Oh the memories...

Think back to freshman year, the first time you ever discovered that ordering a buffalo chicken pizza at two in the morning was an entirely achievable dream. From two-for-one calzone deals, to the horrendously nicknamed chicken nuggets served at Butterfield, URI students never go hungry. There are certain fo�ods and restaurants that your average Rhody would definitely count as a staple part of his/her diet at some point or another, and here they are:

1. Albie's

At some point you've definitely fallen victim to trying one of Albie's ridiculous sandwich creations, named "PHAT sandwiches." The restaurant ambitiously stuffs their sandwiches with all of your guiltiest pleasures. I'm talking mozz sticks, french fries, tater tots and onion rings, all tucked between two pieces of bread. Although your scale may have been disappointed, your taste buds definitely weren't.

2. Kabuki

Because who doesn't love sushi? Your wallet, that's who. But you don't care because it's just so good and hey, you just studied for five hours, you deserve it!�

3. "Butt Nugs"

I've always cringed at the unofficial name given to the infamous chicken nuggets served at Butterfield dining hall, but Rhody students go crazy for them. "Lets go get some butt nugs" is not an uncommon phrase to hear from your fellow students when living on campus.

4. Mozz sticks.

The mozzerella sticks at Butterfield are also a dining hall fave, even though they don't have a quirky nickname�. ��

5. International Pocket

This place has got your hookup for some of the most delicious gyros, grape leaves, and falafel around. They've got a ton of rockin' salads and sandwiches. Plus, they always offer to give out samples, and who doesn't love samples?!

�6. Iggy's

This place screams Rhode Island, and URI students are huge supporters. Iggy's offers all of your fried seafood dreams, plus some super tasty burgers, and of course, the infamous fluffy, delicious dough boys.

7. Hope Dining Hall weekend brunch.

As a freshman, this place was the ultimate cure for a rough Friday night. Something about their greasy home fries just seemed to work wonders. Even as juniors, my housemate and I would find ourselves laying in bed at 11am on a Saturday, longing for a guest swipe into the dining hall.

8. Brickley's

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! URI students scream for a more specific type of ice cream though, and that would be the delectable homemade ice cream served at Brickey's.

9. Smoothies

The smoothies served in the basement of the Union and the Rhody market are definitely a favorite among URI goers. They probably aren't actually very healthy, but they're definitely delicious.

10. Crazy Burger

URI students go crazy for Crazy Burger, and with good reason! This unique and extremely creative restaurant was even featured on diners, drive-ins and dives.

11. T's.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and it's also the most delicious meal of the day when you go to T's. The wait is always crazy, but definitely always worth it once you're finally stuffing those chocolate chip pancakes into your mouth.

12. I-Zone

Of all the popular foods consumed at URI, the calzones provided at I-zone are quite possibly the most widely reveled. They're simple, delicious, fairly cheap, and served until 3 in the morning. And although they are open for all normal hours of the day as well, the most popular time of calzone consumption seems to be in the wee hours of the night. Oh, and they also sell pints of Ben and Jerry's.

With all this food around, it's probably good that URI is built on a giant hill. Stay hungry my fellow Rhodies!
