This chart doesnt give you precise amounts and some numbers are innacurate so let me clear up here
30kcals per plum
78 per one 2-3'' apple(small), 116 per one 3'' apple (large)
45 per cup of chopped up watermelon
40 in 10 MEDIUM sized strawberries
1 kcal in 1 raspberry. So 10=10
In 10 red cherries there are 45 kcals
17 in 1 apricot
119 for a whole papaya so 59 for half
60 in a cup of cut cantaloupe
50 per 1 orange,
201 in a whole mango, 100 in a cup of cubed mango
37 per 1 tangerine
50 in 1 medium peach
105 in a 7'' banana, 70 if it's less than 6'' long
82 in a cup of pineapple cubes, 452 in whole thing (ik no ones eating a whole pineapple but yk)
20 in 5 olives
64 in a cup of cubes honeydew, 360 for whole thing
33 in 1 large cucumber, 10 in a mini, 8 in a cup of slices
42 in 1 kiwi
100 in a medium pear
240 in 1 avocado
82 in a cup of blueberries, 1 per blueberry
62 per cup of grapes, 2 per small grape
62 per cup of blackberries, 2 per small blackberry
EXTRA
Breakfast tips I learned at the hospital
One english muffin is 130 but if you cut it so you're only eating the edges it will look like youre eating the whole thing but only be getting a 3rd or about 45kcals!! and 1 teaspoon of margarine will cover both of those "halves" and there's 35 kcals in that. so 80 that looks like 160.
A cup of dry plain cheerios is also 80
78 in one large egg BUT throw out the yolk and only have the white. It looks like a full over easy egg but the white is only 17 kcals. Trust me on this one, have it for every meal you can get away with.
Fruit salad
10 raspberries=10kcal
half a small banana, thinly sliced=35kcal
5 thinly sliced strawberries=20kcal
15 blueberries=15kcal
2 tsp sugar free table syrup=0kcal LITERALLY BEST THING EVER
total 80 kcal and the syrup makes it the best breakfast in the world while adding no calories but it makes you feel like youre eating pancakes and keeps you full.
Frozen waffle/pancake, 1=95kcals
Lunch
Use the english muffin excuse to make a sandwhich with just lettuce in it and whatever veggies you like.
what I do is 1 english muffin cut to look like halves but its a 3rd = 45kcal
1/4 cup lettuce=1-2kcal
1 slice of tomato=3
if you want more you can have 30kcal of margarine (1 tsp) on the toasted muffin and half a cheese slice which is 56kcal. so i dont reccomend it.
plus 1 egg white if you want=17
or fake balogny (im a strict vegetarian of 8 years) for 20kcal and like 5g of protien
Supper
One pack of mr noodles has 190kcal. never eat more than half
always make a salad if you can. most can be made under 20kcals and actually taste amazing but dont add dressing they're really high cal.
RICE CAKE PIZZA
this is made to look like you're eating a lot
2 plain rice cakes=70
or one tomato basil=60
2 tbsp grated cheese=70
or 1 tbsp herbed goat cheese=35
slice some mini tomatos and mushrooms/peppers, onions, ect=5kcal
total 100-145 and it tastes amazing
this one would be hard to hide bc the brand name is literally skinny noodles but buy some skinny noodles (9 kcal per serving!! vegan and gluten free) and put them in a box or something. my family puts our noodles in long containers so it wouldnt be noticed and the package could be thrown away

y’know when you do something and you know it’ll have consequences later and then you get to “later” and consequences occur and you’re just like “ah. yes. I did do this to myself and consequently cannot even pretend at shock or indignation”? that’s me rn

