I have a confession: I have never<br />
had Shake Shack. What’s worse? I<br />
spent all summer squatting in the<br />
intern room at Bon Appétit, following<br />
@nycfoodtruck like I was<br />
John Hinkley Jr. on Jodie Foster<br />
and most days, I had tuna.<br />
Being a foodie is harder than<br />
you’d think. Let me rephrase<br />
that: separating epicurism from<br />
eating is harder than you’d think.<br />
But the line is pretty thick.<br />
For starters, you’ve got to pick<br />
your battles. Last year, my roommate<br />
decided Yogorino was the<br />
best thing she’s ever had. Kiwi<br />
didn’t do it for her and Sweetgreen’s<br />
Sweetflow sucks. So she<br />
went cold turkey on the fro–yo<br />
thing. When stuck on campus,<br />
she eats that Pequea Valley Yogurt<br />
they sell at Metro. She loves<br />
it and it loves her. Our house is<br />
littered with the remnants of her<br />
GRUBFROMtheEDITOR<br />
holdover and when she finally<br />
gets down to 20th and Locust,<br />
she’s happy as a hippo.<br />
I’m not trying to excuse my<br />
burger blunder. The Shack is less<br />
than a mile away and another<br />
one’s on its way to Drexel. I am,<br />
however, trying to excuse yours.<br />
Food is everywhere. Check the<br />
Law School. They give it away for<br />
free like, every day. On Spruce,<br />
you don’t have to go out to lunch<br />
because lunch comes to you. Hit<br />
the road, ham sandwich, Koja's<br />
got Korean in a truck. We’ve got<br />
a lot of trendy restaurants in this<br />
issue, too. Post up on your couch,<br />
nuke a bag of popcorn and read<br />
about them. They’ll be there for<br />
you tomorrow.<br />
