The Daily Meal Ranks Oxford Among Best College Towns for Dining

fod

The Daily Meal, a website on all things food and drink, ranked 20 best college towns for food. Oxford is, unsurprisingly, named in the national website’s list!

The website ranked Oxford No. 8, behind Boulder, Colorado and Burlington, Vermont that is ranked No. 1 on the list.

Nikkitha Bakshani, editor, wrote this of Oxford:

“In late October, before midterms and Thanksgiving vacations with the family, Oxford, Mississippi, hosts its annual BBQ Throwdown — just one of the many signs that Oxford has become a delicious college town. That Ole Miss throws one of the best tailgates in the country doesn’t hurt, either. Budget-friendly places like Bottle Tree Bakery (for sweet potato and andouille soup and gourmet pressed sandwiches) and Handy Andy (for pulled pork sandwiches and slices of apple pie) are student haunts. 208 is the perfect parents weekend dinner spot — their Martini Mondays are also well worth checking out.”