Some advices when you tend to binge
1. I always have the same craving : PASTA PIZZA
We all know it. The smell of this fatty and delicious but calorie bomb food. It’s almost impossible to restrict it it’s sooo hard to fight against it.
MY ADVICE WHICH ALWAYS HELPS ME:
Choose one day in a week when your craving is really unstoppable. It doesn’t have to be the same day every week but you should at least have 4 days inbetween.
If you can’t restrict the pasta, then always take pasta Napoli ( tomato sauce ) normally there shouldn’t be any cream, also there’s no meat and it’s a lot of lower in calories than other sauces.
Try to sleep at least until 12 am or 1 pm ( if it’s possible for you) and eat the pasta around 5 pm.
Why ?
Because when you wake up at 1pm and your last food was around 7 or 8 pm, your body could fast long enough through your sleeping phase to already start burning your fat. So first of all, you wake up with a flatter stomach.
When you wake up, don’t eat breakfast, just skip this, drink a veggie broth , a tea, a coffee anything you’d like ( sugar free ) . When it’s normally time for lunch, go for a walk for at least one hour.
When you go home again, prepare yourself a plate with cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, lettuce and eat this pretty healthy snack after you prepared it with love ( this takes time and your eyes it’s with you). Don’t forget to put one some spices like a little spoon of Balsamico on your tomato, pepper on your cucumber and some lemon juice on your zucchini.
Be creative!
Now your stomach is filled with healthy stuff and vitamins and it’s gonna be satisfied. When it’s gonna be 5pm, go and cook your pasta because you deserved it !!! DONT EAT TOO FAST! Enjoy it! I always have like 150g pasta with self made tomato sauces which is more or less 450 kcal.
SO YOU SEE :
You didn’t had breakfast (0 calories), some veggies for lunch ( so small calorie amount, you don’t even have to count) and then your pasta around 450 kcal. You have enough space for more veggies when you tend to eat around 7 or 8pm again but really, you won’t need it because your body gonna feel satisfied. And with my experience I can say that on the next day I either didn’t gain anything (which I always did when I had breakfast in the morning and then eat pasta or pasta for real lunch) or I even lost some because I had a long fasting time during sleeping. When you do your pasta, take long spaghettis and break then in the middle. They gonna be shorter and when you cook it, it will look like more, so you gonna trick your brain a bit.
ALSO : take a smaller plate than usual because when you put it on the little plate, you gonna eat it slower, there won’t be enough space for a lot of your food AND you can take another portion bc 2 portions on a little plate is like one portion on a bigger plate but with both we tend to take a second portion. So : you see what’s better ?
NOW WE GO TO PIZZA: NEVER eat your pizza alone.
Try to share at least the half of it with your sister or your parents. Don’t cut it in slices. Take your fork and knife and always cut some pieces which are perfect to put in the mouth.
This sounds maybe hard for some but for me it’s not a big deal bc I don’t like it that much :
Cut the crust out.
I always like to give it to my dog, we both are happy about it. If you don’t have a dog then put the crust in a little cup or bowl with water. You’ll see, it won’t be crispy and delicious anymore.
If you can find it in your local stores : take VEGAN pizzas, you can’t imagine how many calories you gonna save bc there’s NO REAL CHEESE !
So : half a pizza with no crust : around 350 kcal. You can also follow the time rules like with the pasta , it’s the same process - DONT FORGET TO SAY HYDRATED AND DRINK A LOT. IF YOUD LIKE TO YOU CAN SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THIS METHOD IN THE COMMENTS 💕 if you’d like to have some recipes, feel free to ask !

