...This same question distracted me enough throughout my meal on that dreary morning that when my attention re-focused on my plate, I found it empty, even though I had no recollection of the savor of flame-grilled blood and protein that is the trademark of the cut of beef known as the T-bone. Interest piqued by this wholly unremarkable meal, once back in Cambridge, I visited the restaurant’s website and learned that the Eat’n Park is “an institution.” This informative tidbit aside, I remained unenlightened...

In their stead, among other new selections, Harvard’s students will encounter seasoned-beef burritos and tacos at the new Catalina Cantina—a substitution touted as salutary for us, and admittedly a toothsome one, but one that will do sadly little for the health of those beloved spokes-cows...
