The Hard Knox Cafe totally thinks its name is the cutest thing ever. But most people just call it the "caf."
The Hard Knox Cafe serves hot eagle wings and corn most frequently. Unfortunately, the cafeteria's macaroni and cheese is unsatisfactory. Alex Lindsay suggested that the only scientific explanation for the caf's mac and cheese to have absolutely no taste is that the noodles used in the mac and cheese have a negative cheese flavor. In general, the food tastes pretty okay during the week and not so great on weekends. Unless you get up for Sunday brunch with the vegan dumplings. Good caf stuff: Stir Fry and the monday/friday pizza thing. Bad caf stuff: the mashed potatoes. Obviously NOT real mashed potatoes. The scent of the faux mashed potatoes sends one's gag reflex into overdrive.
The caf takes meal swipes through the CBORD system. Meals cost about $8, you can't possibly buy fewer than 75 of them per term, and the school makes it very difficult for students who want to cook their own meals to get off-board.
Comment board
The comment board is filled with dire requests for edible food, which the caf workers often deny if the request is too expensive or hard to find. They do try, though--a group of impassioned students last year brought back granola with comment cards, pointing out that a parfait would be impossible without it. Currently Corm is being requested urgently by several students, but the caf is viciously denying any possibility of Corm, pretending to not know what it is.
The comment board is also filled with drawings and other witticisms not related to food whatsoever. These comments are submitted for the sole purpose of finding out what Helmut Meyer's response is going to be. This response surpasses expectations of amusement by the commenter more times than not.
Fashion
It has become fashionable among male residents of the "cool side" of the cafeteria (where the greeks sit) to put your ID between the brim of your baseball cap and your head. It's probably a first-year thing. They'll learn.
Those who are not greek sit on the "Dark side" of the caf, because they can't stand the light of the greeks.
Caf Schism?
Others deny that there is a cool/uncool caf division and see it as a scam for the Greeks to convince themselves that GDI's admire them. The "window" side of the caf is mostly full of hippies who like to get a little sunshine once awhile--a difficult task when you never leave your frat house.