June Small Wins
1 - ecmocard meeting with ppl from aussie to learn to sort out data. Felt better after the meeting cause i didnt feel like doing anything before. Got two season deli box cake from dapur cokelat for nessa. Videocalled w her and ren.
2 - dr eva chatted and gave things to do. I also need to make intern log for dr retha. I just cant bring myself to start. Finally mustered the courage. Im not the type of person for wfh. At least in this house. Finished reading love or hate. I rly felt like shit at night.
3 - started reading positively yours. Had no will to do anything
4 - some more sending spss work for dr eva. weekdays with no “outside work” rly render me useless in functioning. a vegetable
5 - iluni webinar. Lost my attention during electrolyte and fluid stuff. tried to cook ribeye steak lmao (meat from @/fridaymeatshop). Its too chewy and leathery. But its not too welldone. And at least it tastes good. Went to depok by krl. its quite quick since krl arrived just after im at poris and duri. went ahead of silvi devi. satpam on the lobby wont open the access hhhh (i dont have one. i dunno why. mom said she cant find it although we supposedly have 2). but my mood improved once im upstairs. we prepped a bit of deco. conversed in the dark so not to make racheel suspicious. surprisee. had truffle belly chicken cheese for dinner. the cheese was not to cheesy, its more of a gentle taste. mushroom tastes better. we watched sweet and sour from my mobile data. surprisingly, its not that much of data. slept at like 12-1ish
6 - the electric token went out in the morning. we went for a walk in ui. the PLK man across of st ui forbade us from going in. ugh. but it was rly empty. so we went from barel. its empty on the library. there was a dog that walked along with us. talked a bit in front of the lake. went back. i got 2 moon chicken (the basic flavor and not the wings) and spicy jumeokbap. the jumeokbap was nothing like what i had in korea. like the seaweed’s taste doesnt come out that much, and its not that flavorful/savory. the one in korea its good even by itself. went back to jkt nebeng reza silvi with devi. originally planned to go to flavola, but my head kinda hurts, so i finished my moon chicken at the mushola and asked juan to pick me up. still feel healthy and normal after going and staying out, so i started reading a book abt handwriting analysis lmaoo. fell asleep. tried several attempts to figure out my bpjs number and turns out the best there is to respond is BPJS’ twitter. the problem was solved under 5 mins. 
7 - woke up, fell asleep again. Adita told me that i might be interviewed today for the ipd intern but theres no info. Did the registration stuff for my bpjs. Registered for npwp. Watched bts x na pd
8 - off to RSF. its audit day today. hiks to phonecall follow up work. i did not do anything inaco related, i just sat there and did dr dafsah’s excel. dr vera bought me pecel ayam hehe yay. went to como park to meet up with indah regen. tried ricotta pizza from pizza place (33k). the cheese is cheese but not that typical cheesy (?) coupled with mushroom. i had to add sauce to withstand the last bites (still kinda full). tried other’s as well, pesto and mushroom. pesto had the most taste. while waiting for doggo to arrive, we bought gelato (S: 35k). apparently their special flavor was ricotta lmao. tried green tea (bitter, which i like) and peanut butter + caramel, which makes you feel thirsty. watched the doggos from the sidelines. after maghrib we went to 1/15. ordered ice mocha (50k). the chocolate taste stood out more. not gonna order again lol. the staff initially recommended pandan flavor. took grab to gbk station to go home.
9 - rsf. second audit day. i hate it here lmao. im not even paid for my time here. excused myself to eat. turns out mbak Ai bought hokben. i almost forgot thanking her since i felt hungry with a bit of headache. talked a bit with dr retha regarding changes of assistant (since internship is soon). went back and immediately laid down in bed. mom bought pizza so thats what i ate for dinner. fell asleep (i can feel it. my face will get consequences)
10 - cant bring myself to do anything. i reread painter of the night lmao. seungho is a prick. inhun is also a prick (a greedy one). ate arirang bone marrow. put the egg-seasoning mixture to the pan since im not confident enough to just pour boiling water into the bowl. felt surprisingly full. went to sbux. green tea latte as usual. but turns out tumblr 50% promo only applies to sbux member. so i had to pay 40k for my green tea latte. at least i got to feel good from outside vibes. did some follow up for INACO patients. 
