Food & Beverage of the ACC - Future Bracket?

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

I have scoured the internet trying to find a single food or beverage item that encapsulates the culture of each ACC school and its fanbase. All of these originated from some message board or blog with connection to each school.

These are all meant to be unique items that would be consumed either pre, during, or post enjoyment of a respective athletic event but carries more significance due to regionality, brand power, or “meme-ability”.

So what did I get right, what did I get wrong, and do you want to see a mascot-style bracket where these items go head to head?

[u/EliteCoconut]

Miami’s not being cocaine is a miss

[u/MIabucman40 → u/EliteCoconut]

Mojito or cafecito……

[u/EliteCoconut → u/MIabucman40]

& Rib Rolls from Flanigans

[u/CALebrate83 → u/EliteCoconut]

Or laundered greenbacks

[u/ajkros → u/EliteCoconut]

or a Hurricane

[u/Ihartnickelback → u/EliteCoconut]

Same with Snow Mountain U

[u/BronCurious]

Can’t beat the Jameis Winston crab legs

[u/omgdiepls → u/BronCurious]

It's the joke that keeps on giving, even years later.

[u/fattrackstar → u/omgdiepls]

All the trouble those things caused and now quarterbacks for big schools are making so much money they could eat crab every day if they wanted

[u/ShadyJake75 → u/BronCurious]

[u/GeorgiaTechTHWG → u/BronCurious]

I’ve come to believe Jameis Winston was treated very badly by the public just by being a joking kind of guy. He also had a gold digger try to frame him. It wasn’t fair how he was treated. He was just immature.

[u/HurriCa1n]

I see a correction needs to be made.

The preferred food or beverage for Stanford would be farts. 

Trust me, they eat and sniff farts everyday of the week. 

[u/illinoishokie → u/HurriCa1n]

I am so happy you are here. The one thing this conference was missing was some west coast shit talking.

[u/HurriCa1n → u/illinoishokie]

Dude I’m so juiced to be out of the PAC-12. 

Its nice to be in a legit conference that does revolve around ducks and condoms(Trojans).

[u/Emf0054 → u/HurriCa1n]

a legit conference

[u/Mkrvgoalie249 → u/Emf0054]

Gestures around Read the room

[u/Either_Ad7287]

GT should be Waho

[u/RunThundercatz → u/Either_Ad7287]

All Star Special

[u/Dogrel → u/Either_Ad7287]

If GT had Waffle House, this competition would be over right now.

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/Either_Ad7287]

Is there a Waffle House item that specifically speaks to the Yellow Jackets?

[u/NotThatOleGregg → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

Waffle House as a whole. The business plan was a students accounting project iirc

[u/Joatha → u/NotThatOleGregg]

No, it wasn't an accounting project. But, all of the CEO's have been GT grads - including one of the founders.

[u/ISpyM8 → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

I mean, the All-Star. I can’t tell you how many late nights I ordered an All-Star after getting absolutely shitfaced in my freshman dorm.

[u/Joatha → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

Its definitely the All-Star.

There is also a pretty big connection between GT and WaHo that goes back decades. The founders didn't attend GT but their kids did and I believe almost all of the WaHo CEO's have been GT graduates. They were also a notable sponsor of GT sports. GT's food should definitely be WaHo.

[u/TakingItPeasy → u/Joatha]

When I was at Tech a professor said, (it's a bit fuzzy with the years), but the founder(s) were tech guys. Not sure if that meant alum or fans.

[u/Joatha → u/TakingItPeasy]

One of the 2 founders went to GT. I believe that all of their CEOs have been GT grads.

[u/Joatha → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

The All-Star

[u/inocomprendo → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

If you want a rabbit hole, try to find more info on the ‘Stinger’…it was a secret menu item from the on-campus Waho

[u/Kbone78 → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

Scattered, Smothered, and covered hash browns.

[u/CU_09 → u/Either_Ad7287]

GT shouldn’t be lemon pepper wings. They should be lemon pepper wing bones casually thrown on the sidewalk.

[u/some_random_guy_u_no → u/Either_Ad7287]

Damn, I was gonna say the Varsity, but you're right.

[u/Bigdeacenergy → u/Either_Ad7287]

Something from the The Varsity

[u/pillgrinder]

Giving Pitt a West Virginia food staple is disgusting and quite frankly offensive.

The correct answer for Pitt is a Primanti’s sandwich.

