Q: I really like the Green Mountain Organic coffee, but you need to always have french roast or a darker roast. This is the only coffee that actually tastes like coffee should. If people like weaker coffee, then they can add hot water or milk or something. But I can't strengthen up weak coffee to make it taste real. The Breakfast Blend this morning (2/22/03) was so weak that I had to throw it out.
A: On Saturday we had not gotten our shipment of French Roast in yet , but we are planning on this being one of the three standard flavors that are available on a daily basis. It should be here today.

Q: Posting "Chef's Special" to the Den website for every day of the week is not going to fly. Please post at least one special so that one can decide if it is worth the trek over there! Thanks!
A: We will make the correction. (Webmaster's note: This happened only during the Spring Break, as the menus we determined on a daily basis and their publication ahead of time was impossible.)

Q: hi - i recently found out i have an iron defeciency and am looking for ways to work more iron into my diet....one of the suggestions from the nutritionist was using spinach instead of lettuce in my salad and i was hoping we could have it a little more often on the salad bar...thanks!

Q: I second the request for larger cups by the coffee/hot chocolate machines. That would be excellent! Thanks

Q: So, I know that this is a small, insignificant matter, but the raisin bread is starting to get to me. it isn't cut very well and stays stuck together and, when you try and pull the slices apart, it tears into loads of pieces. I know this is a wierd complaint, but i keep getting alot of jam on my hands b/c the bread is falling apart. is there another brand we could get? thanks, dana
A: No food related issue is too small. I have forwarded your concerns to our purchaser and we will be setting up a meeting with our bread vendor. I will update you on the outcome of that meeting.
