Are you a Denison student? Are you frequently hungry but also completely unwilling to go to Curtis/Slayter/Huffman to pay money to eat stale/limp/flavorless/over-seasoned foods? You're not alone. I've compiled a list of my 11 favorite food options that won't break the bank and do NOT include the daily options we're exposed to on campus. They're within a 20-minute drive from our home on the hill--put them on your to-try list!

1. Whit's Flavor of the Week

If you know anything about Denison students, you know that Whit's is our spirit food.

2. Raising Cane's Chicken Tenders

Pro tip: make it a meal to try the texas toast and fries. (Don't forget the Cane's sauce).

3. Gouma's Chocolates

Cake pops and chocolate-covered marshmallows...need I say more?

4. Blueberry Pancakes from Aladdin's

You can't beat the charming diner breakfast feel.

5. Alfie's Peanut Butter and Jelly

This option is right here in Granville; they have tons of vegan and organic options, too!

6. River Road's Stromboli

This cozy little coffee house has great pastries and espresso, but their stromboli is one of my favorites. You also can't top the homey atmosphere!

7. Uberburger's Sidewinder Fries

THEY DELIVER. (Thank me later).

8. Anything and everything from Taco Dan's

You can't ever go wrong in Denison's favorite hangout spot.

9. General Tso's Chicken From Dragon Village

Their combo plates are also a must.

10. Jolly Pirate Donuts' devil's food donut

JPD is known (and loved) by all. In my opinion, their devil's food is the holy grail of their choices. At less than a dollar a piece, you won't have to dig deep in your pockets for these sweet treats.

11. Spinach Artichoke Dip from the Broadway Pub

I mean just look at this.^ It's a chip's match made in heaven.

Are you hungry yet? Yes? Well what are you waiting for? Go get some good eats, Denisonian. You deserve it.