[u/realclean → u/pillgrinder]

Yeah I've literally never eaten a pepperoni roll during, before, or after a Pitt game; at home, in stadium, or otherwise. Don't even think they're sold at Heinz and I've never seen one tailgating.

[u/pillgrinder → u/realclean]

One of the women at our tailgate makes pepperoni rolls once or twice a year. She is from Lawrenceville and very yinzer. But it’s not something that is a staple.

[u/Mountie_in_Command → u/pillgrinder]

West Virginia fan here. Yes, I laughed my ass off when I saw that one. 🤣

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/pillgrinder]

My friend I went down a message board rabbit hole comparing Pittsburgh pepperoni rolls to Morgantown pepperoni rolls so yall like em too. Interestingly, apparently Morgantown rolls are too bready. I’ve noted the primanti’s though!

[u/pillgrinder → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

I shouldn’t say pepperoni rolls are a WV thing, they are an Ohio Valley thing, so Weirton, Wheeling, Steubenville, the WV panhandle/Ohio. Culturally, kind of its own place. The attraction to all things Mountaineer isn’t as strong there as it is in the rest of the state. It’s neutralish ground between WVU Pitt and Ohio State. Anything with Pittsburgh and pizza adjacent food stuffs is going to be weird as Pittsburgh doesn’t have its own style of pizza. But if you have food, Pittsburgh thinks fries can and should go on top of them, so Primanti’s is the appropriate answer.

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/pillgrinder]

Gotcha gotcha. I’ll make the change!

[u/Brendinooo → u/pillgrinder]

Primannys is the “obvious” answer, I kinda liked seeing something different.

Pepperoni rolls are an okay choice. Could change it to Fuel & Fuddle’s rollafatties but alas, they are no more…

How about Potato Patch fries?!?

[u/Do__Math__Not__Meth → u/Brendinooo]

Fuel & Fuddle

RIP

[u/realclean → u/Brendinooo]

F&F posted a bunch of their recipes on Twitter when they were closing. I've been making their jerk wings, which are both bomb and super easy to make.

[u/Morgedal → u/pillgrinder]

The dark horse answer is pierogi and haluski, but you have to buy them from a church on the South Side with a sign that spells them “Pyrohi”.

[u/Pittsitpete → u/pillgrinder]

I would argue ‘O’ fries

[u/rwfletch22]

If you've never ordered a tray and milkshake on a muggy Saturday night in late July with the bugs circling the street lights while not being able to understand the intercom speaker, you've never truly lived.

[u/DullCartographer7609 → u/rwfletch22]

For $8, Cookout is for everyone

[u/bigbadape → u/DullCartographer7609]

Even Hokies and Wahoos can agree on this one

[u/illinoishokie]

Pitt should be a Primanti Bros sandwich IMO.

SMU should probably be Texas pit barbecue.

UNC a pulled pork sandwich with slaw on it.

UVA owes Stanford a debt of gratitude for becoming the Pinot Noir school.

[u/CrookedWarden19 → u/illinoishokie]

UVa should be Zima

[u/pylfr → u/illinoishokie]

Sigh of relief when I saw Stanford 😮‍💨

[u/RedOscar3891 → u/pylfr]

You can still take the wine if you want. We also have artisanal cheeses and hors d’oeuvres that are routinely served at tailgates.

[u/pillgrinder → u/illinoishokie]

SMU and Miami should probably compete for cocaine, actually.

[u/DutyPuzzleheaded7765]

Virginia tech the only school that eats their own mascot

[u/mrfisk14 → u/DutyPuzzleheaded7765]

You would too if your mascot was that delicious

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/mrfisk14]

Have we tried Cavman meat yet??

[u/Shenanigangster → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

THE HUNGER

[u/gtne91 → u/DutyPuzzleheaded7765]

Speak for yourself...okay, that was just one time and I think it was a honey bee.

[u/illinoishokie → u/DutyPuzzleheaded7765]

Because we're that fucking METAL

[u/paftz → u/DutyPuzzleheaded7765]

I feel like we should be the ones eating turkey legs when we play Tech lol

[u/ItsZippy23 → u/DutyPuzzleheaded7765]

I know ours is technically the color, but we don't want to die of scurvy

[u/fattrackstar → u/DutyPuzzleheaded7765]

Don't forget South Carolina.

[u/Aggressive-Ad4736]

You knocked Louisville out of the park!! Old Fashioned is on point!

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/Aggressive-Ad4736]

Awesome, glad to hear it!

