You can find dishes from all over the world in our dining hall, Cafe Mac. Our chefs make crave-worthy dishes — built on whole grains, deep-color vegetables, fresh fruits, and lean or plant-based proteins — that people look forward to eating every day. But with a little ingenuity, you can create your own tasty recipes, too. Below, the Class of 2021 shares some of their favorite Cafe Mac creations.

Ice cream sundae
Make an ice cream sundae with the waffle toppings in Cafe Mac when it’s breakfast for dinner! And if you want, make a waffle too!! It makes a fun dessert!

Tendies
Order chicken tenders at the grille and ask for no side: you’ll get more tendies.

Cafe Mac and Cheese
Milk; plain pasta (pasta bar);
butter + cream cheese (salad bar);
LOTS of cheese (the grille + salad bar).
Microwave the pasta with butter and milk (2-3 minutes) then add in the rest of the ingredients. The residual heat will perfectly melt the cheese!
