Midtown Lunch

One year ago, Munchies opened on the Temple Campus to deliver late night food to hungry college students. Now, they still deliver, or you can pick up from their home base- a trailer on Norris Street. Looking at the online menu of college munchie inspired burger and chicken sandwiches (all $5-7), like the Natural Disaster with steak, chicken, fries, cheez whiz, more cheese, and fried onion,  I felt inspired to be bad.  I decided to BYO- build my own (they call it that, I didn’t make it up).

Burgers come with two smaller patties that are cooked all the way through, some might not like the lack of any pinkness. Instead of a plain bun, the roll was thick, almost bordering too thick, but had more flavor than a regular bun. I bet you want to know what I got on it… Mom, if you are reading, don’t look ahead.

I asked them to top my burger with lettuce, tomato, mozzarella sticks, and buffalo sauce. I think I did a great job building my own; anything is better with buffalo sauce. And why get a cheeseburger when you can get a mozzarella stick burger?

A side order of onion rings was actually exceptional. Two common problems I find with ordering onion rings are that they are bland and the portion is too small. But these tasted great and its crazy how much they served for only $3.

Whether you are in college or not, you are never too old to order college munchie food. You know I won’t judge you.
