(You\u2019ll thank us later!)<\/em><strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Richie\u2019s<\/strong><br \/>(on The Strip next to the Tech) #<a href=\"tel:215-765-2656\">215-765-2656<\/a><br \/>For the best and most reliable breakfast, Richie\u2019s is the place to go! You can never go wrong with a bagel and some iced coffee for breakfast, and when you\u2019re running late, they conveniently let you call in your order ahead of time for pick-up!<br \/>They also have a food truck conveniently placed right behind Beury, on Norris, called \u201cRichie\u2019s Lunch Box\u201d. Somaiyeh\u2019s favorite is the veggie bagel, because it is quick, cheap, and, best of all, a healthy option when having to grab lunch on the go.<\/p><p><strong>Burger Tank<br \/><\/strong>(corner of 13th and Norris) #<a href=\"tel:215-518-1546\">215-518-1546<\/a><br \/>The Burger Tank Truck has the best burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches one could ask for! Their tank burger is juicy, and really hits a sweet spot! Mikaela loves their double tank burger with cheese. If you\u2019re in the mood for something spicy, they have quite spicy grilled cheese sandwiches, like their famous Pyro Melt, which is sure to have you sweating!<\/p><p><strong>Halal Truck<\/strong><br \/>(second from the corner of 13th and Norris, outside Anneberg Hall)<br \/>Everyone can appreciate a good halal takeaway. If you\u2019re in the mood for a decent chicken over-rice combo, this is the truck to go to. Bijoya loves that the truck has started making her favorite: biryani!<\/p><p><strong>Honey Truck<br \/><\/strong>(12th and Norris) #<a href=\"tel:267-371-3965\">267-371-3965<\/a><br \/>The Honey Truck has the best chicken on Temple\u2019s campus! Their staple chicken burger is perfectly crispy with a special sweet chili sauce, lettuce, tomato, and onions (Sabreen\u2019s advice: adding avocado makes it so much better). The waffles are another crowd-pleaser, especially when covered in syrup, strawberries, and bananas. Paul loves their fries! And the best part: you can order through text for those cold and rainy days, or if you\u2019re on the go and need a quick pick-up!<\/p><p><strong>The Footlong Truck<br \/><\/strong>(12th between engineering and Polett walk) #<a href=\"tel:856-701-7572\">856-701-7572<\/a><br \/>The Footlong truck brings back our true love: the $5 footlong.\u00a0 They have everything from breakfast sandwiches to chicken parm on a long roll! The Footlong truck gets you the most bang for your buck with a full meal (sandwich, fries, and a drink) costing a little over $6! Ryan\u2019s favorite is their bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich with hashbrowns!<\/p><p><strong>Insomnia Cookie<br \/><\/strong>(On Cecil B. Moore and Broad, in Morgan Hall)<strong><br \/><\/strong>Whether it\u2019s the midnight munchies or the need for an afternoon snack, Insomnia Cookie is Chigoziem\u2019s number-one go-to spot. This store is dedicated to making the perfect warm cookie at any time of day or night, and better yet, they deliver! If you have a sweet tooth or just have a craving for homemade cookies and milk, Insomnia Cookies is the place to go! Order online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.insomniacookies.com\/\">www.insomniacookies.com<\/a>.<strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>The French Crepe Truck<br \/><\/strong>(Behind Beury hall, on Norris)<br \/>It is not a real French Crepe, according to Dr. Borguet and our French members, but this truck is only a 30-second walk from our office, and their food is great. Some personal favorites are the Buffalo Chicken and Beef with all vegetables + honey mustard. Shalaka likes their seafood crepe, but Gordon hates it. If you need some extra sugar, Strawberry + Banana with chocolate sauce is a great idea.<\/p><p><strong>The Korean Truck<br \/><\/strong>(Outside the Bio Department) #\u00a0<a href=\"tel:267-342-3190\">267-342-3190<\/a><br \/>This truck possibly has the longest waiting time on campus. Waiting time can easily exceed 20 minutes. Ordering for pickup is a wise decision. Gordon\u2019s favorite is Tepanyaki with Beef on noodles. Ali orders their curry chicken with rice almost every Friday. Remember to ask for hot sauce and kimchi.<\/p><p><strong>Fames Pizza<\/strong><br \/>(On The Strip next to the Tech) #\u00a0<a href=\"tel:267-242-4737\">267-242-4737<\/a><br \/>The \u201cofficial\u201d pizza place for the Borguet group, if not the entire Chemistry Department. Whenever we have a meeting, this is where we get our pizza from. BBQ Chicken is a must-try. Other recommendations include the \u201cred vegetable\u201d and \u201cBuffalo Chicken.\u201d A whole pizza with toppings goes for $10 and $2 per slice.<br \/>Their rolls (BBQ or Buffalo Chicken) are good too. The size of the rolls are around the size of 1.5 slices of pizza.<\/p><p><strong>Master Wak<br \/><\/strong>(Liacouras Walk)<br \/>Located near the freshman dorm 1940, Master Wak serves staple Chinese-American dishes, including fried rice, General Tso\u2019s chicken, Bourbon chicken, and much more! The serving size is enough for at least two meals!