Getting Creative in the Caf

Posted on October 19, 2016December 23, 2016 by Camille Lemieux

As pretty much all Lake Forest College students know, going to the cafeteria can sometimes be a source of great joy (chicken nugget night especially) or bitter disappointment. There are definitely times where nothing looks particularly appetizing. Having a few vegetarian friends, and only eating white meat myself, I know this adds another layer to what’s available and what looks good. Sometimes you just can’t find anything. This is where eating creatively in the caf…

Members of the Archaeological Institute of America have come from all over to investigate an artifact found in Lake Forest College’s very own cafeteria: the “grilled cheese.” If you regularly visit the Gus and Margie Hart Dining Hall to preserve your Flex for the end of the year (which if you don’t, you should, trust me), you know that there are some foods that the cafeteria offers on a daily basis. Some of these foods…

The Caf has plenty of tables to sit at, but a few of the tables seem to be designated for members of certain sports teams. Students have observed that the Caf has a table for football players, a table for the men’s soccer team, a table for the swim team, as well as a few more team-designated tables. “I remember the time that I accidentally sat at the cross country table the first semester of…
