ood food seems to disappear from
any college student’s life. With
busy schedules, limited funds
and even more limited mobility, many
Webfoots fi nd themselves eating frozen
this and a box of that while hankering for
tasty, local food. But leaving campus for
downtown can be a pain in the ass, and a
lot of close-to-campus cuisine is served
up by a cartoon character or eaten on
repeat. Worry not Ducklings, the corner
of 19th and Agate provides you with what
you’re craving, and more, all without the
unnerving glow of the golden arches.
First things fi rst: Rising for that early
morning class can be insurmountable
without a cup of Joe to get you through.
Eugene City Bakery, which expanded to
include the space next door, offers a coffee
and espresso menu, serving Café Mam
coffee as well as an assortment of pastries
baked fresh each day, plus a selection of
lunch items. No reason not to grab a cookie
or one of the many other mouthwatering
desserts for a little later in the day.
If you’ve learned the art of scheduling
no class before noon, you might spend a
little extra time enjoying breakfast at Studio
One. The menu has for years landed on our
number-one breakfast list, the crux of which
is Studio One’s selection of gourmet French
toast or variety of eggs Benedict. They
serve breakfast all day, as well as burgers
and sandwiches.
If it’s a break between classes you
need, Agate Alley Bistro can serve it up. Its
menu includes everything from the standard
(sandwiches, pizzas) to the downright
experimental (pumpkin enchiladas, pork
belly sliders), all of which are delectable. It
also keeps the primo grub rolling on into the
evening and provides a raucous list of weekly
events including Taco Tuesday, Drink Wheel
Thursday and House Party Saturday.
For a meandering evening, walk just two
doors over to fi nd McMenamins 19th Street.
Here you can combine standard pub fare and
microbrews with a game of pool or darts and
even stick around for televised Duck games.
When dinner includes that special someone
or the need to impress that special someone’s
parents when they visit, Beppe and Gianni’s
has you covered. Serving up some of the
best Italian food in town, including an ever-
changing daily ravioli selection, B&G’s will
fi ll you up with good food and good feelings,
just like Aunt Rose back home.
And last but certainly not least, don’t
forget to satisfy that sweet tooth. Prince
Pückler’s Gourmet Ice Cream scoops up
rich creamy ice cream and caters to that
limited funding we all face with deals such
as the Tuesday Hot Fudge Sunday special
for $2.95.

Always wanted to visit France, but
just don’t have the money? Let’s
face it: The real reason to go is
the food. And Marché offers a
monthly French regional dinner,
each focusing on a different food
and wine region, and presents
it with a prix-frixe tasting menu
paired with wine. Check out www.
marcherestaurant.com/events for
more information.
Guess what you’re missing out on
(if you don’t already have tickets)?
Boil ‘n’ Brew, Delacata and
Ninkasi Brewing’s crawfi sh boil, is
this Sunday, Oct. 9. Tickets are sold
out, but we hear it’s going to be
an annual event, so keep it on the
radar for next year.
A new handcrafted ice cream
business in town is Red Wagon
Creamery, with carts at the
Springfi eld and Eugene farmers
markets, Kesey Plaza and elsewhere
(plus we’ve gotten some at Party
Cart). Owners are chef Emily and
her husband Stuart Phillips. See
www.redwagoncreamery.com or call
337-0780.
