DRUNKEN

SOMETIMES DRUNKENNESS HAPPENS. It's a feeling you'll come to know and love.
Stumbling down South University Avenue at 3 a.m., after last call at the bar; wandering bleary-eyed from a stranger's house
party; inebriated and trapped on Central Campus after missing the Bursley-Baits "drunk bus" - suddenly hunger strikes.
The burrito craving digs in hard and tight under your ribs, and the once gently-gnawing pizza jones turns ferocious. Luckily,
relief is only a few blocks and bucks away.
JIMMY JOHN'S
1207 S. University Ave.
600 Packard St.
342 S. State St.
929 E. Ann St.
For the macho dudes out there who want
nothing more than to chomp into a nice
hunk of meat, head to Jimmy John's. And
if you're a girl who likes to count her cal-
ories - especially after a few keg stands
- Jimmy John's might tickle your fancy as
well. Vegetables slathered in Italian dress-
ing: deceptively unhealthy.
Best bets: No. 4 Turkey Tom (turkey
sandwich with lettuce, tomato, sprouts),
the J.J. Gargantuan (five kinds of deli meat
with provolone)
TIO'S MEXICAN
CAFE
333 E. Huron St.
The Prickly Pear may offer pricey buffa-
lo fajitas and mango pico de gallo, but does
the fancy Main Street spot offer an $8.99
enchilada dinner at 4 a.m.? Nope. Kerry-
town residents and drunken wanderers that
make it up to Huron Street know that Tios
is best in altered states. Cheesy bean dip,
me gusta.
Best when stoned: cheese enchilada spe-
cial, bean dip with fresh chips
PIZZA BOB'S
814 S. State St.
Mmm, Pizza Bob's milkshakes. Even
if you never choose to sample the pizza
or chipatis there - we're not sure if peo-
ple really ever go for the food - a Pizza
Bob's milkshake must be savored during
your undergrad years here in the Deuce.
Fully savored - not sipped, not drank, but
devoured like a hungry, hungry hippo. Plus,
they call the 32-ounce option the Tub-O-
Shake.
Best flavor combos: almond and hot
fudge; Reese's Pieces, chocolate and cara-
mel; peanut butter and banana
BIG TEN BURRITO
810 S. State St.
With the Big Ten Conference threatening
them with a sizable lawsuit, the little burri-
to shop that could is being forced to change
its name - but not its delicious menu. Its
snappy service and patient staffers make it
OK to be a bumbling drunk who just wants
a quesadilla. AND WANTS IT NOW.
Favorites: steak quesadilla, deluxe chick-
en burrito with extra salsa and guacamole
BACKROOM PIZZA
605 Church St.
When you want food in your stomach pron-
to - and you really don't care what it tastes
like - then The Backroom's got you covered.
Cheese pizza is only $1 a slice and you can
pour on as much powdered parmesan and red
pepper flakes as it takes for you to imagine
that the greasy, irregular slab of mediocrity
is the stuff they sell at Pizza House.
Best, most reliable choice: cheese pizza
NYPD
605 E. William,1235S. University Ave
You want passion fruit on a pizza? NYPD
doesn't have it, but they offer just about every-
thing else. New York Pizza Depot has a host of
toppings and specialty pizzas: the White Slice
(boasting several kinds of cheese), the baked ziti
pizza, shrimp, artichoke, eggplant.
Favorites: garlic cheese bread, garlic
knots or the mushroom slice.
THE FLEETWOOD
300 S. Ashley St.
Mmmmm. Back in the '70s, when punk-
music legend Iggy Pop lived on the west side
of town, him and his band The Stooges would
frequent this 24-hour greasy spoon.
Best at any time: Three-deck grilled
cheese, the shortstack of pancakes
IN-N-OUT
FOOD STORE
615 E. University Ave.
Who doesn't love greasy slices that spin
around in a rotating display case? OK, In-
N-Out might actually be a convenience
store better known for keg specials and cig-
arettes than for its barbeque chicken pizza, 3Mr5
but seriously, have you tried this barbeque TOP AND BOTTOM: ANGELA CESERE/Daily; MIDDLE: FILE P
chicken pizza? It's really good. We think. TOP: Milkshakes, such as these from Pizza House, are a sure way to your put an end to your late night hungers.
Best deals: barbeque chicken pizza, hot CENTER: Want spicy food? Be sure to stop by Ann Arbor's Mexican restaurants.
dogs ABOVE: A slice of pineapple-pepporoni pizza from Pizza House.
