We’ve all been there, some of us more often than others, but we’ve all been hungover at least once or twice. You wake up parched, crying out for ice water and Advil, not sure what time it is or if your roommate even made it home. You chug your water and sit up, ready for the next step in your anti-hangover agenda: food. Hangovers may be the ugly underbelly of your Saturday night partying, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend all Sunday laying in bed dying. You can have a productive day and food is the key to your success. I’ve compiled a list of the top ten best foods to cure a hangover, and yes, I have personally tested them all.
(It doesnt have to be like this…)
- JB – Franz’s Food The JB from Franz’s is my go-to-cures-every hangover miracle. It’s two eggs, hash browns, bacon, cheese and ketchup, all wrapped up in a delicious grilled tortilla. It’s a big breakfast for sure, but you need all those yummy carbs and calories to get rid of those early morning shakes.
- Quarter Pounder – McDonald’s Now I know fast food isn’t the best choice for a health conscious collegiette, but I promise that it’ll lead to one of the most productive Sundays you’ll ever have. The Quarter Pounder with cheese is greasy and delicious, with a generous helping of piping hot fries to help wash down the memory of what you did last night.
- Egg White Omelette – HoCo Dining Hall This option is for the budget, and calorie, conscious. You can find an omelette station at any of the three dining halls on campus, but HoCo is my personal favorite. Just swing through the line and chose from a plethora of veggies and cheese and wait as your omelette is made fresh before your eyes. I would advise pairing your one of a kind creation with a whole wheat English muffin and a sprinkle of Frank’s Red Hot sauce.
- Egg and Cheese Sandwich – The Bagelry An egg and cheese sandwich from the Bagelry is an excellent way to start the morning. The Bagelry usually has around a dozen bagel options to choose from, so there’s always a bagel to please every palate. My favorite is the Oatmeal or Salt bagel and I usually get my sandwich with American cheese, but if you prefer a more exotic cheese, feel free to get a little darling. There’s usually a pretty long line at The Bagelry, so I would advise calling in your order from the comfort of your bed and picking it up when it’s ready.
- Chicken Finger Dinner – Wildcat Pizza I am well aware that this is not a normal breakfast food, but sometimes you just can’t stomach an egg. This is for one of those times. The chicken finger dinner comes complete with a small side salad, a solid portion of fried chicken and some of the most delicious fries known to man; I always get mine made extra crispy.
(Well HELLO gorgeous!)
