FAU Spoon Staff Dishes on Their Favorite Meals of the Year

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at FAU chapter.

2014 was a big year for FAU Spoon.

We started our chapter and with your help, brought together a community of food lovers at a school where 85% of students live off-campus.

Now, as we bring in the new year, we’re reminiscing over our favorite eats of the year.

Here are the best things our staff ate:

1. Brown Sugar Spiced Bacon

“I fell in love with this place the first time I stepped foot in the door! And then when I tried their hoagies, I was in love! A hoagie filled with meatballs, red sauce and melted Mozzarella. Garnished with Italian Seasoning. Simple, yet decadent. You’ll want to come back for another.” – Samantha Peirce, Contributor
