Chopsticks Night a big hit on campus

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, April 17, 2015

ONU's annual Chopsticks Night featured great food, entertainment and plasticware for those not accustomed to chopsticks.

Sponsored by the Asian American Student Union, the event drew a large crowd of hungry folks who, by and large, managed quite well with the wooden chopsticks.

We asked, "Why did you come to Chopstick Night," and got these replies:

• I love Asian food.
• My family uses chopsticks.
• I learned from an exchange student from South Korea my family hosted several years ago.
• Food tastes better using wood utensils instead of plastic or metal.
