OT - College Drunk Food

Saw something like this post a few weeks back but... This past weekend, while in Chicago to see The Smoking Popes, I made it out to my college drunk food spot for the first time in 8 years. El Famous Burrito in Summit, IL. Home of the football sized burrito. The prices haven't changed since the early 90's! Its been five days, and I'm still glowing. If you live out that way (there's a few in the Chicagoland area) and haven't been there yet, you need to go! Steak burrito - 4 bucks!

I think Yesterdog is overrated. I had been told they were the "Dog to end all dogs" for the longest time, and when I finally had one...The disappointment train rolled into town. Not much into soggy buns and hot dogs w/no snap to them. It was like a regular cheap hot dog you'd buy in a 8-pack at the store for a $1.25...Maybe I got a bad batch, or Perhaps a noob was working the grill, but I wasn't digging them.

JJ's Hunter's Club on WW bread with mustard, a pickle and large Coke = awesome;

the "el Gordo" (steak, black beans, guac, pico de gallo AND hot salsa) with a large root beer from Panchero's was good, too;

a personal pie Midnight Special from Pizza House with large pink lemonade was better;

2 "white" slices from NYPD, 1 plain, garlic knots and an iced tea = knocking on heaven's door;

but...an order of bacon cheddar cheese fries from Bell's Pizza was the ultimate college drunk food. The ultimate "drunk" food has to be something you wouldn't order sober, or better yet, you may actually fear the consequences of the food when sober. But when intoxicated, nothing in the world tastes better.

The choice for shear quantity of food consumed by drunk college kids had to be the cheap slices at Backroom or In'n'Out on the way home from the Jug, Rick's, or Mitch's.

The ultimate hangover food: Blimpie Burger quint - fried egg, bacon, cheese, mushrooms and onions.

I was actually in Chicago a few weeks ago, staying with a friend in Wrigleyville, and after a night out drinking on Clark St (I think?), we hopped in a cab at 4 AM and told him to take us to food. We ended up at Burrito House, not sure exactly where it is, but they had some amazing drunk food. I'm convinced ordering in spanish helped
