Jenksismyhero Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 02:04 PM) On the late night you can't beat Taco Burrito King, now with a convenient 12 locations. I second Taco Burrito King and there unapologetic rip off of the Budweiser crown. In high school La Bamba's in Champaign was the place to go, but after being away from it for a while and going back it's not really that good.

Soxbadger Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Taco Burrito king on Broadway (I think) really delivered a few weeks ago. But not all of them are created equal. As to the $1 subs, I walked past a store at 10:30 and people were in line, I had no idea why. When I found out it was for $1 sub, I determined that Id rather pay than wait in line.

I'd rather pay $7 for the sub than wait in that f***ing line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 02:03 PM) How many Mexican places are open at 2 in the morning? I'd take Chipotle or Qdoba over JJ everyday, but they're not options most of the time. In Chicago? Enough, that is for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 The chains like Chipotle and Qdoba arent open late, but there are tons of small Mexican places that are open seemingly 24 hours. I know that I had an impressively large enchilada dinner at a Mexican restaurant by the Irving Park Red Line stop at 5 am or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ is decent drunk food, it gets the job done, but Zyggyz Indian or pizza hits the spot better on campus. Of course, Mexican takes the cake in the US, but in Europe it's all about the kebab.

A lot less people there right now for summer school and two Jimmy Johns close by. JJ's the best super late night food. See, I like JJ's when I'm sober, it was never really my drunk food of choice. Give me Pizza or Nachos(the SIU folks know what I'm talking about here) for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controlled Chaos Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Drunk food for me... #1 - Mexican. Where ya sit down, inhale the chips and salsa and wash it down with a steak burrito! A really close #2 - White Castle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a place in Carbondale called "Wise Guys" that was one of the more popular drunk food spots around but everyone HATED it when they were sober. Crazy stuff.

kjshoe04 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 The best drunk food at ISU is a primetime pizza calzone. The slice of American cheese put in with the mozzarella was unbelievably good while drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
