The fast food chain has restaurants in 10 states spread across the Southeast and is re nowned for its more than 40 fla vors of hand-spun milkshakes and “outdoor-style” cooking. Customers can get backyard fa vorites such as chargrilled burg ers, hot dogs and fried chicken. Being open until 3 a.m. ev ery night is also an added bo nus. “Cookout is cheap quick and greasy,” said junior Jon Leach. “That’s why it’s the best option.” “Cook Out continual ly serves fresh food,” said the Burlington Cookouts manager, who did not release her name. “We constantly try to make the best food possible.” Second: Taco Bell Third: Waffle Hoi; Fourth: IHOP Fifth: Dominos m \ m \ LAIi NIGHT MliE burgers BBGl> Cuisine: Fast Foot Restaurant Location: 414 Hut Mill Road Hours: 10:30 am- a.m. everyday Cost: $5-$io OUVER FISCHER I STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Cook Out in Burlington offers more than 40 flavors of hand-spun milkshakes, in addition to comfort food such as fries, hot dogs and hamburgers. BEST BAR THE FAT FROGG BAR AND GRILL Jackie Pascale Executive Director) @jackie_pascale I^EING A RESTAURANT GUY, musician, a local guy and a professor at Elon, it doesn’t get ff/mxxdi more perfect than that.” Jason Thomas, adjunct instructor in wellness, is the newest owner of The Fat Frogg Bar and Grill. He took over the restaurant and bar in June 2017. Thomas used to own Burlington fran chise La Fiesta before coming to Froggs. He played music at the bar several times over the years, so the opportunity seemed perfect for him. Live music and trivia is a staple at The Fat Frogg. For senior Alex Lang, it’s a place where the Elon community comes together. “The trivia offers a fun activity for people to compete in while still so cializing,” said Lang. “It’s a cool place where people from all different or ganizations can get together. I love seeing all my friends in one place at once.” While Lang feels like everyone is her own age, Thomas says its not just stu dents at the bar. “That’s the balance here at the Frogg, the local versus the college crowd. Its like two tidal waves going back and forth a lot of the times.” Moving forward, Thomas actually wants people to think of The Fat Frogg as more of a restaurant than a bar. He says to lookoutforspecialmealsshowcasinglocal forms’ produce.
