Carmel catholic cafeteria food 

This might be one of the best parts of Carmel. Like even if you’re not already hungry, the smell leading up to the lunch line as you walk towards the cafeteria generates this huge appetite in you. Like you start to starve no matter what food you had beforehand. It’s probably chemicals they put in it to get you to spend your money there. But who cares. The best food is actually the wraps and sandwiches that you can make yourself. Super underrated. And there’s ice cream and cookies every day and all these different drinks and sodas. Like yes it’s overpriced but it’s way better food than other cafeterias. Like it’s good quality. And the lunch employees are outstanding. The cafeteria food is one of the only things Carmel is good for ngl.

why am i so damn hungry
You are walking up to the cafeteria and you smell the Carmel catholic cafeteria food
