    Rainbows make me happy

    Rainbows make people happy. Food can make people happy. Put the two together and I am pretty sure that is a recipe for world peace. I’m always on the look out for eclectic recipes. If you have read my past blog posts, you know that I am not the best cook. Alright, alright, I’m horrible, […]

    Guest column by Sawyer Cobb, senior nutrition major from Midland Hi guys, Sawyer here!

    Larry’s boasts better burgers for 49 years

    On the bleak stretch of road known as Treadaway Boulevard lies a true Abilene gem, Larry’s Better Burgers. The drive-in sits at 1233 N Treadaway Blvd. and has been in business since 1967.

    Greek Cafe offers health food near campus

    You just got lucky if you’re a lover of Greek cuisine who doesn’t want to drive to the other side of town. The Greek Cafe opened at the corner of Treadaway Boulevard and Ambler Avenue less than a month ago, and it’s only a mile and a half away from campus, across the street from […]

Snow days curb culinary crusades

February 2, 2011 by Laura Acuff

Snowball fights, snowmen, snow angels and, best of all, cancelled class. Snow days disrupt everyday routine and offer respite from winter monotony. But in the face of iced-over roads and limited supplies, food can become a scarcer-than-normal necessity. And in Abilene, where people are more accustomed to dust storms and grass fires, ice and snow ... [Read More…]

January 31, 2011 by Linda Bailey

Abilene is home to four Jack N Jill Donut Shops, but they don't all bring the same donuts to the table. Each location provides a different atmosphere and a different donut.

"Ending my college education early was always the plan for me, but the things that I have been able to see, experience and examine about ACU’s community were not.
