Big D's

Big D's is good. The burgers are thick and juicy. standard toppings include lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup and mustard. The Big D Burger is 1/3 lb of beef for less than $5. anything smaller is considered child size. They have about 5 different kinds of burgers, a double stack, one with jalapenos, a phylo. they all smell good.
Get Fries.
They have milkshakes made from call hall ice cream. They come in bra sizes - a cup, b cup, etc. I haven't tried these.
One time me and shay went, and he paid in all $1's. Big D himself beat shay to the stripper joke. Big D is a charismatic large man. Like santa clause on a harley.  
The only drawback to this place is the limited seating. Around lunchtime this place can get crowded- but it is worth it. i've never waited more than 10 minutes for my order. They are also open for breakfast.
I'm pretty sure their beef is local too. but i couldn't tell you where from.
It is worth checking out manhattan's newest local burger joint!

JP's

JP's is a little sports bar/restaurant located in the new Jardine apartments on Denison Ave. This place is the ideal spot for college students. Everything on the menu is under $7 (except the pounder hamburger at $8.25) They have a full bar, and an obscene amount of t.v's. (if you're into that) Their menu has the staples: pizza, hamburgers, sandwiches, wraps, and appetizers and desserts. Me and El each got a 12 ounce of boulevard  wheat for $3 (the pint is $4). my only complaint is they don't have tallgrass (and too many t.vs) I got a turkey pesto wrap with a side of fries.

The place has only been open since april, also they pay their waitstaff a decent wage so they don't accept tips. Any money left on the table goes to a kstate student scholarship fund. To get there you go to the main courtyard next to the tall glass tower in jardine, it's right next to the organic fairtrade coffee shop!

Cozy Inn

Cozy Inn Burgz.
I've had them before in salina.
Now open in manhattan.
Traffic flow is a problem for sure. no specific place to order or pick up your food.
Sliders are delicious if you aren't weird about onions
don't get the homemade frenchfries
eventually they will have a walkup drunk window in the alley. a bit sketchy, but sounds delic once construction is done.
everyone that works there looks like they are from salina.
minus simone.

I ate at Tubby's tonight in Aggieville, and I liked it. Sitting with j.shay at a card table on the dance floor (normally covered in sweaty 21st birthday pub crawl residue) was the most enjoyable bar food experience I've had in recent memory. The atmosphere was a sports bar, but no stench of bleach and spilled beer could be found. I dreamed of what it would be like to sit above the bar in the loft seating with candle lit dinner sipping martinis to dance beats.
We were treated with great service, great jams on the speakers, and I got full and tipsy for under $10.
Needless to say, i have every intention of coming back and trying more menu items (guacamole burger!) and super cheap drink specials

Menu:
Dirty Martini - $3 (j.shay) gin soaked olives kick ass
CranCosmo - $3 (libs) simple and sweet
Spicy Fries - $2.25 - (Tasted like thick cut fries cooked in curly fry seasoning, the dip is what really did me in)
Soft taco - .75
Hard taco - $1.00
Double decker taco - $1.25 ( hard taco wrapped in queso and a soft shell deluxe)
Gin and Tonic - $1
Grand Total : $8.38 each

J.Shay's Pizza Diary

I work at AJ's NY Pizzeria, and subsequently eat at least 3 slices of pizza a week.  I seriously love pizza so much.
Also, I'm way into experimenting with toppings and eating outside the box.  My friend Ashley used to call it "mixing," basically taking foods that 'shouldn't go together' and putting them together.  Cream cheese + Goldfish crackers = yum; pickles + potato chips + sharp cheddar = mini sandwich.
Anyway, I often apply this rule to pizza.  Here is a slice I made the other day that was so delicious:
-BBQ sauce + ranch (baked on)
-Beef
-Blue cheese crumbles
-Tomato + red onion (so yummeh)
-Light sprinkling of mozzarella
-Generous sprinkling of bacon bits

It was inspired by a hamburger I ate long ago which had all of these same things, save the marinara, mozz, and tomatoes.  Black and Blue Barbie-Q is a good name for it.
Delicious.  Get it next time you are at AJ's.

I'll start bringing my camera to work so I can take pictures of these delicious creations.

Truly,
J.Shay
