Emily's blog

on my other blog i have a series called beverage du jour, i write about interesting beverages i find around the city. it could be a type of coffee, an iced tea, or even an interesting pop flavor i find! i’m from the midwest, so what i call pop you may call soda or coke. i’ll always be a pop girl though.

every friday on this blog i’ll be posting an interesting food fact! may be a recipe, a cool food place, an awesome meal that i had, anything FOOD.

this week, i’m going to write about my favorite food place,

anyone that knows me knows that i would eat joy burger bar every day forever. myself and 1760 RA Janey went to joy burger twice in one day the other day,  and i could still go eat it again.

at joy burger you can customize your burger. they have your standard toppings like lettuce, tomato, and onion, but then they also have toppings like avacado, chili, and even jalapenos! at joy burger bar they make fresh sauces every day: garlic mayo, spicy mango sauce, sweet chili sauce, and chimichurri. this stuff is awesome. and if you live at the 1760 Third Avenue residence, you’ve seen the delivery guys in their navy blue jumpsuits probably every 10 minutes. college students love joy burger because its so cheap! check out their menu  here.

whenever you call they take your phone number and they put your name in the computer, so if you call often (like me) then they say “…emily?” i reply “yep, that’s me!” what’s even better is they ask “do you want the usual?” now that is great service! and also sad that i order from there that often, and always get the same thing. but it’s so good!

here’s my order:
munch (3oz.) burger
lettuce
tomato
raw onion
jalapenos
avacado
chedder cheese
spicy mayo

i get different sides, but my favorites are the side salad with homemade balsamic vinagarette and the fried zuchinni sticks with homemade chimichurri sauce.
