Description
It all started out with the Fat Cat, a Rutgers University staple invented in 1979. Today, RU Hungry is more than just a question on the Rutgers campus. It 's THE place to go for the best food around for miles. RU Hungry is where you 'll find the " Fat Sandwiches ". There are literally dozens of them! The Fat Cat invented in 1979 was the original but then in 1997 a student named Darrell Butler walked up to the window and wanted something different. Darrell made up his own combination of ingredients, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks and French fries topped off with lettuce, tomatoes and marinara sauce and asked if he could have it all on one sandwich. This was the creation of the " Fat Darrell " , soon to be named the #1 Sandwich in the Country by Maxim Magazine!!
RU Hungry is not only an institution on campus it's gone National! RU Hungry has been featured on Good Morning America and CN8. The Travel Channel featured them on their " Extreme Pig Outs " and included them in the 101 Best Places to Chow Down " The Chow Down Count Down ". Adam Richman from Travel Channel 's Man vs. Food to came to try to RU's " Fat Sandwich Challenge ". Adam accepted the challenge and made a terrific effort , in fact it was one of the best, but sadly in Adam 's own words " food won ". The challenge goes like this : First, you need to choose five of your favorite Fat Sandwiches. Then the tough part, you need to completely finish all five sandwiches in just 45 minutes. If you do it you get to create and name your own Fat Sandwich to be included on RU's menu. That 's eternal recognition! If you win you 'll also know that you were among the elite. Over 250 have tried yet less than 20 have beaten the challenge!
The grease trucks of which RU is the most famous were removed from their long time location in August 2013, to be relocated throughout the New Brunswick and Piscataway campuses. The trucks can now be found by the Allison Road Classroom building on Busch Campus, near the Cook Campus Center on Cook Campus, and near the Alexander Library.
RU Hungry ? is no longer on College Ave which is the main drag of the New Brunswick campus. All the food trucks have been relegated to the far reaches of the campus. Another great tradition bites the dust.