11 - went to rm rsf. Took lots of photos of RM. I was given rujak by the rm staff lmaoo so cute. Didnt do any entry afterwards lmao i just laid down
12 - breakfast is paldo jjajangmen and egg. It tasted like soy. Its good but not in a micin way. Its quite fulfilling. Had some of the beef slices by putting it in a buttered pan (is it pan fried? Grilled? Idk). Had banana and brownies together (makes it rly good). Did a bit of clires work. I drank sbux's caramel macchiato but yall my stomach cant handle it lmao. It hurts so much that i even got a headache. So i just laid down in bed
13 - had arirang again loll. Inserted the egg to the pan still, but quicker this time. Its too salty today. Maybe its not enough water. I was eating it while googling how to remove excess sodium. Ate the rest of beef slices (shared with bros ofc) and mixed some with moms fried rice. Ate banana brownies again. Felt soooo full. Did some clires work accompanied by sbux matcha
14 - i felt like shit this morning. Watched leahs vid. Listened to her podcast while having bfast. I walked from moms car to bougenville while still feeling like shit. It slowly gets better afterwards, thankfully. Did some clires and follow up. Went to gandy steak in dr retha's car (which had anesthesiology textbook inside). Tried aus sirloin steak. The bread tasted ok. The garlic bread also ok. The mashed potato was so so (the one in depok was more creamy and smooth). The steak was good, especially the fat part, the sauce so so. Honestly that depok steak had more value for money compared to this, i think. Nebeng dr rara and husband to busway station. Arrived in ar and i immediately showered, such wow 👏👏
15 - today is no rsf day aka self made wfh day. Moms getting vaccinated today. I just lazed. And read kanej fics
16 - off to rsf. Took care of rm stuff. Tried social affair's croffle since i was so curious (60k [10k tip]). The nutella and cinnamon sugar one. Its crunchy and a bit crumbly inside, but not as fragile as croissant. Its quite fulfilling too. But its basically flour batter variations. (thats what mom would say). randomly chatted racheel and we ended up taking a walk and a bit of jog citra 6 (with my sneakon regular shoes). My left tendon was screaming lol. Picked up by juan who surprisingly effortlessly found the address at night.
17 - mbak aan chatted me today to go to rscm. Met prof murdani at pesc and he gave me ppt assigment for 13:30 THAT DAY. Finished it unsatisfyingly (i wish i couldve done more). Lunch was free bebek bkb yay thankyou Prof c: (he even asked what did i ate) took care of legalisir stuff. Went home by tj. Drank matcha w vsoy and i somehow was not sleepy after maghrib. I also changed my desj layout. Maybe it kinda works to separate my spaces
18 - arrived at rscm at 8-ish. sent updated thibbun nabawi ppt. literature search. and then somehow its 14:30. went to SCI w ara wani rasyid. tried bandeng nyonya, oyster, salmon, cumi lada garam (its crazy good among all the good tasting food wtff), shrimp and pocai telor (veggie stuff). dessert was thailand cassava. spent about 190k. went back by TJ. had wudu at pulomas and prayed ashar on the bus lol. i passed out after playing w my phone lmaoo  
19 - spent almost the whole day just sleeping and eating. finally showered in the afternoon. had matcha vsoy latte after maghrib and with enough day sleeping, i did presentation outline. at like 1/2 am i initially planned to sleep but my eyes still have plenty of watts. so i read hold me tight. slept at like 4/5 am
20 - woke up at 9. off to om dokter’s house to ask for healthy letter. we talked almost the entire time im there lol. before u know it mom and dad’s done talking with grandma. om dokter shared some of his experiences in the past. and he said something about making your choice and living with it, and it will all have a meaning even if you might initially agonize about it. girl i was holding back tears. here he was talking about choices, something i never rly talk about at my house. im getting teary just typing this. he talked about it in a way that sounds simple, even though i agonized abt internship choices and sometimes avoid thinking about it. it rly rly was a new experience. i dont