Gotta run for the boarder — Taco Bell is probably at the top when it comes to Mexican fastfood. Right now. a Taco Supreme is for $.99 and note the sign of prop. 106 on the upper left hand corner. It ' s a good time, for the great taste — McDonald ' s probably known as one of the most common fastfood restaurants commercializes its food products with a character named Mac Tonight with a head shaped like a moon, playing the piano. NOIof Time out from school — Tricia Eslares and Monica Geronimo lake a short walk to the Fire House across the street from school during lunch lo share some fries and a drink. Back in time — Hudson ' s Diner located on Parthenia in Northridge is decorated inside with a mural of 50 ' s cars on one wall and real playing guitars on the other. 12 Outside Food Student Life

I ' m stoked — Mosl likely talking about the wave they caught over the weekend. Koty Mukasa. Brad Clark. Chad Johnson and David Lamey participate in that ever popular pastime, hyperbolizing. Do you understand? — Understanding seems to be a problem with the immeasurable amount of argots floating around, changing almost week from week. But good friends like Guillermo Rosales and Juan Martinez need not worry. Sayings Student Life 11

s TUDENT L IFE ' Mm - Dining out for something more exotic, more different, or for more is always the next best thing to good ol ' home cooking Testing your taste F, ating out when there is no food left in the refrigerator, or you ' re too lazy to make anything at all, or just for the fun of it is common to many students and their fam- ilies. My family and I dine out every night with an exception of one night every week. We usually go to Chinese restaurants, mainly Joe Woo ' s. 1 probably eat more Chi- nese food than you (the reporter), said Robbie Hyman, tenth grader. When Big Macs at McDonald ' s are SI. 60 and a Burrito Supreme at Taco Bell are SI. 69, many students have their own reasons why they go to their local fastfood restaurants other than the cost of the food. I go to Master Burgers located at West- ern and Vernon. I like to order a cheese burger, french fries, and a drink because all the food is seasoned and the vegetables are fresh. said Mary Branch, ninth grader. I hang out at Hudson ' s Diner in North- ridge because of the atmosphere. It brings me back to the 50 ' s and makes the food taste better. And I also admire the juke- box, said Paul Etcheverry, ninth grader. From seasoned crickets to raw sea ur- chins, exploring exotic, foreign foods is al- by Koty Mukasa ways a challenge. But there are times when the food looks disgusting, tastes disgusting, or even both. This past summer, I had the chance to travel around the world. Some of the things I experienced when dining where Sea Cu- cumbers, which is a long, black worm with a hard, outer shell that had to be boiled for days in order to make it edible. I also ob- served a peking Duck cooked with its head and feet still atteached to it. I didn ' t even bother putting any of those ' delicasies ' in my mouth, said Rachael Moss, tenth grader. Regardless of how the food looks or tastes, buying food that includes an extra little prize always attracts the younger stu- dents. I liked the Happy Meals at McDonald ' s when they had Berenstein Bears come with the food.. said Patricia Lopez, fourth grader. My favorite Happy Meal from Mcdon- ald ' s is when they gave Hot Wheels which I played with for awhile and probably is at a trash dump somewhere right now, said Narman Murtaza, sixth grader. Revvin ' at Seven Eleven — Da in Kraemer and Stacy Sarna lake advantage of their off campus lunch pass to buy some lunch at the near by Seven Eleven. Dawn is ordering some hot dogs and Stacy is ordering some nachos. Outside Food -t ' Student Life i D
