Finals week is coming to East Lansing, which means you’ll probably be spending most of your time studying. Luckily for you, MSU Spoon is hosting a gift card giveaway to help alleviate some of your finals week stress the best way we know how – with food.
We’ll be giving away 5 $10 gift cards to Jersey Mike’s, Conrad’s, Potbelly, Noodles and Company, and No Thai! We’ll also tell you our favorite menu items as well as the staff’s favorites, in case you need help deciding what to get.
1. Jersey Mike’s

Our picks: I’m from right outside Philly, and I tried the Philly Cheesesteak at Jersey Mike’s (pictured, $7.45) and gave it an 8/10. It’s the best one I’ve had in East Lansing, so I definitely recommend checking it out.
Staff picks: If you’re looking for a cold sandwich, Jersey Mike’s staff suggests the #9 Club Supreme ($8.25). If you wanted to do a hot sandwich, Jersey Mike’s staff also agrees that the Jersey Mike’s #17 Famous Philly (pictured) is the way to go.
2. Conrad’s
