Where to Eat at the University of Kentucky, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UK chapter.

With so many dining options on campus, it can be difficult to choose a place to snag a bite. Luckily, your zodiac sign can help tell you where to eat at UK.

Aries: Panda Express

Fast-food
Olivia Kelly

Fiery Aries has no time to waste on the social aspects of eating. They’re looking for something bold that’s fast, filling, and has no fuss, so they can swipe their meal card and call it a day. With Panda Express’ assembly-line layout, Aries is able to get exactly what they want and go about their day.

Taurus: La Madeleine

Taurus is the true foodie of the zodiac. They’re looking for a wholesome, gourmet meal with good presentation and hearty taste, as well as an atmosphere worth posting on Instagram. UK’s La Madeleine country French cafe provides all of these aspects, and since flex is accepted, Taurus is more than happy to sit down to a well-deserved meal after class.

Gemini: Einstein Bros. Bagels

Gemini is energetic and always on the move. They’re looking for something small and quick to snack on as they go. Gemini needs options and conversation as well, and with Einstein Bros.’ seemingly never-ending flavor combinations, it’s the perfect place for them to stop with friends between classes.  

Cancer: Rising Roll

Sweet Cancer prefers to eat at home, but when school is in session, they’re looking for a cozy spot to eat at UK. Cancer wants a place with simple homestyle food that they can take to a quiet corner table and enjoy. They can find comfort in a bowl of Rising Roll’s brown sugar oatmeal in the morning, and maybe they’ll make another stop for a pimento and apple sandwich at lunchtime. 

Leo: The 90

Leo is here to eat and have a good conversation while they do it. They need a place filled with people and a table big enough for their friends to join. From Mongolian, to pizza, to salad, to pasta, the layout and food options at The 90 are exactly what Leo is looking for when mealtime comes ’round.

Virgo: Intermezzo & Wildcat Pantry

Virgo is on a mission and doesn’t set aside too much time for elaborate meals. Instead, they opt for a snack they can take on the go, like a granola bar or parfait from the Wildcat Pantry. When they’re a little more hungry, a salad or sandwich from Intermezzo Cafe is the perfect choice for this Zodiac. 

Libra: Champion’s Kitchen

Ask a Libra where to eat at UK, and they won’t miss a beat before telling you all about the brand-new Champion’s Kitchen. Libra tends to go for traditional dining-hall-style meals, so they can have all of their options in one place and can try a little bit of everything the facility has to offer. The self-serve and custom-order stations at Champion’s Kitchen are exactly what Libra needs when it’s time to eat.

Scorpio: Taco Bell

Impulsive Scorpio is the type to be staying up late and looking for a snack, and since the on-campus Taco Bell location is open until midnight, it’s the perfect place for Scorpio to take a stroll to. Scorpio loves fast food, bold flavors, and fun combinations. They want exactly what they want when they want it, and they know that Taco Bell can deliver exactly that.

Sagittarius: Freshii

Sagittarius is looking for somewhere to eat at UK that will provide them with healthy options, fresh ingredients, and plenty of opportunities to experiment. Freshii is the perfect place on campus for them – it even has “fresh” in its name! With wraps, salads, grain bowls and more, as well as the option to customize, Freshii is Sagittarius’ favorite place to grab lunch between classes. 

Capricorn: Common Grounds

Capricorn is the type of person who doesn’t easily get tired of eating the same thing every day. In fact, they try to stick to their routine as much as possible! Common Grounds offers Capricorn the quick and simple food they’re looking for, and since it was rated one of the top five best coffee shops in Lexington, Capricorn knows that they’re getting a product that meets their standards.

Aquarius: Aqua Sushi

Aquarius needs somewhere to eat at UK that offers something unlike a traditional dining hall or fast food chain. Their palate is open to trying anything, and Aqua Sushi provides them with the unique options they’re searching for. From edamame, to rice bowls, to a roll named after Coach Calipari, Aquarius will find themselves on cloud nine at Aqua Sushi.

Pisces: Auntie Anne’s

Pisces is known for their love of fun food and for their sweet tooth, which makes Auntie Anne’s the perfect place for them to grab a bite. How many ways can you prepare a pretzel? Pisces will make it their mission to try every variety that Auntie Anne’s offers, and with the option to have a combo or just a single pretzel, it’s perfect for Pisces to have a meal or a snack any time of the day.

Whether you’re a first semester Taurus, a fourth year Libra, or anyone in between, you’re bound to find somewhere to eat at UK that keeps you coming back every day – maybe even on the weekends!

I'm currently a senior at the University of Kentucky and I'm majoring in history. I love to be able to make things - be they crafts or jewelry, or most importantly, food - and I'm ecstatic to be a part of Spoon University!
