Fresh[man] Advice: Top Five Foods To Order At The Eateries
Editor’s Note: This post has been updated to reflect BuDS changes.
So it’s the first week of school. Your new friends are telling you they want to go eat at the Ivy Room and you think, ‘oh cool, I’ve been eating at the Ratty pretty much 24/7, this is a change!’ So then you order your specialty pizza and you realize that your whole night is basically ruined by the fact that you actually let something this disgusting enter your body.
Never fear! FYBU is here to tell you the Top 5 Foods to order at the eateries to make sure you’re making awesome choices that’ll make all your new friends jealous. Check it out after the jump!
The Blue Room (excluding the imported food from Thayer, which is basically always good)
- The muffins are amazing. While I’m personally partial to the red velvet, they’re all great. One of my best friends has described these muffins as “a religious experience”. My recommendation is to eat them upside down though! Peel the paper and use the crisp top to hold it.
- The ideal make-your-own sandwich (if you are not worried about your health) always contains Chipotle Mayo. No, you don’t get it. Chipotle Mayo EVERY TIME.
- If you are there in the morning, snag a breakfast sandwich because they are ~awesome~ I mean, anything on a croissant is pretty much always good.
- Any cake from La Salles is good, but I personally love the peanut butter chocolate cake
- Fresh produce (just get some chocolate from the Campus Market and a carton of fresh strawberries and you’re all set for an awesome night in)
I Don’t Recommend: The oatmeal bar or the bread pudding, but neither so horrifically gross that I would tell you not to try it. The Blue Room pretty much knows what’s up when it comes to good food.
The Ivy Room Lunch (if you are prepared to spend your life away in points)
- WATERMAN WITH CRANBERRY MAYO. DO IT NOW.
- The grilled cheese is surprisingly good.
- Sometimes they’ll serve chocolate turtle cake in the dessert carousel (which is always full of delicious treats). Yummmm.
- I love the curly fries. You get a deal on them if you order a sandwich and a drink. They may even put cheese on them if you ask.
- In the spring time when you’re in that BBQ mood, if you don’t have friends in the frats you can pop in to the ivy room and order a hot dog for lunch! They’re quite good.
- Curly fries. Not only are they seasoned to perfection but they are $$cheap$$
- Froyo with fresh fruit and chocolate. Yuuuuum.
- The smoothies are great. Lots of people like to put kale in them but don’t because 1) they make your smoothie weirdly brown and 2) just don’t.
- The cookies. They’re super cheap (3 for 1.30) and yummy to boot! I especially like the M&M ones.
- Gotta love a good falafal wrap, right? Get a sundried tomato wrap (or whatever you prefer, but tomato is CLEARLY the best) and choose your own toppings. If you like it spicy, get some hot sauce! Actually, always get the hot sauce.
- Spicy With is god at Brown. Add lots of sauces to really take it to the next level.
- The made-to-order quesadillas are a huge student body favorite, but keep in mind that they’re not served every night (there’s usually a grilled cheese bar on other nights though which is also banging)
- Jo’s is going to have alternative specials. Check it out. Early breakfast is my fave. Be on the look out for tater-tots
- If they’re fresh, go with the fries. Not unlike the spicy with, these are unreal with sauces. My combo of choice is sriracha mayo, avocado mayo, and cranberry sauce. Trust me.
- Jo’s cookies are FANTASTIC. You will develop random cravings for them at strange drunken hours.
- If you love some good hot broth as much as I do, go for the Pho. I like the beef, but the chicken or veggies is also great. Ask for spicy and regular broth if you really want to get it right. Don’t forget to add lime and sriracha sauce.
- The baked pasta which is filling enough to last you two meals if you plan it right.
- The brownies are unreal.
- Sometimes (i.e. Thursdays) ACo will roll out made-to-order pasta. Get said pasta.
- The paninis are really great, just make sure you get it on the nan.
