Burger.org serves organic and kosher burgers on South Street in a bright, modern setting. Haters of beef will be please to find that veggie, chicken, turkey, and fish burgers are also on the menu. The base price for each burger, regardless of what died to make it, is $6.95. The prices go up from there with the toppings you choose.

Two buszes opened on campus this year on Temple’s campus catering to undergraduate cravings, the Cheese Busz and the Burger Busz. They park close to each other on 13th Street. I am not quite sure why 2 buses were needed for menus that are pretty basic, but it probably helps cut down on lines.

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).

This week Profiled Luncher Lauren checks out a whole bunch of the burger options for half price at Copabanana. (Hint: Call now and make your reservation for lunch today)
Located at 40th & Spruce, Copa Banana serves standard bar fare with a Mexican and Caribbean focus. Though the dive-like atmosphere scares off some, Copa has become one of my guilty pleasures. One friend is constantly making fun of me for “my Copa obsession,” but I explain to him that it’s all about managing your expectations. You can’t go into Copa expecting a Village Whiskey burger, but if you expect good, greasy bar food, then that’s what you’re going to get. I’m a fan of Copa’s fajitas, nachos, and margaritas, but I didn’t realize until recently that their burgers are half price on Wednesdays from 11:30 AM – 4:30 PM. Apparently, I’m the only person in University City who didn’t know because the restaurant has been packed each time I’ve gone. Even if you’re going for a quick lunch, I would suggest calling ahead to make a reservation.

Back when I was living in NYC I know I could count on one of the handful of restaurants that specialized in mac and cheese to satisfy the craving. While we may not have that Philly, Misconduct Tavern gets the job done just as well, while offering the added benefit of a lovely draught beer list. Besides the beer list and slightly upscaled put fare, this nautical themed bar has televisions for the sports lover and well prepared cocktails.

I won’t lie, I have hit up National Mechanics for a late night dance party or two. And maybe while cutting a rug I thought to myself, “but how is the food?” National Mechanics claims to have the best veggie burger in the world. I love vegetables, but I can’t remember the last time I had a veggie burger. But with a claim like that, I’m game. But will it really win me over and make me not miss the beef?