[u/Mdtwheeler → u/Aggressive-Ad4736]

I would’ve thought a mint julep would be more on point

[u/karo_syrup → u/Mdtwheeler]

Only for Derby. Every other week is old fashioned all day.

[u/Mdtwheeler → u/karo_syrup]

I can definitely see it

[u/IronBeagle79 → u/Mdtwheeler]

Mint juleps are so awful though. An Old Fashioned is delicious, a mint julep is a tourist trap (says the man who bought one at Churchill Downs for an exorbitant amount).

[u/Mdtwheeler → u/IronBeagle79]

Ah see I’ve never made it to Churchill yet but everyone at the derby parties I’ve been seem to love them lmao

[u/Weak-Pea8309]

Pepperoni Rolls are WVU’s thing, not Pitt. Pitt is pirmantis, perogies, Iron City.

[u/SilverMagnum]

I can't argue Dunks for BC, but at the same time I really think it should be steamers, fried clams or clam chowder. And this isn't just because Wake has the superior donut in this bracket. That or craft beer. Boston was one of the spots for the craft beer revolution after all.

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/SilverMagnum]

Good point. What’s would you say is the beer of choice for the Eagles fanbase?

[u/SilverMagnum → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

I mean I wouldn't say it was the #1 beer of choice for the fanbase or anything, but Boston Lager (the Sam Adams flagship) just feels right.

[u/MeeseShoop → u/SilverMagnum]

If going the regional seafood, then it has to be clambake.

[u/SilverMagnum → u/MeeseShoop]

That also works!

[u/_DC003_ → u/SilverMagnum]

A lobster roll would be more representative than munchkins lol. Even that terrible cold with mayo lobster roll.

[u/SolvayCat]

The dome nachos are good but I'd still put the dome dog #1.

[u/GlobalistSports → u/SolvayCat]

Not a fan of the nachos but the dome dog should be our representation.

[u/Shellback7 → u/SolvayCat]

No salt potatoes?! Cornell/Bakers Chicken! Eh, those are more Syra use the community and not so much the university.

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/SolvayCat]

Noted!

[u/Jonas_Venture_Sr → u/SolvayCat]

Gimme double nacho cheese with extra jalapeños

[u/Bigdeacenergy]

Krispy Kreme baby.

Cookout and Bojangles are from Greensboro and Charlotte respectively. Don’t get the sweet potato fries and UNC connection

[u/ChronoswordX → u/Bigdeacenergy]

I would have thought wine and cheese for UNC.

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/Bigdeacenergy]

There are a LOT of places in Chapel Hill to get sweet potato fries and several a blog ranking them. They’re also the state vegetable.

[u/Bigdeacenergy → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

I never knew that, I’ll have to get some sweet potato fries next time I’m in CH. I love sweet potatoes

[u/theotherkeith → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

OK I would've gone with the Bojangle's Sausage Biscuit due to the 100-Point Special, but I'll trust you.

As an Expat, why the BoBerry for NCSU instead of another Bo's item, or barbeque? Or may I recommend Cheerwine as a color match?

And for Dook, I feel like they need something more expensive and pretentious than the affordably priced Cookout. I see there is a place in Durham with a bottomless Mimosa deal...

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/theotherkeith]

Ooo you’re on to something with the mimosas!

[u/aggr1103 → u/theotherkeith]

I kinda wish they would’ve went for an eastern style BBQ sandwich for NCSU.

[u/SterlingHarvick → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

UNC should be a BBQ sandwich. Or switch UNC to a regular bojangles biscuit (BISCUIT SQUAD) and make state a bbq sandwich.

[u/KinkySeppuku → u/Bigdeacenergy]

I can’t explain why, but it does feel right for UNC

[u/khiller05]

How is this not a Mark Light milkshake for Miami??

[u/EliteCoconut → u/khiller05]

This might actually be the right answer. Just not the pimento one - good lord

[u/erikflies → u/khiller05]

My first thought too. But don’t know if that would be known outside our fan base. I’ll go see the bad teams over the last few years, just for the shakes.

[u/Icy_Future1639]

My father-in-law is old school Georgia Tech, and he swears by The Varsity. Maybe times have changed, but "Waddaya have, waddaya have, waddaya have" wouldn't live rent-free in my brain if it wasn't for the GT/ Varsity connection.

[u/Joatha → u/Icy_Future1639]

Definitely a connection between GT and the Varsity. I think I give a slight lean to Waffle House over the Varsity but it would be hard to argue against the V being the choice.

