D'Lish - 1135 E. Apache Blvd.

D'Lish provides a healthy alternative to 'fast food' without sacrificing taste or convenience for people on-the-go. They offer organic and all natural fresh ingredients, including locally grown produce when available. D'Lish chooses to reduce an impact on the environment by recycling and using earth friendly products. I recommend the protein burger; it will fill you up.

The Original ChopShop Co. - 222 E. University

The Original ChopShop Co. is for the person who appreciates fresh flowers, the warmth of the sunshine on their face, and is reminded daily of the refreshing feeling that comes along with a healthy lifestyle and spirit. The environment is second to nothing. They provide people with the familiarity of family recipes, combined with the excitement to share a surprising twist of ingredients.

Essence Bakery - 825 W University Dr.

This boutique bakery and café has had great publicity from The Arizona Republic, Phoenix Magazine and Arizona Highroads. Essence Bakery's talents are rooted in tradition and technique, as head Chef Eugenia lived, worked and trained in Paris, perfecting European favorites like pastries, croissants, and French macarons. Essence’s use of local and organic produce and procurement methods whenever possible results in tremendously satisfying tastes and textures. Sounds good to me!

Caffe Boa is pricier, but you will not be disappointed.

Postino Annex - 615 S College Ave

ASU’s red brick schoolhouse-turned-art-studio-turned-wine-cafe is an ultimate adaptive reuse project. In the shadow of Sun Devil Stadium and at the gateway to campus, Postino Annex responsibly restored and tricked out this midcentury gem with its trademark garage doors, a huge indoor/outdoor bar, and two intimate patios.

Cornish Pasty Company - 960 W University Dr

As soon as the Cornish Pasty Company opened in January of 2005 in Tempe it was a roaring success. Yes, there’s always a friendly atmosphere and a great drink to be had at the bar, but the real secret to success was sticking to the original Cornish ingredients for the "Oggie," the classic pasty that is still savored in Cornwall and all over the UK today. Try something different and head over to this joint.

The Chuckbox - 202 E. University Drive

Probably my favorite on the list, The Chuckbox has been the valley's favorite place for mesquite-grilled hamburgers for over 35 years. I used to go here with my dad before ASU Football and Basketball games growing up. Burgers, sandwiches, and a variety of other things are cooked right in front of you over an open flame, and then you pile on your own fixings. It is a staple of ASU and the greater Tempe community.

Oregano’s Pizza Bistro - 523 W University Dr

Walk through the door at Oregano's and take a step back in time, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the 1950s and a casual, lively atmosphere. Oregano's offers a huge selection of Chicago-style deep-dish or thin-crust pizzas with an extensive list of toppings, wings, pasta dishes, sandwiches, salads and a selection of dreamy, half-pound Original Pizza Cookies topped with vanilla bean ice cream.

La Bocca Urban Pizzeria - 699 S Mill Ave

La Bocca is a trendy spot serving locally sourced pasta, pizza, plus dozens of wines by the glass. It has a beautiful outside patio and is a little more expensive like Caffe Boa. Guys, this is a perfect place to dress up and take your girl on a date. The Bruschetta as an appetizer is to die for, and the ambiance itself is first class.

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers - 960 E University Dr

I could not leave this one off the list. Cane's is well-known by ASU students, unlike some of the others on this list. It is the perfect meal after a long day when you need somewhere to go with friends, or coming back from a party. The "Box Combo" is the way to go. You get 4 Chicken Fingers, Fries, Coleslaw, Texas Toast, Cane's Sauce, and a Regular Drink all at a great price. Check it out!

I hope you aren't too hungry after reading this list, but I hope you're more informed about the culinary potential around ASU.
