Eat at Triple XXX

One of my favorite memories as a little girl was going to Purdue football games with my dad.  My dad graduated from Purdue in 1990 with a degree in electrical engineering.  My dad took so much pride in showing me, my brother, and my sister around campus and telling us stories about his four years at Purdue.  I remember one of the first games I went to with my dad he told me that we were going to a restaurant that had been featured on TV.  I continue to go to Triple XXX frequently now that I am a student at Purdue University.  The food at Triple XXX is affordable but also very good, which you don’t find very often especially as a college student. 

Triple XXX was featured on the Food Network’s show Diners, Drive- Ins, and Dives in February of 2008.  The show’s host, Guy Fieri, learned first- hand how to make a double cheeseburger and how things are done at Triple XXX.  The episode premiered on the Food Network on April 23, 2008.  The traditional diner style restaurant has been attraction Purdue University students and other West Lafayette residents since 1929 when it was opened by Bert Wright. 

Their menu includes several flavors of milk shakes, super shakes, malts, frosts and floats.  Their signature burgers are made with 100% sirloin.  Their variety of burgers include the Boilermakers Pete, a triple decker burger; the Duane Purvis All- American, a ¼ pound burger with creamy peanut butter served on a toasted sesame seed bun; and several other types of burgers.  Breakfast is also served all day!
