Whenever Wyatt's cafeteria is mentioned, someone always remembers the baked eggplant...including me. I never passed it by! My other favorite was the banana pudding because they always had browned meringue on top. One day I complimented the server on the pudding, and she said "my dad makes that every day...wait while I go get him"...out he came, beaming, even though he didn't speak English!! Wish I could taste it again...and tell him in spanish this time!!
