IT'S A SATURDAY night, and you're trying to recover from a long, stressful week of taking tests and writing papers. What could be better than a visit to Fat Sandwich (502 E. John St., Champaign), where fine cuisine means anything from a bacon cheeseburger on glazed donut buns to a sandwich of chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, fries, ham, egg, mayo, and ketchup?
Or how about a Fat Mess? That would be mozzarella sticks, jalapeno poppers, fried mushroooms, mac 'n' cheese bites, pizza bites, fries, ranch, and BBQ on an eight-inch roll.

We were all very proud of Brooks for sampling the Donut Burger. We were even more impressed with Danny for polishing it off.
A big thank you
A big thank you to Amanda Hartman, who has graciously volunteered her time to help out the journalism students with their multimedia training. This video and last week's slideshow about Jake Hertzog would not have happened without her expert guidance.

That's a great video. Fat Sandwich is ridiculous with the names and the sandwiches themselves, so I definitely loved the topic! Amazing job, guys.
