Douglass Dining Center is home to the “Kosher Korner” – a meal station where kosher options are served for those students who keep kosher and for those of us who simply enjoy the homemade taste of cold cuts. The Kosher Korner is currently under investigation because its famous brownies, situated directly to the left of the main counter, are supposedly “too good”. Many report that they have fallen victim to these desserts and that the brownies are the primary cause of their gaining the “freshman 15”. Students have reported that “they’re the f***ing best”. Another student claims that he “had to change his pants after eating one . . . twice”. Other comments include: “I had to go to the gym after I had just one,” they’re “better than sex”, and “the woman working behind the counter called [me] the ‘brownie monster’”. Douglass staff has declined to comment.
