There is no doubt in my mind about this list. It is flawless. I couldn't imagine a more fantastic day.
Breakfast - Hot Pastrami Sandwich from the Broken Yolk
Lunch - Philly Cheese Steak with extra cheese from Marquette Gyros
Dinner - Tex Mex and a large cheese curd from the Dog Haus
-
uh, where's real chili on this list?
oh yeah, that would be at 2:30 am.
-
In my four years at MU, I've never heard of anyone getting a philly from Gyros. It's all about their burgers.
-
Um sobelmans?
-
A day without REAL CHILI is a day without sunshine
-
I was strictly referring to on Marquette's campus. sobelmans is not on campus. Real Chili is dead! and as far as the Philly cheese steak goes.... don't knock it until you try it. I was totally against it at first but now I truly understand the joy that it can give.
-

+1. and the Dogg Haus is ridiculously over-priced.
-
Is dogg house on the corner of 17th and wells?? If so, back when is in school it was a convenience store with beer. A friendly one. Over the summer before junior year we built much furniture from the surprisingly sturdy cases of Old Milwaukee in Campus Town. Impressive TV stand, no doubt.
Marquette GYROS, were fantastic. Food, doubled as a cologne for a day after. At one apartment, after eating it or 80% eating it, we'd throw out the leftovers into the hallway of the apartment cause we didnt' want the dirt stank of the gyros in our apartment..
Dairy Queen Chicken strip baskets were a staple for awhile
EDIT also that drunk window at ziggy's with cheeseburgers
-
Until I can once again get a cheddar burger with fried mushrooms, listening to Led Zeppelin on the box, from Wales on Wells, there is no thing as a "perfect MU food day."
-
Perfect food day needs Real Chili, a gyro from Gyros, Sobelman's (if you count it), and Angelo's pepperoni pizza.
-
I will have an order of the large cheese curds and small cheese curds. Thank you!
-
Um sobelmans?

What is the Broken Yolk?
-
Quite possibly the worst list of MU food I've seen.
12:00AM: Whatever is left over from Hegarty's kitchen before close. Usually a plate of fries is comped on the house.
2:30AM: Almost two bowls of Real Chili. The second bowl often goes unfinished as cracker throwing ensues, jackets are generally left behind as well.
11:30AM: Taco Bell from 21st and Wisconsin. Generally, you order way too much and have to run back to your apartment before sharting your pajamas.
4:30PM: Double Sobleman Burger. The hunger pangs return after spending the last several hours with the blinds shut, with several trips to the bathroom. A double Sobelman Burger with a pitcher of Miller Lite preps you for the night.
10:30PM: Marquette Gyro, with extra sauce.
3:00AM: Put a frozen pizza into the oven, only to leave to pass out and let it burn setting the fire alarm off. Try to salvage a few bites, generally more effort than reward.

I have to agree. What's wrong with you?
-
I disagree with the original post. If I was still in school and was loaded (very poor alwasy) this would be the #1 day
Basketball game day.....
1.Real chili for breakfast before hitting up a pregame kegger
2. Quick Jimmy Johns for lunch before goin to Murphys
3. Angelos Pepperoni Pizza for dinner
4. Marquette Gyro after bars and before bed...or before the after bar party...

What is the Broken Yolk?
It's mainly a breakfast place in the same building as the 2040 Lofts (20th and Wisconsin). Decent food, decent prices, crowded as hell on weekend mornings. That building also has Sal's Pizza.

If it is after 2002, it is new to me, so I am assuming 2040 lofts and Sal's would fall into that category.
Is it in the block before Taco Bell and Michaels? (If both of those are even still there.)
-
No love for the hooters that used to be in the Grand Ave Mall? Always choice running into a girl you recognized from your Poli Sci class.

My friends and I were fans of Jose's up on Well's which was Home of the Burrita which were named after the teams of the NFC Central.

I'm guessing you're in bed by 2:00 if you think Real Chili is dead.

Yes it is, and yes those are still there. 2040 is an upscale expensive new apartment building. Sal's is a NY style pizza place.

