A little mention of Rutgers

and it's about fat sandwiches!! Well, Fat Darrel, mostly. LOL Didn't know that the Grease Trucks are actually famous in a way. I know it's kinda a big deal here at Rutgers (since they were talking about it during orientation in one of the speeches) but I didn't know it was special.

The title of the list is 10 Great American Food, Humble Beginnings. Apparently Fat Darrel is pretty famous...

The Fat Darrell
You may not know what the Fat Darrell is, but when you hear what it contains, you’ll understand why it’s truly a work of inspired genius. Since 1979, Rutgers University has played host to a collection of mobile food vans collectively known as the “Grease Trucks.” Originally, they served a sandwich called the Fat Cat, which contained two cheeseburger patties, French fries, lettuce, tomato, and onions. Then one night in 1997, a hungry (and broke) student named Darrell W. Butler convinced one of the vendors to put chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, French fries, and marinara sauce on a sandwich. Strangely, the concoction sounded so appetizing that the next 10 people in line ordered it, and the Fat Darrell became a mainstay at the Grease Trucks. Hey, not any old sandwich gets to be named Maxim magazine’s top “Meat Hog” sandwich.

Heard that if you want to name a fat sandwich you have to create one that's different than the ones that are already there, and you have to eat a certain amount of that thing (heard it was 10).

You can see the complete list here.

Grease Trucks actually has its own Wikipedia page!!
