The Queen is doing way better than you Burger King, take some notes.
@fiveguys
I've only ate at Five Guys under five times and I say this because that is how powerful their fries are.
@steaknshake
They should change their name to Shake n' Fries, much smoother and more fitting.

The crunch, the flavor, the seasoning, I'm definitely ready for some Freddy's.
On July 18th we celebrate the deep-friend potato treat paired with your favorite burger, chicken fingers or eaten alone. Too bad it's in the middle of the summer because #SummerBod.
We all knew about National Coffee Day, but National Drink Beer Day? I don't see that as a problem.
This one on the other hand...this one may be a problem.
This holiday was created to bring awareness to the fact that 2.5 billion people lack proper sanitation and is recognized by an official United Nations resolution.
Turkey bacon? Pork bacon? What's your favorite type of bacon?
Who doesn't love a compliment?
The thing is, if you've never tried Nutella, don't. Don't do it. If you do, then you'll want more and then you'll never be able to stop. Nutella is addicting.
If I had to choose between waffles and pancakes, I'd pick waffles all the way!
Ok, let's be real. If we did this we'd be fired.
In this summer heat I feel like No Pants Day should be everyday.
I once saw a tweet that said "My biggest fear is marrying into a family that willingly runs a 5K the morning after Thanksgiving dinner". Let's just say I agree and this isn't my favorite holiday.
The name of the holiday makes it pretty obvious how you're supposed to celebrate. There isn't a lot of information on this official holiday's origins, but there's speculation that it has to do with a TV show from the 1950s called "Teddy Bears' Picnic".
You can thank the good folks at Wellcat Holidays for this one! While this is something you should be doing every day (in my humble opinion), July 13th is the day to celebrate it to the max! Dress up like a Stormtrooper, tell everyone to live long and prosper, or let the world know that traveling through space and time is your shtick. Fly your geek flag with pride and remind everyone that you solemnly swear that you are up to no good.
Maybe "embracing geekness" isn't your thing, but you know what probably is? French fries. Who doesn't love french fries? According to holidaysinsights.com, this holiday came to fruition around the early 2000s. Sure, it's not something that's widely recognized, but any day that gives you a reason to eat something delicious is something worth celebrating.
Moon Day is meant to honor the day that man first stepped on the moon in 1969. Make this a day that you party under the light of the silvery moon! Unless, of course, you're behind the theory that the U.S. faked the moon landing. In which case, give a round of applause for great cinematography.
This one is like National French Fry Day–tt's not officially recognized, but it's well-known. Grab a couple of friends and feel less guilty about taking shots one after the other in the spirit of celebration.
Dogs deserve love every day, but this day is one that mutts can shine. If you have a mutt for a pup or know somebody with one, make sure to give them some extra love today!

Luckily, there are four Baton Rouge locations of this lovely restaurant. Brewbachers has the reputation of one of the best burgers in Baton Rouge. Personally, I will be found swooning over the cheese fries. Every fry is perfectly smothered in cheese; it's honestly a life-changing experience. A lot of their orders are take out, so don't be afraid to call in for a night in.

To be honest, I have never been to BJ's for a full meal, it's all about the dessert! In case you haven't heard, they have the most amazing pizookies. A pizookie is a cookie in the style of pizza. BJ's has many different variations of cookies, such as monkey bread, gluten-free, and classics like chocolate chip. They also have specials where you can split two flavors in one pan, order mini pizookies, or my personal favorite, three mini pizookies. This way you can try a lot of the different kinds.

The Big Cheezy food truck has been the biggest blessing to my freshman year. It is conveniently placed in the parking lot of Tigerland, the perfect spot to finish off your night out. Their Cajun crawfish mac and cheese won first place at the Baton Rouge Soul Food Fest. But my weakness is the original grilled cheese sandwich. I would suggest following their Instagram (@bigcheezybr) to see their hours.

Coffee Call is a cute coffee and beignet shop that is about 10 minutes away from LSU's campus. It actually stays open until 2:00 a.m. during the week and 24 hours on the weekends, which is perfect for those late-night cravings. This is a great place for a chill night with a couple of friends to get some light homework done. If you go late at night, the restaurant stays pretty quiet so you can get a lot done. They also serve po'boys, soups, and other lunch specials from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Walking into Louie's it has a '50s diner vibe and you are greeted with the smell of bacon and burgers. Louie's has been in Baton Rouge since 1941. So, it has been an LSU tradition for many, many years. This place serves breakfast 24/7 and takes tiger cash, what more can you ask for?

Don't get it confused, even though salad is in their name, their milkshakes are a must when going to Fat Cow. Especially with the hot weather in Baton Rouge, these milkshakes are the perfect way to cool down your afternoon. They have classics like chocolate and vanilla, fun flavors like pralines and cream and bananas foster, and they have seasonal flavors. My personal favorite is their king cake milkshake during Mardi Gras.

Pluckers is always a must after a night out in Tigerland. If you haven't had their holy mac or frachos, you should definitely go as soon as possible. Holy mac is sticks or fried macaroni and cheese. Yes, it sounds super unhealthy, but trust me, you need this in your life. Frachos is nachos, but they replaced the tortilla chips with fries. This restaurant is also open until 2:00 am, so you can get your fried cravings late at night.

Making a stop at the original Raising Canes is a must in Baton Rouge. The chicken dinners are incomparable to any fast food around campus! Adding the canes sauce (which is also great on crawfish) just puts the icing on the cake.
