The same people own Real Seafood Co., and it's just as good. Try the fettucine con pomodoro e basilico. And, after the meal, you get your choice of Frangelico or Sambuca. That's Ital- ian! ORIENTAL FOOD The Great Wall (1220 South University) In this age of growing Oriental food restaurants, the competition is getting tough. It was a close one, but The Great Wall pulled out ahead as this year's winner. MEXICAN FOOD Chi Chi's (3776 S. State) Food-chain Mexican food - what the hell, this isn't California. And they do have a great Tuesday- night Margarita happy hour. SEAFOOD Real Seafood Co. (341 S. Main) Is there anywhere else? The fish is fresh, at this perennial winner, and if the 'rents are into seafood, this is the place. Plus, you get a free meal on your birthday. And for you land- lubbers, their turf well complements their surf. JUNK FOOD (tie) Village Corner (601 S. Forest)/ Stop-N-Go (615 E. University) While Stop-n-Go, open all night, LATE-NIGHT EATS Brown Jug (1204 5. University) Otherwise known as the Brown Drug and the Brown Slug. When the bars toss you out, you go here. The only restaurant that runs out of ev- erything before you go to order it. TAKE-OUT Mr. Spots (810 5. State) Their buffalo wings are unbeat- able. Quite spicy, though, they come with a creamy sauce and some celery sticks. The order of twenty is a meal. Plus, they serve up a mean sub, to boot. conconctions. You can even get the menu's mailed to your door monthly. FOOD BARGAIN Jerusalem Garden (307 S.

The guffaws, the startled out- bursts, and the inevitable, "What do you expect, it's the Daily." The Daily staff knows what you think of us, and some of us might even agree with you. We've been known to gri- mace every once and a while when we glance at the front page. But it was - well, enlightening, to see the black-and-white truth of what you really liked and disliked about the Daily in this year's readers poll. Here's some of the gems: The most popular item in Weekend Magazine was The List. Thanks a lot. We slave away to put out a decent issue, and you pick announcements of lectures on "Mollusks and other Fun Sea Creatures" and movie listings you could get by calling the local theaters. Coming up next: A cover story in- vestigating the evolution of the list in America. Sound enter- taining? Off the Wall came in a close second for best of Weekend. And no, we don't make up the graffiti, this stuff is for real. (See Best of Off the Wall, pg. 23) Finally, our very own Jim Poniewozik garnered a good deal of votes for his weekly columns on life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. Most amusing, though, was the various spellings of Jim's last name. We got everything from "Ponziewak" to "Ponaweizek." Just do what we do, and call 'im "Jim." Most of you seriously disliked the bi-annual Weekend Fashion edition. We tend to agree with you. Do you think its fun for us to have to arrange models, be buyers, and stand in the freezing cold for two hours at a shoot? Although, I must admit, I do enjoy walking down the street with five shopping bags pretending all these new threads are mine. A few other voters claimed the worst part of Weekend was that it was "part of the Daily." And one happy reader gushed she was sad that "every day wasn't a Friday without a maga- zine." Thanks, mom. We like to think of it this way: The Daily is just wrapping paper for Weekend Magazine. The responses for what yc more harsh. Answers ranged imals," to "Don't. Media b some saving graces.