<\/p><p><strong>Eddies Truck<br \/><\/strong>(Outside Student Center) #\u00a0<a href=\"tel:267-253-0183\">267-253-0183<\/a><br \/>If you smell something really good in our student office, it possibly means Gordon is having Buffalo Chicken Finger Platter that day. The smell alone got Roozbeh to come to this truck with him. The platter is big (so big you often cannot finish it) for $6.<br \/>Another favorite from this truck is the Mushroom Cheese Steak with ketchup, mayonnaise, fried onion, and hot pepper.<\/p><p><strong>Chicken Heaven Truck<br \/><\/strong>(Outside Ritter, on Liacouras Walk and Montgomery) #<a href=\"tel:215-763-7343\"><span class=\"LrzXr zdqRlf kno-fv\"><span data-dtype=\"d3ifr\" data-local-attribute=\"d3ph\">215-763-7343<\/span><\/span><\/a><br \/>You\u2019ll really feel like you\u2019re in heaven after getting something from the truck that is not only pretty on the outside, but pretty on the inside too! With a delicious selection of chicken meals, you\u2019re bound to find something that appeals to you. Whether it be their deliciously gooey and cheesy chicken cheese steaks or their chicken parm sandwich, you will love it no matter what! Edwin\u2019s favorite is the classic chicken sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes. If you can handle it, definitely try their spicier option!<\/p><p>Not satisfied?\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/issuu.com\/editingthenews\/docs\/moveable_feasts\">Movable Feasts<\/a>\u00a0is the all-inclusive guide to Philadelphia food trucks.\u00a0<em>Please check back for more updates and new places to eat here at Temple and around\u00a0<\/em><em>Philadelphia.<\/em><\/p><h4><strong><a name=\"Eat_Phil\"><\/a>Eat in Philadelphia:<\/strong><\/h4><p><em>(Brought to you by the members of the Borguet Group.)<\/em><\/p><p><strong>Pietro\u2019s Coal Oven Pizza<\/strong><br \/>(1714 Walnut St) #<a href=\"tel:215-735-8090\"><span class=\"LrzXr zdqRlf kno-fv\"><span data-dtype=\"d3ifr\" data-local-attribute=\"d3ph\">215-735-8090<\/span><\/span><\/a><br \/>Everyone should\u2026no,\u00a0<em>must<\/em>\u2026try Pietro\u2019s Coal Oven Pizza.

Ellen loves the margherita pizza (cheese and tomato sauce), and their pasta is also very good.<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pietrospizza.com\/\">http:\/\/www.pietrospizza.com\/<br \/><\/a><strong><br \/>Smile Cafe<\/strong><br \/>(105 S. 22nd St.) #<a href=\"tel:215-564-2502\"><span class=\"LrzXr zdqRlf kno-fv\"><span data-dtype=\"d3ifr\" data-local-attribute=\"d3ph\">215-564-2502<\/span><\/span><\/a><br \/>If you\u2019re a lover of Thai cuisine like Linh is, this is a must-try on your list. It\u2019s an art-filled setting with dim lighting, and the place is not too big, making it a perfect charming\/cozy place for a small group gathering, or simply a date with a friend or two. The duck with green curry sauce is unforgettable, and seafood lemongrass, Pad Thai, and papaya salad are my all-time favorites. The prices are quite reasonable so that\u2019s always a plus. They also offer lunch hours Mon-Fri 11:30-2:30 with half-price entrees.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilecafepa.com\/\">http:\/\/www.smilecafepa.com\/<\/a><\/p><p><strong>Max Brenner: Chocolate by the Bald Man<\/strong><br \/>(1500 Walnut St. (15th St. between Walnut and Locust)) #<a href=\"tel:215-344-8150\"><span class=\"LrzXr zdqRlf kno-fv\"><span data-dtype=\"d3ifr\" data-local-attribute=\"d3ph\">215-344-8150<\/span><\/span><\/a><br \/>The first thing you notice when you walk up to the door is the chocolate aroma spilling out of the place. They, of course, have chocolate, and it\u2019s a lot at that. From chocolate pizza (with a choice of many sweet toppings) to chocolate soup (with a side of fruit and marshmallows!) and on to the usual desserts, they\u2019ve got it all. But it\u2019s not just a place to live out all of your chocolate-covered fantasies. There\u2019s pretty amazing dinner food (like their chicken sandwiches), and great drinks (Ashley always orders the blueberry tea). The atmosphere is relaxed and social; the lights are dim, and each table is brightened by a single candle. Ashley suggests not going here if you\u2019re looking for a hearty, healthy meal, but it\u2019s a truly unique experience that everyone must try.

Love the tongue and tripe tacos.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/taco-loco-philadelphia-2\">Reviews and location.<\/a><\/p><p><strong>Nam Phuong<\/strong><br \/>(1100 Washington Ave)<br \/>Nam Phuong was the first and primary wife of the last king of Vietnam during the French war. The service is excellent, and the pho is delicious (especially the special pho with oil\/broth from the top of the pho\u2019s stove). The friendly service and reasonably priced food have My and others coming back for more! The \u201cfried banana with ice cream\u201d is a must-have.
