Of course, the students are not confined to the University. The more adventurous souls may ven- ture out to the local eating establishments and begin the expansion of their true selves. Funny how all that eating can get the best of you. Former students may not recognize the quality of the food that has recently surfaced in our institu- tional food. Many would still probably look askance at an Eat and Run hamburger. After all, old lessons are hard to unlearn. Above, the firehouse Bar-B-Q is the place to go for great food. Below, Long John Silver's has served many a student at noon. tAll Photos by Matt Bowmam Hunger t 23

When Hunger Strikes Food is a wonderful thing. It gives us strength and health, and by middle age it usually gives us a gut as well. I have prepared myself for such and don't want to be disappointed. Students who dine here this year really have no cause to be disappointed either. The food service we have now receives fewer complaints than the last few we've had. Not only that, there is a lot less guess work in the consumption business. By guess work, I mean guessing what really went into that stuff on your plate. Personally, I never found it appetizing to have to dissect everything before it is injested. Takes away from the fun, you know? The food service now provides something for everyone. For a hot plate lunch, a student can go to the third floor of the D. P. Culp Center and enjoy a variety of buffet items at the Main Meal. On the other side of the wall you have your choice of soups, salads, and sandwiches at the Lite Bite. By Tom Kirkland Bennigan's has recently become a very popular place to go with friends. They serve food, drinks, and fun. 22 l Student Life On the second deck, fast food is the order of the day. At the Eat and Run, one can enjoy ham- burgers, chicken, or breakfast items. The student can have it ready and eaten before the Biology final. The Cave, located on the first floor of the Culp Center, is the place to go if you have the time to eat and socialize with your friends. All sorts of delicatessen goodies are there just for the asking. There is a juke-box and television down there for your enjoyment. Burger King: The home of the Whopper and a quick lunch for a lot of students here at East Tennessee State.

V Ierhru Hardee's is the place to go for the Big Deluxe and other good food. Maybe increasing the quality of food has taken some of the mystery out of getting an education. Then again, maybe some of us can do without those kind of mysteries. The eating establishments off campus can be discussed in depth if you have the time. For pizza people there are many choices. You can go to Pizza Hut, Greg's, or even Little Ceaser's. But once you get a pizza, make sure you have enough Certs handy to make your breath kissing sweet. For a deli treat, there are numerous places. The Woodstone Deli is a popular place with good sand- wiches and beer if you want. The Sub-Station II is located on North Roan next to Bennigan's, and Poor Richard's Deli which is close to campus and not that expensive. 24 t Student Life For the traditional hamburger people, the choices are almost endless. Burger King, Wendy's, McDonald's, and Hardee's are just a few of the hamburger places to go during lunch time. Jimmy Buffett had the right idea when he wrote Cheese Burger in Paradise. Of course for the discriminating college student twho has the money to be discriminatingb there are some really nice restaurants around town. Red Lobster, Bennigan's, and Augustine's are a few places where you can go, sit down, be served, and enjoy a meal with someone you care about. The choices are practically endless when you are talking about food in Johnson City. I only wish there were more places to list in this story. 9