rly talk about “choices” with my parents. so hearing how to go through options in life from a person i can relate to regarding this med stuff is. i feel like i would have loved it if i can hear his wisdom earlier. i dont talk with him much if my parents are around bcs they will just meddle and say stuff that wreck my peace. they dont rly know what im going through but can be very opinionated. this peaceful one on one talk rly made me feel relieved and reassured. and i was today years old when i found out he initially wanted to be a psychiatrist. he would have been a great psychiatrist. i feel like we have some understanding thats left unsaid. like he knows how my parents are like. he would probably understand why i dont talk with him much at AR. after what feels super quick, we went back to AR. registered for STR. searched some literature for the topics that Prof is the moderator of. powered by matcha energy
21 - rscm as usual. the Prof did not come. lunch was bread i brought from home. waited for mom to pick me up at kfc so i bought pukis kfc. its like properly made pukis and not the street seller made ones. the chocolate one was good since the toppings generous. felt a bit feverish? like my body felt warm. fell asleep and then suddenly its 6 am in the morning. 
22 - Prof still did not came. had amart’s ayam penyet jamur for lunch. turns out juan bought ayam geprek gendut for dinner. night time is diarrhea time lmaooooo. did not feel sleepy at AR but i skipped shower again lmao,,,,,,,, and then suddenly its morning again
23 - jajan from sisterfield today. tried their carrot cake and kopi susu gula aren. the carrot cake has that carrot texture. its different. the icing was fresh cream cheese that made the cake taste good. the coffee made my stomach ache a bit. it has that subtle chocolatey taste. fell asleep again. third time’s the charm (of 1x/day face wash). woke up at 3 am planning to sleep but i ended up washing my face. turns out atikah was still awake due to AZ fever.
24 - this is the bestest sleep i had in this week (?) had a dream about going to bandung and the car falling to water. forgot my headset today. can finally meet prof Mur. talked abt inaco stuff w agassi. reread komugi meruem lmaoo. felll asleep. somehow had the misfortune of hearing dad’s hurtful words to mom. i want to fall asleep again but its difficuly. i went through stages of pent up anger, some sort of selfishness (i will go out from jakarta for internship), amazement to mom, and... (continue 2moro)
25 - lunch was dori rice from kanprim thanks to rasyid’s jastip. watched bts’ butter norebang lolll :(((. arrived at AR the fastest ive been. mom came to me right before maghrib and  summed some stuff dad said yesterday. she handled it in a trivial way. like she was unaffected. and that somehow helped me too. stuck around in the dining room for a while after maghrib. talked about internship w mom. i left some chance for dad to yap yap abt whatever related to internship (thankfully songs were full volume through my wireless headset) while im inhaling through my matcha latte. i wont write what he said bcs its lowkey super embarrassing. thank the gods for wireless speakers. 
26 - did not do anything productive today. Had arirang salted egg for bfast (wont repurchase). Had the meat cubes i bought online and its rly good. Ran with racil at citra 6. The tendon in my left feet hurt lol. Gmeet with ara et al to discuss internship review
27 - lazed. Wanted to start my day early but couldnt bring myself to. Binge watched twoset videos. Did clires stuff. 1 more RM to wait from IRMIK. No gastro intern work this weekend aaaa im starting to panic.
28 - juan came along otw to rscm. Talked about iship otw. brought tons of stuff to eat, including matcha latte, but i was unable to finish it lol. Discussed research budgeting w Prof. Didnt do anything in home. Starting to panic with my ppt progress.
29 - discussed budgeting revision. Prof thought abt little details i didnt even consider. Didnt do anything while at ar anjengggg
30 - prof did not come to dept today. Listemed to agassi rambling abt intern stuff. Immediately opened my laptop in ar. Watched two set. Played marapets lmaooo i finally managed to gather 3 au for shop pricer. But still didnot wash my face 👁️👄🤦‍♀️ maybe bcs i hate doing what people tells me to do (re: shower due to covid scare). Had a nightmare abt being in a car ride alone w dad and it was rly rly awkward

