For weeks I contemplated whether or not I should include the following spot in my passion blogs because it is not a restaurant in the traditional sense. There is no real sit-down experience to be had at this place, but that does not take away from its lure in any way at all. As a […]

This past snow day (bless up that we’ve had so many), I woke up and NEEDED breakfast food in my mouth as ASAP as possible. Was I going to go to Off The Ground for their bagels with under-allocated cream cheese portions? No! Was I going to the buffet? No! The fools at Redifer never […]

In my various previous posts I have harped on the fact that I strongly believe that almost all of the restaurants downtown offer the same, or at least very similar, dining experiences and menu items. While I don’t believe that the place I have tried this week is anything revolutionary in terms of dining experience […]

For this week’s edition of my passion blog I went on an adventure. I was in uncharted territory on this campus. A place that many students know little about, and those who do know are slightly ashamed to say that they do know. This place is none other than North Campus. I’m only up at […]

When I first arrived to Penn State and began this very blog, I was convinced that Downtown had little to offer us outside of maybe Primanti Brothers and The Tavern, but even those restaurants leave a lot to be desired – like affordability – for a poor college student like myself. Outside of those two […]

If you’re like me, and most college students I’m assuming, the cash flow has been a little tight lately. While this is true, you want great food too. What’s even worse is that the dining halls can’t always fulfill that desire. It’s sad because we can’t throw the bills like you used to- now we […]

Welcome to my blog! Here’s a brief intro about what I’ll be covering … There is nothing in this world I love more than a great meal. And if the school is going to make me walk several minutes, if not more, to go get my meal, you can count on me making sure I […]

When the buffet is serving something you just can’t trust, what is there to do? I don’t expect the average student to believe that Redifer dining crew is turning out mass amounts of well-prepared salmon or juicy pork loin. I’d react happily to the aforementioned meals if it was my mom making them; however, it […]

For those of you who haven’t been keeping up with my reviews, in my previous post I visited the Italian a-la-carte eatery in Redifer, Piatto Felice. Within the review, I asked for suggestions where I could get some good Italian food nearby, and although no one had a suggestion within the comments (which made me […]

Here at PSU, it seems like all of the restaurants have agreed to make exact copies of each other’s menus and serve nothing else. If your diet is made up of cheap burgers, bad pizza, or some other junk you’d eat at a football game/tailgate, you must be in heaven downtown. But if you’re like […]