I saw mention of the restaurant, but no love for the Dagwood at Michaels at 3am????
Where else can you see a fight between two real life pimps? If you haven't been to Michael's restaurant on a Friday or Saturday night you haven't experience MU to the fullest.

Just make sure you remember to prepay after 9pm. Oh how I miss the Monte Cristo at Michaels.

I was always a fan of the Marquette Special ($1.99 for 2 eggs, hash browns and toast) with a side of biscuits and gravy at around 4.30am. All of that for under $5.00.
-
I lived a block from Michael's and would occasionally end up there with a few roommates for Biscuits & Gravy. They would usually be out of biscuits, though, but we would still get it with any bread they had to offer. It was the gravy that was key at 3 am.
-
I remember taking my dad to Michael' in the late 80s and seeing the horror in his eyes when the biscuits and gravy arrived -- or as he called it, "the grease trap."
Real Chili still stands the test of time IMO. Still remember eating nachos at Amigos with all of the bums at bar time, Hoy Ping, Guliani's pizza (with the freshman hurling everywhere because any fake ID worked there), and Chicago's (23rd/Wells?) for anything fried.
Kudos to Sultan of South Wayne for jogging my memory of Wales on Wells -- awesome cheese fries and burgers. It was much better as the one-room shack before it expanded and disappeared.
All of the aesthetic changes over the years have really transformed the campus, but I still miss that dumpy campus littered with bars and grime. RIP Avalanche, ODs, Ardmore, OPs, Gym Bar (real), Murphys, Green Tree, State House, Good Time Charlies, Tomahs, Conways, Glocca Morra.

Oh man I knew I couldn't be the only other one to have witnessed this on more than one occasion.

Food brings sooo many wonderful things to soo many people. I'm so hungry after reading through this thread.

Conways is still around. Last I heard they have either live music or karaoke during the week one night, I can't imagine what that is like.

I think that could only be described as awesome.

Thats just dumb. The original list at least was realistic and should be etched in stone somewhere. You should be ashamed. I consider you the steve bartman of eating food. I hope u burn your mouth a little bit on your oven pizza.

I should be ashamed? Not realistic? Buddy, do yourself a favor and keep your vagina off the board.

Grow up "guy". You've probably never enjoyed half the things TexMex has during his life. The Hot Pastrami sandwhich is God' gift to man. The Gryo's Philly Cheesesteak is like making love to a beautiful woman. And the Dogg Haus TexMex is like doing cocaine off a young woman's firm buttocks.
You are old. No one goes to Real Chili anymore. Its time has past.
I would just add Qdoba to TexMex's list.

Old? I graduated in 2008. I was on campus last month and Chili was packed.
I guess you 'kids' can keep your crappy food. Qdoba? Wow, real good pick there.

The fact that you darn kids don't go to Real Chili doesn't mean its time has passed, but that you have terrible taste.

Actually the philly cheesesteak at Gyro's is awful. Have you ever had one from Philly Way in Milwaukee. Nuff said. And as far as Real Chili goes....it's still and will continue to be a staple of Marquette food now and forever. I only graduated a year and a half ago, so I doubt the times have changed much since then. The dogg haus is pretty good and worth a try if you have never had it. As far as pizza goes, Angelo's is still king. I crave Angelo's pizza once a week as well as real chili once a week. Those are the two most memorable food items Marquette has to offer. I think it will stay that way for some time to come.
Michael's is an experience and it has everything a random diner has to offer from good geasy food, to extremely weird people at all hours of the day, to raggidy, cracked out waitresses who hate their job. You'll see a wide array of people in there, that's for sure. It's worth going to once or twice a year. I think that covers my opinion.
And oh yeah, don't ever eat the annex just because it is convenient. It will take a half hour to get a waiter, another hour to get your cold food, and then another 45 minutes to pay your bill. Drinking there is more than adequate.
Peace.
-
While I was at MU...(over my 5 years there)
morning: Big Apple Bagels with shmear or butter and a copy of the Chicago Tribune
lunch: a Taste of Philly cheesesteak or that BBQ place in campus town
(both gone)
dinner: wings from Pizza Joe's, pizza from Pizza Pi's, burgers from Marq Gyros, or a trip down to BW3s on Water

Is anyone else mad that China Garden is no more? In all honesty it was always horrible leaving your body, but it was so glorious entering. Nothing is better then all you can eat sweet and sour chicken. Also it was such a close walk from Schroeder which made it convenient for my floor mates and I. I know many of you will probably over react and get on here ripping me for speaking of China Garden in this fashion, but Chinese food is just sooo good.

