College students tend to think they're invincible. And when death seems like such a remote possibility, how on earth could there be any harm in a sandwich made of mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers and french fries smothered in marinara sauce? That's the existential question posed by the "Fat Darrell" sandwich invented by a Rutgers student at the R-U Grill. Certainly you could get fat ordering chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks and french fries separately at Applebee's or Chili's, but only here in New Brunswick can you get them all together on a sub, topped with a few paltry slivers of shredded lettuce and a wan slice of tomato. If the vegetables shudder in fear of their fried bun-mates below, just imagine the horror struck into the hearts (and arteries, and waistlines) of Atkins followers by such a sandwich. You can put pretty much anything on a "Fat" sandwich here, including pork roll. Try a Fat Cat: (two cheeseburgers, french fries, mayo, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, onions,) Fat Elvis (gyro meat, two mozzarella sticks, french fries, white sauce, hot sauce, lettuce, tomato, onions), or Fat Mom (cheesesteak, bacon, egg, french fries, mayo, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, onions). Of course Rutgers coeds stand by these gastrointestinal atrocities, because where else can you get a full week's caloric intake for about $5?
