that the Dal Makhani would get them Dal Makilled. After consuming Leo’s exotic cuisine, students started to report severe stomach issues. One student who consumed the culinary experiment was immediately sent to the ER after collapsing due to stomach pain. 14 students were hospitalized, 6 of whom have tragically passed away. One of our lucky survivors spoke to us from the hospital, stating “I just wanted a taste of home from Leo’s ya know, but the Chana Masala was a Chana Mistake.” This Chicken Tikka Massacre has made Leo’s reconsider their new expansion to prevent further Death by Dosa. Still, I’ll give South Asian Day at Leo’s a 3/10 rating, as I’ve definitely had worse food there before.
