OT: Favorite Drunk Food at UConn

[Guapo]

Wally with puds. Depending on the drunkeness, corn fritters as well.

I loved Wally's. Especiall the corn fritters.

I'm honestly shocked it hasn't received more love in this thread.

Wallys didn't exist for many of us on here just like you youngins have no idea what store 24 is or skeletons closet

The food truck across from the jungle (really ahead of its time). I believe it was originally Irma's then changed to Food for Thought. Turkey grinder.

Wings at Bidwell Tavern or the white pizza from across the street from McMahon... Damn I'm old I can't remember the name of the place.

This is going to sound like a really lame guess, but was that Ray's Pizza?

 

[Guapo]

In case anyone was wondering, the corn fritters from Wally's are deep fried balls of creamed corn, which peers so well with all booze.

A thank you to everyone that has responded to this and, by all means, keep on posting!!

If anyone says "blaze pizza" than their state of Connecticut education has failed them.

Continue on, husky comrades...

What is wrong with Blaze? This is drunk food we are talking about, not Frank Pepe's pizza.
Blaze, for what it is, is really not bad. I don't know what you're talking about.

I think your state of Connecticut education has failed you if you don't know the correct usage of "than" vs. "then".

I'd be curious to know when people graduated, because DP Dough was never anyone's decision when I was there (2012).

DP is horrible..but it was free and 2am

 

[JSM1970]

Store 24 $1 frozen burritos, those were nasty

What was the place you could buy the $2 fried chicken meal and $4 Piels bar bottles?

Think that is long gone

At UConn from 06-10

DP by a mile with Wings Over a distant second.

Discovering I had a spare $7 to spend on a Chick-N-Bacon Zone after a long night of trying (and failing) to hook up at Thirsty's was simply magical.

This would only apply to the very very recent UConn grads, but Pizza Mike's was an underrated choice to get pizza

How the hell did i forget ...

"Tsin Tsin. How you like?"

1998-2002

Lol full disclosure, I was drunk when I wrote this

Am I the only one who thought Wally's was a lukewarm foil bag of salty, soggy chicken scraps? How can you guys even consider that a top option at UConn?

On a side note, co soldering the student population at UConn, the food selections really are limited. How has no one tried to pry the insane monopoly Wings and Sgt/DP have on campus away from them?

As for DP Dough vs Sgt Peps debate. Sgt Pep's had better calzones, while DP Dough's delivery boys were known to make special "deliveries" in your order bags if you used the right phrases. So it's DP Dough for me.

I've always thought you could make a lot of money in Storrs if you opened a cheap Chinese place that delievered

 

[UC1995]

Bidwell Tavern kitchen is bad... friends worked there and said drink there but do not eat the food.

Things might have changed but back in the 90/ their wings were great... ah the generational gap!

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Bidwell has gone dramatically downhill the last few years. I think new chef/owner? Other posters here have the details.

No wings are fine.. the problem was that the kitchen was a health trap

there is a place that delivers, but only to campus, and only until like 9 or 10.

Q ring pizza from Teds.

It's not good pizza, but it's great drunk food. That and peps calzones were my favorites after nickel.

DP Dough was really good my freshman year but then it went downhill

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Cheeseburger sub from Ted's.

There's no other acceptable answer.

 

[Milo65]

2 Wawa hot dogs with unlimited toppings for 99 cents.

These and Thumper's happy hour buffets kept me alive in 88-92.

Yes! Another old guy! 87-91. Don't forget Gumby's or Oscars Pizza. TNT express to Nickle Nite!

Six patties! No weekend meal plan in the late eighties, I would live off of a Ted's cheeseburger sub and quarts at Ted's on weekends.

Really wish I had known that during my time there

it wasnt that good so you didn't miss anything.

The place by Big Y wasn't bad but they didn't deliver

 

[BUConn10]

There's a weird business vacuum around the entirety of Storrs/Mansfield. Wouldn't surprise me to hear it's due to the old stubborn locals, they tried to stop half a dozen projects that popped up during my time there.
