damn it seems like forever since I had one of those half-cooked, runny omelets from fountain.

we used to have our buddy that played baseball bring us back food from Case whenever they had steak. that was the shit.

I still love industrial scrambled eggs. and I even know how they make 'em! I used to work in the cafeteria at UT

12/2/2008 9:36:22 AM

i love their fruit medley...the one with mango and papaya and pear and pineapple...i'd always get a soup bowl full with every meal

*nom*

I have to say, I've eaten cafeteria scrambled eggs in many locations and Fountain most often got them the right consistency.

12/2/2008 9:38:57 AM

I never had Fountain eggs, but the Clark ones looked like yellow cat litter, and that bothered me. I could never figure out why they chopped them up into the tiniest possible egg granules.

12/2/2008 9:40:12 AM

hmm

i have interesting memories of fountain's beef strokin'off

12/2/2008 9:41:07 AM

they're made from liquid eggs, poured out of a carton like milk. It sounds gross but it's just blended, pasteurized eggs. Quicker and less messy than cracking 50 dozen eggs every morning.

i always got the 8 meals/week plan...my parents were concerned i wasn't eating enough

i'd go in once a day, usually lunch, and just eat for an hour while working on my homework...i'd also throw apples or other fruit into my bag and fill up my 48oz nalgene with half juice and half water (too much juice is bad for you, with all that sugar) and i'd be good until the next day

i lost 20lbs my first year

i used to go in for that quick lunch burgers and hot dogs thing and see aaronburro sitting by himself, flippin out doing the weird shit that he does.

we'd point and laugh.

and now look, things are about the same

except now i point and laugh from the internet

12/2/2008 9:43:19 AM

^^ ha! I did the exact same thing, with the occasional cappuccino from the machine in the C-store to tide me over. It sucked to be hungry most of the time, but on a good note I'd go to bed earlier to make breakfast come sooner. Didn't lose any weight though. If there's every a nuclear winter I'll probably survive.

I'm pretty sure there's crack in those.

new-cu-lar

I love the eggs from the carton. It's the only way to get a great Ham/Egg/Cheese sammich

12/2/2008 9:45:41 AM

^^ ha ha ha ha. although they are delicious, as a former coffee shop employee I have to complain that they give people (including myself) a very misguided idea of what a cappuccino actually is

12/2/2008 9:46:49 AM

this is horribly unfair...i really want some fountain now!

12/2/2008 9:48:57 AM

The s'more flavored one with a squirt of caramel flavor was

12/2/2008 9:49:54 AM

oh man.....fountain..that brings back memories

and horrible memories of stomach pains

12/2/2008 10:33:27 AM

I packed on some damn weight at fountain

12/2/2008 10:34:17 AM

man, fountain

12/2/2008 10:59:05 AM

I loved Fountain back in the day. I lived in Owen and Bragaw my first two years and used to go there for dinner almost every day. My stomach never had any problems with it.

12/2/2008 11:23:57 AM

set your clock by it, 30 minutes

12/2/2008 11:25:08 AM

The "Meaty Lasagna" was actually really fucking delicious last night. I was surprised.

Also, the people on the grill in the corner making the burgers are much better this year than they have been in the past.

When I lived in Bowen my freshman year (the only year I lived on campus), we'd always get a group of friends and go eat in Fountain. Always awesome. Having the menu for the week online was good too, because some nights we'd know it sucked and would go elsewhere to eat.

jethromoore and iceshopmafia were part of the group

The geniuses at fountain keep putting cheese on the vegan option. Jerks.

12/2/2008 12:25:05 PM

^^Dinner with friends is really the only reason to ever go to fountain. Especially since it's a toss-up as to whether or not the food will be worth eating.

12/2/2008 12:26:53 PM

fountain brunch on the weekends is the best after a night of partying

wake up at 1 and go get some brunch and discuss the shenanigans from the night before
