The Hard Knox Cafe

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.

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. One example is the current quest for Corm. Each request has been met with comments such as "what is corm".

However, if you have a good, creative idea, the readers of the caf comments will be remarkably responsive and fast, quick and eager to shoot down whatever hopes you might have had for good food. Adding insult to injury, they often serve small amounts of far superior food left over from catered events, just to prove that they could do better if they cared to.
