Whenever I go downtown, it's either Hokie House or the Cellar for dinner, Mike's or Sharkey's for lunch. Only time I eat PK's is if every other place is too packed or it gets catered here at work.
So I may be looking into this a bit much, and also contradicting the comment I made earlier, but yesterday CJ retweeted something about DaShawn Hand having a top 2 of Michigan and VT. I know that's not much, but CJ doesn't follow the person who tweeted that so clearly he was going out of his way to find something to tweet about Hand. Also, in regards to the Oscar Smith guys, I doubt Reavis is that tite with them since they aren't from the same region. So hyping them up when he hasn't hyped up any of our other commitments since the spring game wouldn't make that much sense. Lastly, Evan Watkins (247 writer) is THE recruiting guru for the state of Virginia and not only did he predict Hand to come here just last Friday, but he also tweeted about Reavis' prediction.
This is all grasping for straws, but I'm starting to think this commitment might actually be pretty big.
The turkey sandwich from the Blue Ridge BBQ was awesome. I was skeptical of the chipotle mayo or whatever that stuff was at first, but it was amazing. Cheese Steaks and the blue plate specials at owen's were always on point too, not to mention the cannolis.
on campus -
that yankee pot roast at owens was the best blue plate special ever. especially with their mac n cheese

bag of chicken fingers from DX at 1am

tijuana toss at PKs was pretty awesome but cabo and boudreauxs had some of the best food dt i think
JC has been a mini recruiter all year
As of last spring they still did the Sunday all you can eat wing buffet. I am unsure about wednesday.
Gumby's closed????
Well here is your food update:
Cochrane dining hall was opened up to everyone and changed its name to West End, its delicious but crowded.
Owens I imagine is the same.
Dietrick was updated to D2, a little better, but the "D2 dash" is definitely a thing.
Hokie Grill (I doubt there was ever a bar in there) no longer has a burger place. Now its just Pizza Hut, Chicfila, Blueridge BBQ, and Dunkin Donuts.
Shultz was closed and replaced with Turner, which has good food (Qdoba) but is always slammed with people.
Brown transferred to O.Smith the summer JC enrolled at Tech, so they didn't overlap. But yea, I'm sure JC is hitting up his high school weight room and talking to the players when he's back home. He'll definitely help sway some opinions.
I normally don't like in-forum spats (hokiehaven... Ahem), but I laughed at the way you escalated that quickly with the ass clown comment. Turkey leg.
Cosign
I just had a plan, I'm quitting my job and starting a Virginia Tech style dining hall in Northern Virginia. All the classics. Boom.
On Campus:
1. The red skin mashed potatoes from BRBBQ.
2. Spending all the Hokie Dining Dollars at the end of the semester on 12 oz steaks at West End, 5 days in a row.
Off Campus:
1. The lunch special at the Cellar, 3 topping pizza plus a drink for $5.
2. Pokey Sticks
3. Boudreaux's (anything on the menu) and Poor Billy's (raw bar - oysters) - Helps get that fix between Sugar Bowl visits
4. And the Farmhouse - So Delicious. Has to be the best pregame meal (make sure Hand knows about the Farmhouse!)
FUCK BENNYS
Famous Anthony's? If so, they made the most banging breakfast too. They had awesome biscuits and gravy, and their Denver omelette was money.
I was a student manager at HoGrill for 4+ years so I feel a great sense of pride seeing all of these 'HoGrill this, HoGrill that was my fav"
I'm a Falcons fan because they did draft him, eliminating Matt Schaub from the team. Now I don't root for the Texans. Put a HooQB on a Texas team and I'm done.
Oh my goodness I forgot about El Rodeo.
There was also that restaurant in the Adelphia shopping center (across from the Main St ABC, with Hardees) that made a killer chicken bacon sandwich with some ridiculous sauce. I could eat that thing all the time.
I always loved BW3's for wings and chili cheese fries. We don't have one up here in State College, it makes me almost as sad as knowing there is no more Cinnabon.
Yeah I feel like we offered some of those guys with intentions of reeling in Brown. JC went to oscar smith, hopefully he's doing some recruiting for us.
On campus,
1) West End pasta, with the garlic sticks
2) Fire Grill at Turner's. Fried chicken, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and freakin apple cobbler.
3) Steak at West End
Off campus, I can't nam just one.
1) Arros con Pollo at El Rod's (so what if it's made in 5 minutes)
2) Bacon cheese fries at Hokie House
3) Calzones at The Cellar (it's basically 3 calzones in one and all 3 are life-changing)
4) Firehouse pizza and sticks (sober or drunk but preferably the latter)
5) Homeplace (duh)
Farmhouse FTW in 2003.
This qualifies as sad news. Dunkin Donuts is whack.
I have sad news. Cinnabon closed and now it's Dunkin Donuts.
The amount of cheese steak sandwiches I had from Owens could easily run into the hundreds of pounds. Extra shrooms and jalapenos with a side of fries.
Off campus, my favorite place is Souvlakis. I try and stop there at least once on every trip to Blacksburg.
