<p>So Berkeley decisions are coming out tomorrow. Since some of us fortunate enough to get into UCLA and hopefully Berkeley tomorrow, we have a tough decision to make. Now, ignoring academics, social scene, etc for a second, lets focus on whats most important. What the hell am I going to eat? </p>
<p>So basically this thread is to help me choose between the two schools, starting from a culinary perspective. </p>
<p>So, as far as dining, Cal or UCLA?</p>
<p>Based on food, I would choose UCLA</p>
<p>UCLA. Hands down! They’re known for having great college food!</p>
<p>I read on the late night thread that cal has 24/7 sushi delivery. that is HUGE in my books.</p>
<p>whoa sushi wins hands down any day of the week</p>
<p>UCLA has everything. their dining food is actually ranked (i think 7th in the nation). Cornell is 1st i believe. Westwood has pretty much anything you ever want. They also have diddy riese! (ice cream cookie sandwiches). </p>
<p>Cal has lots of nice restaurants in the city, however they get old very fast. Cal oncampus dining food isnt great.</p>
<p>go bruins!
…yeah im a little biased haha</p>
<p>the 24/7 sushi delivery sounds cool…but if your talking about food in the dining halls, i think UCLA has better food. I would compare the quality of UCLA’s dorm food to Hometown Buffet, which isn’t the best quality, but very good for dorm food…lol</p>
<p>with that said, I would still go to Cal…i’m not making my decision based on which school has better food…hahahaha</p>
<p>well it is LA. I also have a tendency to indulge in fine dining. damn, i really think the food will sway me towards one school more than the other. haha</p>
<p>UCLA. this isn’t even a contest.</p>
<p>diddy riese is the bomb!!! and they got this place that the students used to call buck-fifties that sells some ok sandwiches for cheap. if you drive down sawtelle towards santa monica blvd there’s a place called hurry curry that’s pretty bomb…they got tommy burger’s in socal, which has the best chili cheese burgers and chili cheese fries…there’s a place called tito’s tacos off washington and pico i think that has the best tacos i’ve ever had…and if you wanna splurge, they have some great resataurants…lawry’s has the best prime rib…it melts in your mouth…they have some great creamed spinich and i don’t even like spinich…lol</p>
<p>All you guys that are advocating for UCLA’s food have no idea what the Bay Area has.</p>
<p>Bay Area food does not get boring. We have EVERYTHING imaginable here. The food in the SF area is incredible. As for Berkeley, they have pretty good food! Not to mention the best food in the world right nextdoor in SF. :)</p>
<p>UCB food ftw! Top Dog! Blondie’s pizza! </p>
<p>Just trust me.</p>
<p>Cal has better vegetarian/vegan options on campus.</p>
<p>24/7 thai food delivered at ucla…and there is some great places to get pho in westwood</p>
<p>emilsinclair9 this may be the first time I have to disagree with you but blondies went down the hole. It was hella good back in 03 and back before they remodeled. </p>
<p>But for anyone coming to Berkeley come over to SF and have a sandwich at Ikes there a reason people wait up to an hour in line for one.CRACK!!!</p>
<p>^ Yes. I love me my Thai. I can do without Sushi (it tastes much better when you’re not eating it every other day) but… Thai… I need good Thai. And Westwood has good Thai.</p>

<p>@ Johnny: I’ll be honest, I haven’t been to Blondie’s in years! lol. However, you gotta admit - Top Dog is great! I also like Smart Alec’s, the Noah’s bagels on Telegraph (Bagels are my favorite food lmao), and pretty much everywhere else that I can’t think of right now. Oh, and Cal has a jamba juice like right off of campus.</p>
<p>@emil
haha I live in the bay. I say HELLA! ahaha
but seriously…ucla food is bomb</p>
<p>HELLA</p>
<p>Yeah emilsinclair9 stay away from blondies now and yeah top dog is the good. For Pizza in Berkeley check out Emilia’s Pizzeria or The Cheeseboard Pizza Collective.</p>
<p>The Cheeseboard! I’m going there tomorrow or Saturday! Everyone keeps telling me to check it out haha. Thanks for reminding me!</p>
<p>HELLA FTW!</p>
