7/13 What are the restaurants/food places you miss most from UC Berkeley?
\_ Chez Panisse. Honey wine at the Ethiopian restaurant (Blue Nile?)
\_ Wasn't this place extrodinarily overpriced for small portions?
\_ My sole experience with Blue Nile involved cockroaches.
\_ Santa Fe Bar and Grill, TC Garden, and Yokohama Station.
\_ There used to be this place in Durant Square commonly referred to
as "The Greasy Burger Place".
\_ Originally that was Nation's - until sometime in the
early 90's.
\_ and then it became Golden Bear Burger before it
disappeared
\_ flint's
\_ where and what kind of food?
\_ bbq on shattuck
\_ didn't they close down? flint's on south san pablo was better
before it burned.
\_ barney's
\_ where and what kind of food?
\_ shitty, dry, and overpriced hamburgers
\_ well you CAN ask for the medium rare which helps a lot
\_ The last time I went there, I did, but was told that
they can't cook it any rarer than medium. I haven't
been back since. God save anyone who orders a well-
done Barney's burger.
\_ I thought they just wouldn't do rare...
\_ They didn't _use_ to be this way. And their milkshakes
actually used to be generous. Ah.. the old days.
\_ zach's
\_ intermezzo
\_ that korean bbq place and japanese snacks in same location
\_ steve's house of charred meat?
\_ I miss it for the H07 4ZN CH1X I used to eat there with.
\_ do people miss sun hong kong? I know, the food isn't that great,
but do you miss it anyway?
\_ I miss it for the H07 42N CH1X I used to eat there with.
\_ 5P3111NG C0RR3C73D
\_ 5P3111NG C0RR3C73D [ 4ZN -> 42N ]
\_ i only miss the mongolian beef chow fun and the seafood chow fun
\_ I miss being able to get jook at 1:45 AM. -oj
\_ yeah, open till 3am.
BTW, there is a restaurant or two open near Ranch 99 pretty
late.
\_ have you tried the food at CSP? well, at least they're open
pretty late
\_ Which Ranch 99?
\_ the one near Central Ave. off highway 80.
\_ It's truly amazing how far that place fell considering
how reasonable it was when it first opened.
\_ fat slice and bongo burger (they had cheap yet decent tasting falafel)
\_ bongo rocks. was in the area a short time ago. just had to stop
in for old time's sake.
\_ Bongo kicks ass!
\_ Bongo burgers #1!
\_ Anyone ever missed Stuffed Inn?
\_ yes! I also miss Top Dog and reasonably priced crepe places.
and La Mediteranee (the Berkeley one is way better than the
SF ones), Nakapan, Cheese Board Pizza, and of course Zach's.
\_ Yes & High Tech Burritto
\_ In four years of school, I never once ate at
High Tech. I regret it because my brother and
his friends keep telling me how good (and cheap)
it is.
half the salary. for a while anyway.
\_ Stuffed was OK, but I actually liked the sandwiches from Seven
Thieves on the corner even better. Their seeded rolls are
just amazingly tasty.
\_ i miss IB's Hoagies and La Burrita. LB because it was so cheap and
decent and open late, and IB's because it was cheap (at first neway)
and it's not easy to find that type of hoagie. What's a good hoagie
place in south bay? the one in mccarthy ranch doesn't cut it.
\_ if you want good hoagies all the time, cheap , move to
the east coast. you will quickly realize, however that you
have been screwd badly as far as fast food goes, though
since all burritos are about ten dollars and totally suck.
\_ What's a hoagie?
\_ hoagie == grinder == sub == hero; regional differences
\_ Yeah I miss La Burrita. It was cheap and had decent food. Best
of all it was across the street from Bongo Burger. So I could
have one for lunch and one for dinner.
\_ man, you peasants ate some shitty food in your time
at Berkeley. Me...? I miss little Chicago deep dish
pizza in its prime as a competitor to Zachary's.
Tasty deep dish, and cheaper than Zach's too. It's
still there on University, but they've gone downhill.
Don't know about West Coast pizza as a favorite
late night delivery hole (they operate out of the same
kitchen).
ahh...the good old days. and not so long ago.
working life, aside from the money, hella sucks,
don't you all think?
\_ well it's not so much the working life, but more that
i have to actually pay for everything and hence work.
i work more than i want to...tech jobs are hard to do
part time. i wish i could just work half the time for
half the salary. for a while anyway. that would rock.
or even 60%...3 days work, 4 days off
\_ Your wife might not appreciate your lackadaisical
ways, especially if it affects the amount of alimony
she gets after the divorce.
\_ Too much pizza is *very* unhealthy as I discovered
sophomore year. That's when I switched to La Burrita
and Bongo Burger. They were about all I could afford
as I was working to put myself through school.
As far as working is concerned, I rather like it, but
I've probably been quite lucky (I was with cisco during
\_ before my time, $0.99 for one
slice of cheese was the cheapest
I remember (I guess its sub one
dollar)
the boom years and one of the companies I worked for
was acquired by sun) so I haven't developed a dislike
for working.
\- anyone miss Heidelberg [chinese-german]? i guess i
miss the silver ball and the comic book store that was
across the street. how can you seriously miss sun hk or
la burrita? i miss sub one dollar arnell's slices. --psb
\_ before my time, $0.99 coupon for
a slice of cheese at Fat Slice
is the cheapest I can remember.
(I guess it is technically sub
one dollar)
\_ it's hard to jusdge inflation
by fatslice prices, since i
think they only increase in
25 cent increments.
\_ That's like over 15 years ago! Sheesh, youre OLD.
\_ Old Motd Saying: PSB is older than OCFs equipment
\_ what about those baked potato huts on sproul plaza? Do they still
have those today?
\_ I'm surprised no one has mentioned Fat Slice or Blondie's.
\_ Fat Slice is mentioned above (along with Bongo Burger)
\_ You are?
\_ My sole experience with Blondie's happened the second
day of freshman year. I was about to walk into Blondie's
when I bumped into my cousin. I asked her if she wanted
get a slice of pizza at this place and she said she
didn't care much for cockroach as a topping. I never
set foot in that place. Years later I was told by a
friend that he found a cockroach shell in a slice of
pizza from Blondie's and I was glad I never ate there.
\_ Top Dog... also Misha's from Durant Square (back when they served
their spicy chicken sandwich) |
