Maybe the house manager could get a survey from all the girls on meal plan and present that to the chef to give them some foundation. I only did dinner 6 nights but they had breakfast food as well. It is challenging to come up with different menus 6 nights a week and in my case for 22+ girls. Even though I would get in a rut occasionally I would try to keep it tasty and different. Sounds like to me your house chef gets slightly lazy after a time  or not just too motivated. It is hard but they have to try.

Why six days a week?
Usually on Fri. it is a go out night.
If that is true, then Chef butter paddys so wont get to drunk!
No Sat or Sun. meal either as most are away and not going to eat dinner.
So if one does a survey of ls what is eaten and what is afforable it narrows it done?
1. Itilian. Pasta.
2. Mexican. Taco, burrito, encilada tamale.
3. Pizza is always a Fav.
4. Meat, burgers and fries.
5. Breakfast menu.
6. Once a month steak, baked potatoes, mashed with gravy or fries.
7. Major Salad!
Dining budget is costly.
Okay, maybe once ore thrice a month have a nice sit down dinner. Maybe fish and not Tuna but shrimp boil.
Old days, Sweet Roles and juice-class!
Lunch, cold cut sandwhich and chips, dip with pork and beans.
Never easy is it?
