Everything But Anchovies

> The drinking age went from 18 to 19 in late '82, then from 19 to 21 in late '85.

My fault.  I recalled that the drinking age always chased me (I remained legal, usually by a matter of months), but I thought it went through 20, not 19.

the person serving you (at Louie's) didn't care who you were or what was going on in your life

Well I guess some things have changed, because the current owner of Louie's is incredibly friendly, and is on a first name basis with many of his regular customers.  I guess Louie's is afforded a higher status by those who have lived on North, but I agree that it doesn't have the same campus-wide mystique as Hot Truck (even though it has been there much longer).

I am amazed - this is the most popular thread in the short history of the eLynah board so far without any sign of letting up.  (I don't remember too many at CHDF that ran this long either.)

I think you jinxed it.  Yours is the only post in the last 3 hours :-P

[ugarte]

That's OK. I couldn't keep up. I'm 30+ posts behind.

i think the length of this thread has a lot to do with the fact that it's the middle of the week (sorta), there's little to say about the past hockey week-end and everyone is fearful of saying too much too soon about the important upcoming week-end. thus we talk about food.

the week-end is big for a bunch of reasons: 1) the last two home games of the year 2) the sad point where we say good-bye to the seniors we've watched for years 3) we could/should be celebrating the first cornell RS title in years saturday night (here's to hoping!)

and heck, almost everyone loves to eat!!! out of curiosity, what is everone's fav place to eat when hitting the road games ( i know that it's not Pizza Hut in the north country!)?

last week-end Judy and I completed our quest of visiting each ECAC rink once (tho there are a few we've seen a few times) and thus far I'd have to say this cute little place along the river in Burlington called Water Works has the best food and atmosphere. And the best dessert, without a doubt, can be found in the North end of Boston at Mike's Pastries!

IF (and that's a really big if, and lots of hoping) Cornell can make it to the regionals and stays east, I will be sitting at that game on the 23rd eating a very yummy cake from Mike's celebrating my birthday and hopefully more. I want a strawberry mousse cake...

[judy]

hell, even without the team in worcester, I'll be eating that cake!

when many of us (ok, not Al and Jim) were at Cornell, Bob had been making sandwiches for a LOONNNG time, close to 40 years by the time he retired.

Well it's nice to be known for something, isn't it Al.

The guy at Louie's took my order on the phone the other day BEFORE THEY OPENED, and he'd said he'd get to it, and he called me when it was ready--again before they opened.  Now I don't think I'd expect him to do that every day, but the people at Louie's are great.

Don't feel slighted, Jim...  you're known for candy, too!  :-D

I'll have to agree, Louie's is great.  Don't get me wrong, Hot Truck is good, but if you want a sub that doesn't have tomato sauce on it, Louie's is definitely the place.  Plus, for the most part, it's cheaper.

As much as I would have liked to do it against Clarkson, I hope we'll be celebrating a regular season title Friday[\\I] night!  (I hope to hear chants of "Clea-ry Tro-phy" over the LynahCam.)

And then endowing the Cornell hockey program, right, Rich?  :-))

Favorite place to eat on a roadtrip, hands down:  Plum Blossom on route 7 just outside of Troy, on the RPI/Union trip.  Incredibly good Chinese food for comparatively so little money it makes me laugh out loud.  Ha ha!!

Usual place to eat on a home hockey weekend:  Chariot.  The baskets of corn nuggets are getting smaller, but hey, at least the price is increasing...
