This is my tribute to University WayǃÓThe Ave. I canǃÙt get my education on the Ave, but I can fill my stomach up good. Here are my top five food joints.
5. Orange King ÇƒÏ Their teriyaki burger ainǃÙt touching the elementary memories I have of the teriyaki burgers at McDonaldǃÙs, but itǃÙs pretty good. And thereǃÙs this Mexican guy that fakes a Japanese accent. Please believe me.
4. Chipotle ÇƒÏ I avoided this place so long because it was previously tied to McDonaldǃÙs. Dumb reason, and IǃÙve been missing out.
3. Mongolian Grill ǃÏWeekends only because of the food coma. They fell off a little by restricting the all you can eat to seconds only. I loved eating all I could. Still, good food can be had and they serve the curry that I love so much.
2. Gyrocery – Second worst pun on the Ave. They hook up the meat. And I enjoy my meat. ThereǃÙs no reason to go to Pita Pit with this a few blocks down. Feels like Agrabah in there. Which I just found out five seconds ago isnǃÙt a real city. Damn.
1. Hawaiian BBQ ÇƒÏ ItǃÙs got a special place in my heart, because it was the only place on the Ave I remembering eating at before college. Last year it seemed like the best kept secret and this year it seemed like the secret got out. IǃÙm glad business is up, since the dude running it has always been real cool. I question the Hawaiian-ness of the place, but the food and portions are top notch.
U-Dublicious ÇƒÏ Seatteribble pun.
The Taiwanese Place ÇƒÏ We used to beast it up at this place. ItǃÙd be an easy number two, but itǃÙs gone now. Remember the Family Guy episode where Peter discovers that the Drunken Clam is replaced by some horrible shadow of its former self? That was my first day of school.
New China Express ÇƒÏ We order out at our favorite place but tend to not eat in on account of the raging manager that gives us the evil eye for wanting separate checks. ItǃÙs off the list but itǃÙd probably knock Orange King off if we ate in there more. Also, wasnǃÙt this the name of some jobber WWF tag team?
