Okay, I’m obsessed with MARTA. And this wasn’t even a subway error! This is the third time the cafeteria at my workplace has served this mysterious dish. Sorry for the quality; I photographed sneakily!

I have been bugged by this for weeks, since I started commuting every day on Atlanta’s charming underground system. Then some friends and I happened upon a train that had clearly also transported a fellow sufferer.