One of the most recommended burgers to order in this place is The Americana, which is made up of all-beef patty, special sauce, lettuce, cheddar cheese, onions, and pickles locally made bun. It is a delicious and sloppy burger, and why the hell would you ever put it down before finishing it! Perfectly toasted bun, juicy beef patty, and the right amount of dressing! The dressing is their special merch sauce, which is also served with the fries. You can also try their signature burger made with two Rivers dry-aged ground beef and served on a freshly baked Livia Sweets burger bun. One notable thing about this burger place is that you can substitute veggie patty for no additional charge. The staff in this restaurant are all super friendly and welcoming. American is a clean and spacious restaurant with lots of cool illustrations. The decoration is not messy, but there is definitely a lot to see. Lots of vibrant colours, contemporary and cute. There are lots of tables and seats inside the restaurant and a few of them outside. There are also some arcade games and 2 ATMs inside the restaurant, so it is convenient to have cash, but they obviously take cards.

Inside, the restaurant is a bit dim, but you will the vibe, and the blue lighting is not tacky but just right. So, if you are looking for a perfect combination of savoury and sweet burgers to enjoy your day, The American will be your destination; you will not be disappointed.

Being Alone, Appalled, and Apparently: ROCKY lapped in the face by a 3 Yr. old roughed up by a drunk, a sweet, sensitive, affectionate boy dreams of a loving home & the happiness he deserves Id 63919, 4 Yrs. 78 lbs., of Love Manhattan ACC TO BE KILLED – 6/1/2019 We were appalled. The parent stated that Rocky loved the children he lived with and would even let the 3 yr. old hit him in the face and do nothing. The parent’s drunk friend would come over and roughhouse with poor Rocky (and we all know what that means!) and they never did anything to stop it! Despite it all, sweet, affectionate Rocky wanted only to please his family, and would do anything to get them to love him. He would happily greet, and jump up and kiss, new people and was playful and gentle with the kids. Now he sits alone, missing pizza night when he would playfully steal a slice off his dad’s plate, and he misses sleeping in his bed and cuddling. Scared and confused, his eyes are so full of sadness and grief that it brings us to tears. Look at him, just LOOK at him. Lying in his lonely kennel, huddled up, his small paws touching, looking out of the bars and hoping with all his gentle heart that his parent will return. Because despite being hit in the face, or tossed about by drunks, those moments pale when compared to the good times, the happy times, and the moments of grace with a parent who didn’t protect him, and has now abandoned him for the worst and lamest excuse of all – ALLERGIES. ☹ Please save this poor boy. Give him a better life. He needs an experienced foster or adopter in an adult only home (kids over age 13 ok).

ugh i messed up again (but only a little ig... it could've been worse) it only took 3 days for me to mess up my first pizza... they let me "fix it" after the rush was over bc it only had one topping and no cheese yet so i took off the sausage and piled on pineapple (bc that's the only pizza i like) but i couldn't Not eat at least one slice so people didn't think (read: know) that i have an eating problem. so i had a slice of over-cheesed (bc i got distracted) pineapple pizza at 7:43 pm... (and i figured it was around 400 calories... yikes) and it took a Lot of willpower (and the knowledge that another rush was starting) not to chug half my water bottle and purge it in the bathroom. but im not gonna panic! im just gonna be more mindful in the future (i.e. Not hyperfocus on the 'oops we messed this up' rack) and im gonna have some green tea, maybe take a cold bath or shower, treat myself with one of my firefly bathbombs perhaps. i took it home bc it's free and if i eat one slice a day every other day until it's gone, ill be okay.

If you like being a carnivore, you will love Shiraz Shish Kabob. Read complete EatBCS.com review.
2. Grub Burger Bar
Stepping into Grub Burger Bar, the modern, high-end interior finishes evoke an urban feel making you think, for a second, you could be in a big city like New York or LA. However, when the folks at grub greet you at the counter with a sincere smile, and kindly explain the menu and make enthusiastic recommendations, you know you’re in Aggieland. Read complete EatBCS.com review.

