EatStreet’s Top 10 Foodie Calls: #5

After six weeks of shameless storytelling from passionate EatStreeters, I think it’s safe to say there’s no accounting for taste. We currently have five foodie calls in the top ten and each one is truly unique.

Before I announce today’s $50 winner, I think it will be fun to do a quick recap of our previous winners. Their creativity in the face of desire is inspirational, to say the least:

#10 – Nate, Richmond, VA

Nate’s epic story should really be read in its entirety, but here’s his unforgettable conclusion:

…After an hour of this excessive mixture of pain and pure joy, I finally retreat to my bed. As I lay down, I look up at the ceiling and think to myself, “I’m really fat.”

#9 – Nicolai, Ann Arbor, MI

I stumble home from the bar with a girl around my arm. But I end up having a threesome with orange chicken and fried rice because my roommate ordered way too much food again while watching Adventure Time.

#8 – Jessica, Milwaukee, WI

My favorite type of Foodie Call is when it’s around 9 P.M. and I haven’t eaten dinner yet. I know deep down in my soul that I want a pineapple pizza, but I can’t bring myself to spend the money. I look around my apartment and try to convince myself that I can eat ramen for dinner… again. But the pizza wins. I go to EatStreet.com, use my the great pizza coupon (so I don’t have to spend tons of money!), and place my order. Within the hour, a delicious pineapple and pepperoni pizza with lots of garlic butter is mine – ALL MINE. Then I go to bed happy and dream of unicorns and chocolate.

#7 –  Alex, East Lansing, MI

A seductive juicy burger with steaming hot melted cheese and sautéed onions that make men kill for. Also, a side of hot crispy steak fries as big as your arm, dipped in creamy ranch. All this after a night of drinking and looking for a 3:30 am foodie call.

#6 – Will, Columbus, OH

The midnight pizza call in the Mechanical Engineering Lab. When the pizza gets there… for a moment… I am home. Then I finish eating and reality sets in – I am at the lab still -.-

We’ve seen our fair share of desperation, intoxication, fantasy, aggression, and stress relief. But foodie calls can be so much more than that. They can be supremely meaningful – just ask Dave from Raleigh:

A 3-4 a.m. foodie call is my typical love. I’m talkin’ about a desperate reach out for my favorite baked and/or fried foods. Gumby’s is my late-night salvation and EatStreet is my post-light savior. Deliver to me, O ye Pizza Gods.

pizza is god

There you go. If you find the right dish and really let yourself go, foodie calls can be a spiritual experience. Amen, Dave. We’re giving you $50 so you can continue to donate to those Pizza Gods on Sundays.
