Windows covered with tarps, both locations loomed with the reputations of their predecessors and the opportunity of their many potential replacements. Enter Nothin’ But Burgers and Nash & Smashed, two brand-new — yet somewhat ominous — additions to the University’s dining scene. Each establishment now competes for the attention of students looking for late-night bites, but are these “restaurants” to be trusted? Should we turn away from tradition to embrace novelty?
