Morgan has a vision for JSU students.<br \/>\n\u201cMy goal is that every single kid on campus can find something that\u2019s here, they want to eat, every single day.\u201d<br \/>\nWith new food choices at the Legacy, students, faculty, alumni, and visitors have more variety in satisfying their unique taste buds.<br \/>\nIf searching for barbeque, 34 Peyton Place is the perfect place. Hamburgers and polish sausages once occupied the station named after the football great, Walter Peyton, but now the pit has taken over.<br \/>\nBarbeque ribs and chicken, cole slaw, baked beans, and corn on the cob are all cooked to satisfaction. For small insight behind the scenes, a spinning oven slowly cooks the ribs and chicken and then a basting process takes place, before serving.<br \/>\nTortilla Fresca, previously a deli station, now serves taco salads and nachos. Meat choices are chicken and beef. Some toppings include Mexican rice, jalape\u00f1o peppers, sour cream, salsa, and lettuce.<br \/>\nMississippi Kitchen serves plate lunches or as some would call a combination of baked chicken and cooked vegetables, a \u201chome cooked meal.\u201d<br \/>\nAll of the food is freshly prepared daily. The stations, including the Mexican and barbeque concepts are centered on food choices that, \u201cthe younger generation and also the middle generation can gravitate around,\u201d said Morgan.<br \/>\nChick-Fil-A and Pizza Hut are brands and independent  of Morgan, the Mississippi Kitchen, Peyton Place, and Tortilla Fresca. The stations often offer specials for their customers to save money and ultimately have a more rewarding experience.<br \/>\nJSU students  said they are enjoying the food choices and great customer service at Legacy Dining.<br \/>\nTyrone Journey, a freshman physical education major from Itta Bena, Miss., said, \u201cIt\u2019s very good. They take time and ask us what we want. I like that they don\u2019t rush us or have attitudes. They greet us when we get our food. They always smile.\u201d<br \/>\nJa\u2019Rontez Hooker, a freshman health care administration major from Prentiss, Miss agreed.<br \/>\n\u201cMy favorite is Chick-Fil-A because of those chicken strips, oh my gosh. They never have attitudes. They have great customer service,\u201d said Hooker.<br \/>\nHarriet Smith, a senior English Education major from Jackson, Miss. enjoys eating from Mississippi Kitchen.<br \/>\nShe said, \u201cThey have the best bread pudding. It\u2019s perfect. They also have great cheddar broccoli rice. I\u2019m enjoying the food right now.\u201d<br \/>\nFall hours for Mississippi Kitchen, Tortilla Fresca, and 34 Peyton Place are 10:30 a.m. \u2013 2 p.m., Monday \u2013 Friday. They are closed Saturday and Sunday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Candace Chambers Staff Writer Chef Godfrey T.
