Is this a serious question?
2. Super sub “Laz” owns several Culver’s restaurants.
I'm sure Ben's Pretzels won't be going away.
Notre Dame must have made that change somewhat recently. My kids high school used to do their fundraiser working concessions at ND Stadium. The quality of the product wasn't if much concern to them. Fail to say Go Irish to a customer when they paid, now there's something that they were really concerned with.
Never heard of Aver's Pizza. Is it any good?New Additions, Opportunities at Memorial Stadium This Fall Designed to Dramatically Enhance Fan Experience - Indiana University Athletics
Bloomington, Indiana – Hoosier football fans can expect a very different experience when they arrive at Memorial Stadium this fall.iuhoosiers.com
Need to bring back the IU Calliope of the 70’s, too. Anyone know if it’s still around and functioning? Last I heard years ago, it was stored up at IU in Indy. By time I was at IU in the 80’s, it wasn’t at games any more. Am I the only one who remembers it?
Looks like it was at an IU Day at IU Northwest half a decade ago. Not sure how often it gets around but I appreciate you enlightening a younger alumni on a Hoosier relic I was unaware of.
How about lee Corso's double decker bus. Is that still around?
It was when I was on campus but that has been a bit.
I used to date a Bloomington woman, a woman of good taste. We all know one, if not many. She claimed her favorite pie in town was Avers. I’ve always sworn by thin crust pepperoni, simple man not liking to cause trouble nowhere soon anytime. Curious creature suggested we get one so she ordered their “Cream and Crimson” pie. I must say, it was pretty damn good. It might have been the Alfredo sauce and to my surprise, the thinly sliced roasted red potatoes. I would have thought potatoes not working here but work they did, and tasted mighty fine with that red wine. Who knew?
Legit, I will be hearing about it our adjoining rooms at the nursing home in 50 years, replete with 40% F bombs, if Ben's is not available.
Yeah, that was one long line that we love to go through!
The Cream & Crimson pizza from Aver
the Cream & Crimson pizza from Aver’s is my family’s favorite. Anyone that has not had one you should try one out at the next game.
Anyone my age or older who hasn't spent much time back in Bloomington probably wouldn't know.
It closed and the building has been razed but the owner of The Tap (R. I. P. ) bought the name and menu and opened it at Scotty’s old location.
It’s always been my understanding Nick’s get their pizzas next door at Cafe Pizzeria. Is this a truism? Being more of a Gables guy, I think I’ve only been inside CP less than a handful of times since the Fall of ‘69. That seems odd to me, given my penchant for pizza crust. I recall it being a very quaint place with lots of red, much like Nicks.
Gotcha. I dunno when it opened, but it was there in 2000.
The last couple of pizzas I've had at Nick's have been awful. And I used to lvoe them. In fact, everything at Nick's has gone to shit except Sink the Biz fries.
Where is it located? I can't believe I've never heard of it.
I woke up to like this.
By the way, my friend's boy is a helicopter mech in the 82nd Airborne. He got back from Iraq last June.
Yeah, I used to play some golf with the owner of the old Yogi’s. He sold it in 2015 and the new owners soon closed it for reasons I should not mention. I had a bad experience at the new Yogi’s downtown but then I have had several bad experiences with the restaurants run by that group.
The one we went to was off of Kinser Pike and 46. It was tucked back in a small shopping complex where Marsh was the major tenant. (Looked it up and the Marsh is now a Kroger).
Would've been '92-'93ish. After B-dubs moved downtown, Yogi's took their spot.