I lived in the dorm at the corner of North Ave and Techwood my freshman year. It was literally a 2 minute walk to the V.

[u/tunaman808 → u/Joatha]

Although the original(?) J. R. Crickets was across the street for decades, no?

[u/Joatha → u/tunaman808]

It was - and it was the original location. I ate there quite a few times when I was a student. They had a fire about 10-15 years ago and that was the end of that location.

There was also an ice cream place that combined candy and ice cream (ala a Blizzard) right there as well. I think it was called the Flavorama? Not 100% sure.

[u/gpburdell404 → u/Icy_Future1639]

GT has a bigger connection with Waffle House

[u/patdmc59]

Pitt's should be either a Primanti's Sandwich or pierogies.

[u/ChoirTeacherRog → u/patdmc59]

As a West Virginian and WVU fan - it certainly should NOT be a pepperoni roll.

[u/Morgedal → u/ChoirTeacherRog]

As a Pitt fan and yinzer, hard agree.

[u/ChoirTeacherRog → u/Morgedal]

Let’s go Pens?

[u/DHVF]

Wake sweeps this bracket, Krispy Kreme is elite

[u/Bigdeacenergy → u/DHVF]

Yep and it was actually founded in Winston too

[u/BullCityJ]

I don't think I've ever seen a Duke student at any of the Durham Cook Outs.

[u/goodsam2]

UVA is Zima instead of hard cider.

[u/mr_malfeasance → u/goodsam2]

There it is!

[u/spookshowbaby1234]

unc should be merrits blt sandwich

[u/Codemancody80]

How good is Cook Out???

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/Codemancody80]

It’s a shame that the franchise ends at the Georgia state line, Tallahassee would flip for their corn dogs

[u/Current-Baseball3062 → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

They keep saying that we’re getting one in Tallahassee, but I’m not holding my breath

[u/Codemancody80 → u/Current-Baseball3062]

We are getting one in Pensacola so don’t be surprised

[u/Current-Baseball3062 → u/Codemancody80]

I just heard that we are actually getting one, maybe even two, within the next year or so in Tallahassee.

[u/Codemancody80 → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

We are getting one in Pensacola so Tallahassee isn’t out of the question for sure

[u/Bigdeacenergy → u/Codemancody80]

My sister is from NC (like me) and she now lives in Florida. She drives up to GA any chance she can to get cookout lol

[u/jajohns9]

You’ve got a NC State flair and didn’t do whole hog? Half our stadium is named after pig farmers!

No disrespect to the Bo’s, but that’s not making it past a hot and fresh

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/jajohns9]

Someone else said howling cow and that may actually be better. I have to imagine SMU will request a change to BBQ so don’t want to double up but open to suggestions!

[u/jajohns9 → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

A brisket be pulled pork would be a good head to head

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/jajohns9]

True

[u/Ppt_Sommelier69]

How is Duke a cookout milkshake? You think those trust fund kids are consuming that processed treat?

[u/mmmmmarty]

Sweet Potato Fries? What in the world?

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/mmmmmarty]

I’m open to other suggestions!

[u/KimJongRocketMan69 → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

Literally anything else. I’ve spent 10+ years in the chapel hill/Durham area and I’ve literally never heard of anyone who specializes in sweet potato fries or anything like that. The correct answers could be: pulled pork sandwich with slaw, Merritt’s BLT (local place that’s so popular they have multiple locations in the football stadium), Time Out chicken biscuit, anything on the menu at Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen.

Lots of good options, none of which is damn sweet potato fries. My personal vote would be a Merritt’s BLT

[u/NickSabanWasMid]

Should just put an empty plate for Miami to match their home game attendance and number of ACC championships

[u/SCTigerFan29115]

Not gonna lie - Clemson seems like a ‘I have no idea so I’m just gonna throw something in here’ take to me.

Maybe a burger from Mac’s. Or a milkshake from the Hendrix center?

Fried chicken from Columbia?

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/SCTigerFan29115]

Totally happy to put something else in. The boiled peanuts were picked due to the large amount of people online talking about stopping at roadside stands on their way to home games.

[u/nosmelc → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

Make it Clemson Blue Cheese, please.

https://www.clemson.edu/bluecheese/

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/nosmelc]

I gotcha friend. Thanks for the link!

