Fat Sandwich

Recommended by Carey Jones and 11 other food critics.
"Go for the classic Fat Darrell; or branch out with the Fat Elvis, essentially a gyro with mozzarella sticks, fries, white sauce and hot sauce."

Recommendations

"It is everything on a sandwich: chicken fingers, mozz sticks, french fries, taylor ham, egg, cheesesteak, fries (my favorite). And so unbelievably amazing ... And possibly the most fun sandwich names ever! Who doesn't want to scream 'Please give me a fat drunk' and not actually offend anyone?"
"So how does it taste if you're not drunk or high as a kite? As someone who doesn't drink or smoke, I say it tastes damn good. That's what I expected from a sandwich that combines three of my favorite junk foods."
"Go for the classic Fat Darrell; or branch out with the Fat Elvis, essentially a gyro with mozzarella sticks, fries, white sauce and hot sauce."
"What to order: One of their fat sandwiches - the Fat Darrell, a sandwich filled with chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, marinara sauce, french fries; the Fat Beach (formally Fat Bitch), a sandwich stuffed with cheese steak, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, lettuce, ketchup and french fries. Hot damn."
"There’s a sandwich out there for every taste, and I highly recommend that everyone try these. Heaven after an evening imbibing adult beverages, these greasy sandwiches are stuffed with everything from mozzarella sticks to chicken tenders and almost anything you can imagine."
"They are basically subs with every nasty, greasy thing you can imagine on them: fries, chicken fingers, cheesesteak, mozzarella sticks, mayo. My top place to eat them is at RU Hungry? at Rutgers."
"The concept is pretty simple. Patrons walk into the restaurant spacious deli-style room, order a monstrous sandwich topped with freshly sliced Boar’s Head meats and cheeses, get a high-five for leaving a tip and within five minutes, they get a neatly wrapped, piping-hot sandwich absolutely bursting with heavenly goodness."
"I bit into it and it was incredible! Everybody with me wanted one, and the girl in line behind me wanted one. Then her boyfriend ordered it, and the next person… and the next. The namesake Fat Darrell® became an overnight success and remains a bestseller."
"Now here's a classic in grease lore. Journey to Rutgers University for a trip to “the original grease truck,” R.U. Hungry, which features a score of different sandwiches and fillings that range from the ordinary to the gut-busting. None is more famous that the Fat Darrell."
"As is common knowledge at Rutgers, New Brunswick has no shortage of places to eat around campus. But none of them are as iconic as the original grease truck, RU Hungry. Day 2’s pick was the Fat Darrell, which, according to the menu, is apparently #1 in the country. This one was my favorite."
