Where fun and speed meet at MCC-Blue River's Food Services


Michael Watkins’ heart is just about as big as his warm, inviting smile.

With over twenty-two years experience in food services, Watkins brings an approachable charm and commitment to the MCC-Blue River community! An employee of Treat America Food Services, he has been on-campus since late July preparing, planning and getting everything in order for today’s crowd of hungry students and faculty.

In his new role at Blue River, Watkins looks forward to cultivating an enjoyable, yet efficient food services atmosphere for his team of five student workers and one regular staffer, Rocky Bond.

Watkins most enjoys the one-on-one time with customers and likes to operate on an informal “first name” basis. What can you expect from his team? Simply put: a fast, fun, friendly food services environment. “If you don’t make work fun, it becomes a four letter word”, Watkins says with a chuckle. “The four letter word is W-O-R-K”.

Watkins lives in Eastern Jackson County with his wife, Teresa, and their five children.



Favorite TV show: Chef Ramsey’s “Hell’s Kitchen”

The one superpower he would love to have: “The power to heal. You know, I guess I (and we) already have it. You can make someone feel better in five minutes with a kind word."

Favorite afternoon snack: Skittles.

What really “bugs” him: When people disrespect others. “Everyone wants respect, but everyone doesn’t give it”
