Here's the skinny: Not only is UNT home to the nation's first vegan dining hall, Mean Greens Café, and one of the few allergen-free dining halls in the country, Kitchen West, but its mouth-watering meals also earned it the No. 2 spot on Delish.com's list of colleges with the best food. This year, Mean Greens celebrated its 10th anniversary, and the hydroponic garden Mean Green Acres -- which grows fresh vegetables for use in dining halls -- earned funding from the Diamond Eagles to expand its space. That means even more tasty meals like the award-winning Tomato Mushroom Curry, which won Best Vegan Recipe in the National Association of College & University Food Services Nutrition Awards Contest.
