Eating Out is Favorite Pastime

by Kelly Foster

Most students agree they like to eat out. But due to rising costs, eating out does not always mean restaurant favorites.

100 students interviewed chose Doc Alexander’s as the number one restaurant in Texarkana while the Hushpuppy and Oliver Twist followed closely behind. Students like Doc’s because it provides a different atmosphere and serves such delicacies as fried cheese that can’t be bought anywhere else in town. Fish eaters prefer the Hushpuppy while steak lovers travel down Arkansas Boulevard toward Oliver Twist.

The five restaurants may be favorites, but because of prices, TCC students choose more often to indulge in lower priced foods.

Ronald McDonald should be happy to know McDonald’s is visited most by TCC students, while Burger King is in second and Luby’s third.
