The Bowdoin Orient

Before I even start talking about the different options, I think it should go without saying that this is 7-Eleven. It won't be fresh. It won't be good for you.

Shortly before most of us departed for break, yet another Asian restaurant opened for business on Maine Street.

Although Portland is the closest place to campus that can call itself a city, I've noticed that students rarely venture there for dinner.

I think it's time to say a word or two about the restaurant that seems to be the most popular among Bowdoin students.

So I guess it's time I wrote a positive thing or two about an eatery in the greater Brunswick area, and because I rarely even speak in positive terms, this might prove difficult.

Perhaps the most desired ethnic food amongst Bowdoin students is Mexican cuisine. Whether its Chipotle burritos or guacamole from El Camino, Mexican food is like the hot new Rihanna song.

There's really only one word for bagels in Brunswick, Maine: ignorant. Finding a good bagel in this area is just about as easy as finding the local synagogue.

It's the off-season place. It's where you go when you don't feel like caring and it's time to eat your feelings. When asked if it's good, you sheepishly respond, "It's not not good." It's an MSG-filled gluttonous adventure that will leave you passed out on your couch for days. Placed just a stone's throw from campus, Asian restaurant China Rose provides Brunswick's premier greasy Chinese buffet fix.