5. Madden’s Casual Gourmet
While the menu is simple, the soups, salads, sandwiches and entrees all feel delightfully, creatively complex. I ordered the Grilled meat loaf served on a bed of sautéed cabbage with corn bread and hand made mashed potatoes on the side, topped with a flavorful but not overpowering tomato sauce. Read complete Madden’s review.
6. Fuego Tortilla Grill
Don’t let the crowd scare you off though, the folks at Fuego are very quick, both at the counter and the drive through. You will be tasting fresh cooked Mexican food within a few minutes no matter how busy they look. Continue reading Eat BCS review.

Simple, no-frills, traditional burgers that have been called the best in town and even ranked in the state by several media outlets. Fries are fresh cut. Atmosphere is hunting lodge chic. They made the EatBCS.com Best Burgers List.
13. The Tacobar
Tacos & tortas any way you want ’em. Everything fresh and flavorful. Great service behind the counter. That’s the simple formula The Tacobar is executing to earn rave reviews for their newly opened Taqueria, specializing in authentic, border-style Mex fare. Reviews like this one on their facebook page, are piling up for this delicious addition to the B/CS restaurant community: “The food is delicious, finally a place with authentic Mexican cuisine! The place and staff are very welcoming and friendly. I had chicharron en salsa roja and rajas con queso and they are both to die for!! Highly recommend it. Aggie owned and operated!”
14. Layne’s Chicken Fingers
When a place keeps the menu simple and names the joint after the main menu item (i.e. In-N-Out Hamburgers or Layne’s Chicken Fingers) you know it’s gonna be good.
15. Sweet Eugene’s
The Monterrey Turkey Panini with mesquite turkey, tomatoes, bacon, cheddar cheese and ranch dressing on spicy hawiian bread and chips served on the side makes a tasty light lunch.

Image by Greg Deeter
Head to Top Of The Hill in Benchley for one of the finest burgers probably in the history of Texas. They take about 10 minutes each to arrive yet they are made with love obviously and they are almost exactly like what my Mom makes.

25. RX Pizza 200 W. 26th St., Downtown Bryan • 979-721-9158
Recent EatBCS.com Review: “Tried a take out pie from Downtown Bryan’s RX Pizza today and it was great. The crust tasted as if the dough is made from scratch and it reminded me of the two wood fired pizza places in College Station, Napa Flats, West End and the two in Bryan – Amico Nave and Cafe Eccell. This should be a hit in Downtown Bryan which did in fact lack the combination of a well mixed adult beverage and and adult pizza. Easy parking and located in what used to be a drug store for decades. Great prescription for a successful eating & drinking establishment.”
26. Kamei Sushi and Grill 951 William D. Fitch, College Station, TX
Image by Greg “Taco Monster” Deeter.
Kamei Sushi and Grill at 951 William D. Fitch is most certainly one of my favorite restaurants in College Station. The music in here is great, unlike any other place in College Station and all of the food is top notch. Try the new garlic edamame side for sure.

Former Yell Leader Roy May and crew started Good Bull BBQ because they love barbecue and we want to change the world! Now you can too! They provide a meal for the less fortunate for every meal they sell. Feed yourself, feed the world, now that’s GOOD BULL!

39. Honolulu Poke House 1617 S. Texas Avenue, College Station, TX
Honolulu Poke House serves Traditional Hawaiian Poke Bowls! IT’s like sushi in a bowl without the seaweed wrapping sushi normally has.

