Lunch lady is the American term for the cafeteria worker — usually a woman — who serves food to students in a school dining hall. The role carries a specific cultural weight in American popular culture: lunch ladies appear in countless films, TV shows, and comedy sketches, often depicted as formidable, hairnetted figures wielding industrial ladles. The term is used affectionately rather than disparagingly, and real-life lunch ladies are often celebrated figures in their school communities.