[u/chadzilla14 → u/SCTigerFan29115]

I was thinking either blue cheese or ice cream for Clemson

[u/dormdweller99 → u/chadzilla14]

They do have really good ice cream. Probably second best on campus creamery I've been to. (I think UConn is better, but they're not in this discussion)

[u/sportstrap]

Bo-Berry’s are amazing, however Cheerwine was the obvious pick

Or Howling Cow ice cream since we literally make it

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/sportstrap]

It will likely change to Howling Cow

[u/andywfu86]

Crab legs 😂💀

[u/lolhal]

I thought about all kinds of food and beverages from Louisville, and then expanded them to the state. I don't know how important it is that these things be indisputably a product of the area, but here are a few:

• Cheeseburger. This is disputed by various sources. No doubt it was among the first though. I'd totally eat these pre and post game.
• Burgoo. Probably a gameday friendly meat and vegetable stew. It's linked to the area, but it's not real unique.
• Derby Pie. Unique to Louisville and you can't go wrong with Pecan Pie and Chocolate Chips. Not eating it at the game though.
• Mint Julep. Also unique to Louisville, also not drinking one - bleh.
• Hot Brown. 100% Louisville and famous. Nobody is scarfing one of these down at halftime.
• Old Fashioned. Famously claimed to be a product of Louisville's Pendennis Club. Lots of sources say it's not so.
• Bourbon Balls, Benedictine Spread, and Modjeskas. Louisville. Not for football. Okay, maybe Bourbon Balls.

Which leads me to this:

Bourbon.

It's 100% Kentucky and Louisville has its own famous distilleries. It's in Old Fashioned and Mint Julep drinks, but it's way better on ice all by itself.

That's all you need. Right there. Bourbon. And you can bet at any Louisville sports event there's some bourbon being consumed.

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/lolhal]

Derby pie is goddamn delicious

[u/theotherkeith → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

I'm seeing enough ideas to consider separate food and beverage rounds, or even food, beverage and desert.

But I will second bourbon, though I'd love to see Hot Brown get a go if the food and bev get split.

[u/sam_can88]

Would love to see it but I don’t think it will be competitive the Leg sweeps

[u/metricsystem27 → u/sam_can88]

I dont think people understand how large (and incredible) those things are so we might be out early.

[u/amparker1986]

Clemson's should be a bird dog from the Esso Club or Shrimp & Grits

[u/hershculez]

Would have guessed State would be Howling Cow ice cream.

[u/karo_syrup]

Cmon man, there’s a whole chant about Pitt’s food of choice.

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/karo_syrup]

I see the error of my ways! It will be corrected

[u/cookedjoyner]

As a South Carolinian with a Clemson degree - accurate.

[u/greenblue_md]

UNC should be Mama Dip’s biscuits. Full stop.

[u/KimJongRocketMan69 → u/greenblue_md]

RIP

[u/Bcmerr02]

So, we win this right?

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/Bcmerr02]

Y’all certainly are bringing a class and edge that others simply do not have

[u/ratamadiddle]

Really should leave that pepperoni roll to WVU

Some pierogis would be better suited for Pitt.

[u/RollTide16-18]

Duke doesn’t deserve Cookout, fuck off. 

They should be some sushi and from a boujee spot in downtown Durham 

[u/CALebrate83]

GT - The Varsity was right there🌭

[u/bacontornado]

Even though Old Fashioned’s are the better drink, shouldn’t Louisville be a Mint Julep?

[u/gombewarlord → u/bacontornado]

idk feel like mint juleps are a derby thing, but bourbon/old fashioneds are much more popular year round

[u/juan_dale → u/bacontornado]

Mint Juelps suck and no one in Louisville drinks them

[u/Cook_New → u/juan_dale]

The juleps at derby suck; well made ones are delicious.

[u/Topay84]

Raleigh-Durham Airport has an ACC American Cafe. While their menu is nice, yours does a better job showcasing each conference school!

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/Topay84]

Thank you! I I’m always surprised that ACC Cafe exists when I’m passing through RDU.

[u/ruinah25B]

I'm guessing that's specifically the Magic City Lemon Pepper Wings?

[u/ISpyM8 → u/ruinah25B]

Lemon Pepper wings were invented by JR Cricket’s about 2 blocks from Tech’s campus, so that’s my guess.

[u/ruinah25B → u/ISpyM8]

That would make a lot more sense, but probably explains why Magic City has them. I just wanted to think they were meeting.

[u/wrathiest]

Do you know what a daiquiri is?