I liked it better as Super China but China Garden Sundays were awesome. One meal for the day.
-
IMO, for China Garden to be good, you needed 2 of the following 3 conditions:
--You're hammered (and they closed at 9 I believe, so start drinking fast.)
--You're absolutely starving
--The buffet was hot and fresh
I found luck a couple times with going in with a big group for the buffet about 30 minutes to close. They were so happy for the business that they asked us what buffet food we would especially like and whip up new batches for us.
Otherwise, meh. Good riddance.

MarqPTM found the Philly Way our senior year and it is delicious. I highly recommend it.
And what the hell is wrong with you people think Chili is dead?

Can't agree more with the Philly Way. It's on like 2nd before national or around there, I forget.
Real Chilli is solid. I'm not a huge Real Chilli fan, but to keep it off the list or to say that it is "dead" is absurd!

There is one on Third and Wells too. They only deliver during the day.

michaels is not to bad for the late late night food. In order to go to michaels you should be walking home from the harp and shamrock at 9am on a saterday or sunday morning. Also the broken yolk is always a safe bet. Good food and good people working there

Side note: The Philly Way only takes cash.

I work downtown and now find myself walking around six blocks to the Real Chili on Wells & Jefferson about once a week to feed my craving for it. That one doesn't take plastic (unless they just started it this week).

Breakfast: Who eats breakfast? Snickers bar and diet Pepsi.
Lunch: Wales on Wells cheddar burger with a side of cheese fries. Mmmmmmm, chheeeeeessse.
Dinner: (and this one has been driving me crazy trying to remember the name) There was this pizza place out around 27th and Wisconsin that had a 16", 3 topping, plus a 2 liter for $6.99. I can smell it but I can't remember the name. Damn.
After bar: I was more of an Amigo's Chimichanga guy than a real chili guy. If there was a conversation to be had, then a visit to the IHOP around 20th and Wisconsin.

This will drive me crazy now...they opened a bar on Water Street back in the early 90's, which is the current home of MacGillycuddy's...anyone?

Is the pizza place you speak of Primas??? The pizza and garlic rolls rocked.
Wales on Wells - great memories. The pizza WoW not so hot, but the burger of the original place - just awesome

Lucci's Pizza

Nachos from Amigos
Cousins Cheese Steak

Since I started working at MU the Broken Yolk has been a pleasent suprise. Good food for a good price. Their cheese steak is by far one of the best things that they serve. It is also one of the favorite spots for the Basketball team to eat as you can usually see just about any of the players there at lunch time ordering food.
-
Lucci's!! Finally.
-
Lucci's delivered to my room about 4 days a week back in '84. I remember getting a checking account at M&I and 9 out of 10 checks written that year were payable to Lucci's. They had a special pepperoni pizza combo where the grease would collect in the curled up crisp pepperoni. The garlic product was garlic puffs back then....basically fried dough doused in garlic powder and more grease. A liter of RC was also included in the deal. After having this pizza I never once returned to Angelos (no offense). In fact, I have only been inside Angelo's Pizza once --- and that was the first day I was ever in Milwaukee.
-
First Snow storm of season, walk into O'D eatery where they are serving Roast Beef and Mashed Potatoes I don't' care what sodexho hole they came from. That way the perfect meal at the perfect time, especially for a Virginia boy during his first winter in Wisconsin.
-
Alle-Lucci's ......that's it!!!!! Vielen Dank. Now I can finally sleep. Yes, the grease pooling in the pepperoni......mmmmmm.
