Peanut butter crackers and orange drink from the vending machines in the basement of the dorm.

BETH SHELTON ’69

The sandwich shop that was at the corner of University and Berry, close to what was then the Math and Sciences building, had the very best buttermilk pie!

DENISE HEAP ’77

I am not sure that there was anything better than popcorn in your dorm room from your own popper. Sometimes we stuffed a towel under the door so no one could smell it and come to mooch. My roommate, Elaine Crowley ’79, and I liked to dip the popcorn in Pace Picante Sauce.

DEBBI ALEXANDER SCHNEIDER ’79

Class of 1986 — not many choices back then! Chili dogs from 7-Eleven or Benito’s on Magnolia (they used to stay open until 4 a.m.).

LEE GIBSON ’86

I was an RA in the summer of ’85. Back then, TCU campus was a ghost town during summer break. All the dining options (both!) closed early. I would use my Phillips 66 gas card at the station (Berry at University, before it was a Texaco, before it was a Chase Bank) to get late-night snacks. A bag of Doritos and a jar of queso dip hit the spot, every time!

JOE JORDAN ’87

Breadsticks from Perrotti’s Pizza.

KERRY JERNIGAN JACOBS ’91

In 1994, I met my husband (at 1873 Sports Grill and Café) in the Pit. So it will always be my favorite!

ANGIE LEFTWICH TABAT ’96

Jack in the Box, a sausage croissant sandwich for the late-night run!

CHANDRA MATTHEWS ’01

Ol’ South breakfast tacos were the best! On campus, Pizza Hut from Frog Bytes.

MEREDITH HOLBERT MILLIK ’03

On campus were Pizza Hut personal pizzas and cheese sticks in Frog Bytes. Off campus, late night was usually Fuzzy’s, Ol’ South or Whataburger, unless we were studying at IHOP.

LOREN NEWSOM ’04 (MBA ’08)

Any Recollections article that doesn’t talk about Monday nights at The Aardvark, Tuesday nights at The Cellar, Karaoke Wednesdays at Snookie’s, The Moon, The Pub or two-dollar you-call-its on Sundays at Snookie’s would truly be tragic.

SHELDON PEARSON ’06

When I think about some of my core TCU experiences, I still think about Deco Deli, which used to be located in the basement of AddRan. Absolutely amazing sandwiches. There was always a long line, and you wouldn’t even get past the corner of the hallway before someone was yelling for your order. ‘What bread, baby? What spread, baby?’ I can hear that kind woman in my head. It’s long gone now, but I still think about their sandwiches. I know some of my classmates had similar feelings about Eden’s, which was on the other side of the basement. My parents told me that when they were students, that was the cafeteria for athletes. When I was there, they still had old framed TCU football pictures from the ’90s on the wall. It still remains my favorite eating spot, although it was only open for lunch.

J. WASSNER ’10

Whataburger on Berry. I remember running into many friends and classmates on a Friday night.

AMANDA KRUSE MARTINEZ ’10

1873 Sports Grill and Café underneath the cafeteria. The chicken tenders were amazing, and we got to play pool down there. I spent many hours and late nights there from 2011 through 2013 using all my Frog Bucks.

JANSON OYLER ’14

The patty melt and curly fries from 1873!

TAKYRA MORGAN ’15

The curly fries and chocolate milkshakes from 1873!

ERIK CALZADA ’16

Toppers, for sure.

NATHAN LOWE ’20

A large fry and chocolate shake from Chick-fil-A!