The parent’s drunk friend would come over and roughhouse with poor Rocky (and we all know what that means!) and they never did anything to stop it! Despite it all, sweet, affectionate Rocky wanted only to please his family, and would do anything to get them to love him. He would happily greet, and jump up and kiss, new people and was playful and gentle with the kids. Now he sits alone, missing pizza night when he would playfully steal a slice off his dad’s plate, and he misses sleeping in his bed and cuddling. Scared and confused, his eyes are so full of sadness and grief that it brings us to tears. Look at him, just LOOK at him. Lying in his lonely kennel, huddled up, his small paws touching, looking out of the bars and hoping with all his gentle heart that his parent will return. Because despite being hit in the face, or tossed about by drunks, those moments pale when compared to the good times, the happy times, and the moments of grace with a parent who didn’t protect him, and has now abandoned him for the worst and lamest excuse of all – ALLERGIES. ☹ Please save this poor boy. Give him a better life. He needs an experienced foster or adopter in an adult only home (kids over age 13 ok). MESSAGE our page or email us at [email protected] if you can give Rocky the life he’s only dreamed of. ROCKY, ID# 63919, 4 Yrs.

Image by Greg Deeter
Head to Top Of The Hill in Benchley for one of the finest burgers probably in the history of Texas. They take about 10 minutes each to arrive yet they are made with love obviously and they are almost exactly like what my Mom makes. Fresh buns are toasted in butter, meat is flat grilled where the edges are carmelized, lettuce is fresh and shredded, cheese melted perfect (a Bobby Flay requirement), tomatoes are fresh vine ripened local grown and the jalapenos are in-house pickled.

Recent EatBCS.com Review: “Tried a take out pie from Downtown Bryan’s RX Pizza today and it was great. The crust tasted as if the dough is made from scratch and it reminded me of the two wood fired pizza places in College Station, Napa Flats, West End and the two in Bryan – Amico Nave and Cafe Eccell. This should be a hit in Downtown Bryan which did in fact lack the combination of a well mixed adult beverage and and adult pizza. Easy parking and located in what used to be a drug store for decades. Great prescription for a successful eating & drinking establishment.”
26. Kamei Sushi and Grill 951 William D. Fitch, College Station, TX
Image by Greg “Taco Monster” Deeter.
Kamei Sushi and Grill at 951 William D. Fitch is most certainly one of my favorite restaurants in College Station.

Blue Moon is a Texas Monthly Top 50 ‘cue joint worth the drive out to the middle of nowhere. The middle of nowhere is usually somewhere special when you’re in the beautiful Brazos Valley. Only thing that can make one feel more Texan than a drive down OSR on a crisp, sunny day is the smell of smoked meats wafting your way.

25. RX Pizza 200 W. 26th St., Downtown Bryan • 979-721-9158
Recent EatBCS.com Review: “Tried a take out pie from Downtown Bryan’s RX Pizza today and it was great. The crust tasted as if the dough is made from scratch and it reminded me of the two wood fired pizza places in College Station, Napa Flats, West End and the two in Bryan – Amico Nave and Cafe Eccell. This should be a hit in Downtown Bryan which did in fact lack the combination of a well mixed adult beverage and and adult pizza. Easy parking and located in what used to be a drug store for decades. Great prescription for a successful eating & drinking establishment.”
26. Kamei Sushi and Grill 951 William D. Fitch, College Station, TX

Read complete Madden’s review.

Head to Top Of The Hill in Benchley for one of the finest burgers probably in the history of Texas. They take about 10 minutes each to arrive yet they are made with love obviously and they are almost exactly like what my Mom makes.

25. RX Pizza 200 W. 26th St., Downtown Bryan • 979-721-9158
Recent EatBCS.com Review: “Tried a take out pie from Downtown Bryan’s RX Pizza today and it was great. The crust tasted as if the dough is made from scratch and it reminded me of the two wood fired pizza places in College Station, Napa Flats, West End and the two in Bryan – Amico Nave and Cafe Eccell. This should be a hit in Downtown Bryan which did in fact lack the combination of a well mixed adult beverage and and adult pizza. Easy parking and located in what used to be a drug store for decades. Great prescription for a successful eating & drinking establishment.”
