The Foghorn staff loves to explore different cuisine options offered in the community at an affordable price. This Economic Crunch we sent out two staffers to check out the hole-in-a wall restaurant known as Z Counter. PHILLIP GONZALEZ Z Counter is a unique Asian street food-style restaurant in Corpus Christi. I recently went and ordered their Asian sandwich (Bahn Mi) and side of Macaroni (Dad’s Mac).

Finals are upon us and time is quite limited right now. The brain requires fuel so if you normally skip breakfast or resort to a light snack as you run out the door, do away with that on test day. Breakfast is incredibly important. The brain needs energy to work at optimal capacity. Protein-rich foods are good choices as they promote brain activity and alertness. Oh the incredible edible egg is a solid choice. One of eggs’ most impressive talents is their ability to embrace and hold various ingredients together in a frittata. Frittata is a very simple egg-based Italian…

After finals are over, students and staff will appreciate a good Happy Hour. Two Foghorn staffers took on the “difficult” task of finding two options for your next Happy Hour. Celebrate the end of finals and the beginning of summer! Sarah Fecht sfecht@foghornnews.com Needing to de-stress from approaching finals is a common feeling college students are experiencing right now. For those 21 and over, happy hours provide an oasis of distracted bliss. Discounted drinks and appetizers can be enjoyed with friends and help one to stall for a few more hours on that paper that’s due in the morning. I…
