TOP RATED MANAGEMENT COMPANY

with 9 locations around town

WE HAVE LAWRENCE COVERED

BEST DISH: Truffle fries at The Burger Stand

Why it won:

ossed in truffle butter and parmesan cheese, Te Burger Stand’s truffle fries are aLawrence staple. Tey come served with a smorgasbord of dipping sauces if eating themplain isn’t your fancy. If you’re worried about the fries not pairing well with your burgeror hot dog, rest easy. Te truffle fries complement all of Te Burger Stand’s entrees.

BEST BURGER: The Burger Stand

Why it won:

Offering seven types of burgers, ranging from the Classic to the Barnyard Bash, TeBurger Stand has a savory burger for everyone. Te Burger Stand offers Kobe beef up-grades, as well, for those who l ike a leaner meat. Unlike fast-food joints, each burger iscooked to order and served with fresh greens.

BEST ONCAMPUS FOOD: Chick-fil-A

Why it won:

Chick-fil-A takes this category as the University’s one-stop shop for down-home South-ern cooking. Located in Te Underground at Wescoe Hall, Chick-fil-A offers a simple,straightforward menu of Southern-style fried chicken strips, sandwiches, nuggets andmore fried goodness.

Interesting facts:

S. ruett Cathy, a devout Southern Baptist, founded Chick-fil-A in Atlanta, Ga., in 1946.

Chick-fil-A locations are not open Sundays, which is just fine with us since we don’thave class Sundays.

Chick-fil-A was the first fast-food restaurant to adopt a trans-fat free cooking model.Rumor has it that a full Chick-fil-A location will open in Lawrence in the near future.

BEST BREAKFAST: The Roost

Why it won:

Te Roost is a haven for brunch lovers. If you’re in the mood for something savory and

comforting, the biscuits and gravy taste like they’re straight from grandma’s kitchen.Something a little more on the adventurous side is the Smoked Salmon Benny — youwon’t be let down with its perfect combination of salty smoked salmon and sweet hollan-daise sauce. Te Rooster is one of its most popular dishes, offering diners the choice ofFrench toast, pancakes or potato pancakes, two eggs and either bacon or sausage. Openfrom 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, with lunch starting at 11 a.m., Te Roost is guaranteed to havesomething you can devour. And for those of you who like to accompany your meal with adrink, there are cocktails, bloody marys and wine also available.
