June 1, 20187 yr before wendy's it was called the garden grill. then they outsourced food services to sodexho, closed down the tavern, sold off pieces to people like wendy's. there used to be a big party at the beginning of every fall semeseter in the union. i cant remember what it was called. it was wall to wall party in the union. about 20 bands would play, and i bet 100 kegs were consumed. it was crazy.

We used to go to that. Good way to meet and pick up on freshman chicks. One year I hooked up with a grad student I met at that party. Turned out she was a TA in one of my classes. Yes. I boned one of my TA's before I (or she) knew she was my TA.
June 1, 20187 yr I'm always happy to see chains go, but this one bums me out a bit. I can't remember how many times I was hungover, forgot I needed a blue book for a test on a Friday. So I'd run into the co-op to buy one, then grab something greasy from Wendy's for $3 and head to six-pack. End of an era.
June 1, 20187 yr I didn't even know Junior died. They should have shut it down immediately after that.
June 1, 20187 yr Back in my day we didn't have Wendy's in the Union. Or any other chain restaurant. We had nothing but generic food offerings like "Mexican" and "Deli". That's the way it was and we liked it!!! #surlyolds

Yeah, there probably wasn't a deli. I'm just too old to remember what all they had so I was making shit up. But you're right, the burgers were very good. I also remember the burritos being pretty good from whatever the Mexican place was called.
June 1, 20187 yr I didn't even know Junior died. They should have shut it down immediately after that. Same. He was a legend.
June 1, 20187 yr He was actually murdered. Hit over the head at a bus stop by a homeless dude. Really sad story. How did you guys miss this on the shag?

We'd have pitchers of Shiner Bock for lunch instead of your faggot hamburgers!

June 2, 20187 yr End of an era. I consumed more than my share of 5-piece nuggets and junior cheeseburgers there in my day. My man Junior was a machine - RIP.

Not only could you buy a pitcher of beer on campus, in the student union, at 10:30 in the morning, but lots of people did. It was three deep at the bar during happy hour sometimes, at fucking 3 in the afternoon.
June 2, 20187 yr Just checked the website Taco Bell is gone and in its place is a Taco Cabana. Nice upgrade. https://universityunions.utexas.edu/food-fun

June 2, 20187 yr Does anyone recall the specific year that this Wendy's opened? I think it was sometime during my haunting of the forty acres, so sometime between '89 - '93. As I recall there was some controversy over having a corporate fast food chain come into the Union.

I was there 90-94 and seemed to remember opening toward my junior or senior year. Maybe an unpopular opinion but I like Wendy’s bean soup (they call it “chili”).

June 8, 20187 yr Used to meet my wife almost daily for lunch at Wendy's (93-99... don't you judge me). Proposed to her on The Union steps, and ate Wendy's afterwards.Sadly, this closing won't get me laid. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
