How bad (or good) is it inside Cafe Risque? An SportsJournalists.com review would be invaluable.

Bunch of 6s.

The billboards say "Good Food," so it must be true.

Yeah, somehow I don't see that happening. Unlike the "waitresses" at Cafe Risque, I prefer to maintain an air of mystery.

Burrito Bros.

End. Of. Thread.

And yes, the Purple Porpoise is across the street -- stumbling distance -- from campus on University. As is The Swamp (restaurant/bar). I, too, vouch for Leonardo's.

Burrito Brothers is one of the most overrated restaurants in the country. There is nothing special about that place. It's just bad mexican food. I know some swear by it, but I've never understood why.

Napolitano's is good. Spurrier's favorite restaurant in town. Amelia's is good. Salty Dog is a pretty cool bar across the street from campus.

Northwest Grille and Ballyhoo are both outstanding.

Ballyhoo is awesome. It's not near campus, but it's a really cool place to go. Great seafood.

I had totally forgotten about the Salty Dog. Then again, the massive amount of alcohol I took in whilst in said establishment might have something to do with it ...

Trying to remember the raw bar I would go to ... Calico somethingorother ...

Anybody who goes to Cafe Risque hoping to see a 6, should keep heading south to Mons Venus.

DAMN. I went through literally thousands of oysters there (and hundreds of longnecks ...) back in the day.