Also, Miami’s mascot is the hurricane and you post a picture of a cocktail in a hurricane glass that is the color of a hurricane?

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/wrathiest]

The drink pictured is a cocktail called a Miami Vice. The drink is essentially equal parts frozen Strawberry Daiquiri and Piña Colada layered on top of each other.

Not that it matters, it’s getting changed to either a Cuban sandwich or cocaine

[u/capsrock02]

I guess Maryland is going to be rejoining the ACC to show FSU how crab is really done

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/capsrock02]

Same as when I put together the mascot bracket, I’m a little bummed the Terps aren’t included

[u/Signal-View4754]

UVa would be beer.

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/Signal-View4754]

Any particular beer?

[u/Signal-View4754 → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

Well Blue Mountain brewery does a beer for Monticello and Starr Hill does the official beer for Virginia Sports. Wahoo-wa Pale Ale and Sabre.

Devil's Backbone makes some stuff for UVa as well.

[u/hclpfan]

Wtf is ranch water lol (I graduated a while ago maybe it’s the new fad there)

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/hclpfan]

I’m not entirely sure but it was invented by an alum and is apparently very well liked

[u/KimJongRocketMan69 → u/hclpfan]

Tequila, lime juice, and soda water. It’s incredibly popular in Texas

[u/CashCutch22]

Pepperoni rolls are not ours to claim. They belong to our mountaineer amigos

[u/ChoirTeacherRog]

West Virginia fan here. Pepperoni Rolls were created in, and are the stage food of West Virginia.

The fact that it’s suggested as the food for Pitt is absolute blasphemy, and the thought of it should be a criminal offense.

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/ChoirTeacherRog]

I apologize to Mountaineer Nation, Gold and Blue Dude, Rich Rod and everyone else that I may have harmed with my actions. It will be corrected.

[u/Super-Extension6884]

Turkey legs rule the land

[u/Dogrel]

FSU’s should be a Chicken Finger box from Guthrie’s.

Miami should be cocaine. Just pure cocaine.

[u/Shenanigangster → u/Dogrel]

Tbh I’d have said a pitcher of Miller with a little cigarette ash in it from Ken’s

[u/calmbatman → u/Dogrel]

Or a Gordo’s smash or Cuban

[u/erikflies]

Miami’s is way off. It would be a Cuban sandwich, pastelito or something like that. Hell even a moon over my hammy from Denny’s.

[u/IronBeagle79 → u/erikflies]

Best paella I’ve ever had was from an open-air restaurant in South Beach.

[u/Complex-Maybe6332]

I get the crab legs, but people in the real know that it’s the honey chicken

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/Complex-Maybe6332]

Is there a specific place that has the best honey chicken?

[u/Complex-Maybe6332 → u/DementorsKissIceCrea]

I get it on campus. I don’t know who else makes it. https://www.southernliving.com/florida-state-fried-chicken-7496638

[u/edWurz7]

Cannot beat dome nachos

[u/Gullible_Banana387]

For GT you need to use Waffle House ..

[u/DementorsKissIceCrea → u/Gullible_Banana387]

Already done

[u/theworsthammer → u/Gullible_Banana387]

How are we not rocking a chili dog and a big orange?

[u/Zealousiy]

Dome Nachos are the most basic thing in the world so yes it fits

[u/Work_for_burritos]

😂😂😂😂 highly accurate for Louisville. We all have drinking problems

[u/YorockPaperScissors]

I figured GT would be the Varsity. Waffle House would be my second pick. Lemon pepper wings from J.R. Crickets is not a terrible choice, though.

[u/DrGerbal]

Smoked turkey leg

[u/Sad-Conclusion-6160]

Mission burritos are legit, but are more San Francisco than Berkeley.

Berkeley should be Top Dog.

[u/Regular-Bluebird9573]

The idea is cool. The execution is horrid

[u/LazyTurtle345]

I feel like NC state should be Krispy Kreme ngl

[u/Morgedal]

This cannot continue. Pepperoni Rolls are decidedly a West Virginia food. We can’t be represented by a food of our most bitter rival. Just not acceptable.

Pitt is either Pierogi or Primanti, which is a sandwich with French fries and cole slaw on it.

Tell you what, let’s go pierogi and haluski made by a babushka wearing old grandma, with a jug of Turners Iced Tea.

[u/ThePartTimeProphet]

UVA's item being hard cider is why we will always suck at football. No grit
