Though the famous sandwiches are pretty pricey, you're paying for quality, and the food doesn't disappoint. From the famous #2 Zingerman's Reu- ben stacked with sauerkraut and tasty corned beef to the lesser- known, but still delicious #73 Tarb's Tenacious Tenure turkey sandwich smothered in avocado and Wisconsin muenster cheese, all can find something fresh and flavorful to sink their teeth into. Zingerman's has a fun, relaxed dining atmosphere and a mouth- watering selection of deli meats, cheeses, breads, desserts and more kinds of olives than you've ever heard of. Best of all, parents love taking their college kids to Zingerman's, so milk that for all it's worth. Calories don't count at Zingerman's. -LEAHBURGIN BURGERS QUICKIE BURGER Lorated on the corner of Hill and State, this small cor- ner joint offers aromas that grab the nostrils of every passerby. The oversized burger puts the Big Mac to shame in its weight and quality, though its "quickie" nickname is not refer- ring to the taste: Its taste lingers long after eating. Even if you already ate a burger and fries on top of that box of Franzia you pol- ished off an hour ago, you'll still consider eating another. The best part about Quickie, though, isn't getting the food. It's sitting in the maize-and-blue interior with the view of State St., making awk- ward eye contact with the guy from your English class as you shove that huge burger in your mouth. Conversations via Quick- ie window are a one-of-a-kind experience - nothing says friend- ship like a wave at a familiar face through the Quickie glass. -ARIEL BOND The Fifth Quarer 210 S. Fifth Ave. I Ann rbor, .I 734.332.0200 BURRITO CHIPOTLE Dear Chipotle, Thank you for being the most dependable, most delicious burrito place in all of Ann Arbor. Don't let any hat- ers tell you otherwise. They haven't yet learned how to look past your cold, metallic appearance (seriously, is it necessary to make customers feel like they've just stumbled into a robot factory?) and appreciate what makes you so great: the simple elegance of your menu, the hearty chunks of grilled chicken in your flagship item, the non-mushy beans and the option of corn that makes the burrito all the more satisfying. But the rest will come around to you eventually, once people realize that sometimes burritos should actually taste good when consumed while sober. Which brings me to a pressing matter: Guys, you have to start stay- ing open late. Nobody in their right mind has ever said, "Boy, this bur- rito place would be so much better if it closed at 10 p.m." Sincerely, A burrito lover -ANDREWLAPIN TOREHAN SHARMAN/Daily BEST SELF-SERVING AD FOR ANN ARBOR INSTITUTION?

I5AMTERLDCK RAJA RANI Anyone walking west of State Street on a breezy day will get a strong aroma of Indi- an food (enticing or unpleasant, depending on the person) burst- ing from a house on the corner of William and Division. But wait! It's not a house at alt It's . a restaurant called "Raja Rani,".3 which translates directly from Hindi as "King Queen." Though nonsensical, the name is regal and alliterative, and will surely draw you in with the promise of delectable chicken tikka masala and palak paneer. Some say that the food is a tad too greasy, but that's what makes it.so .damn .delicious. And. its .affdrdable: Eight bucks for the lunch buffet, stocked with enough samosas, naan and lamb curry to make your dadi maa in Bangalore proud. Holy Vishnu, that is a good deal -- Raja Rani being voted the best Indian restaurant in AA is as obvious as an Indian guy writingthiskblurb KAVIPANDEY
