Eating on campus has always been an issue of money and quality since my first day four years ago. I had a presentation last week that I had been stressed about for weeks, so I was super relieved when it was over. My friend K met me on campus right after during my break to try the
Point Grill at Marine Drive. I had seen it on the list during Dine Out Vancouver and took note of it, having never actually noticed it just passing by (which probably has to do with the unlikelihood of finding myself near Marine Drive very often).
Call it a small celebration that I could relax just a little bit after the debate; we were between trying the Point Grill and Mahony and Son`s on campus, but decided on the former`s burger menu. We both ordered the
BBQ Burger, which is topped with "Grilled Free Range Chicken Breast, BBQ Sauce, Smoked Bacon, Farmstead Smoked Cheddar, Caramelized Onions and Pickle" (I opted out of the onions and pickles, obviously). They also claim that "All Beef Patties are House Made with Natural Angus Beef". It both sounded and tasted delicious *drools*.

The BBQ sauce was definitely eminent in
my burger and this burger definitely satisfied my appetite! I was so hungry that day haha. K and I hilariously debated which side dish (daily soup, salad or fries) would be the most "bang for your buck".. I think my fries win! They were not too salty, crispy on the outside and light and very 'potato-ey' or fluffy on the inside; fresh cut and just to my liking. Yum! We also enjoyed the decor, lots and lots of natural light. Thank you very much to my friend K for coming out to UBC just to have dinner with me :)
