Important Question!

Re: Important Question!

Here's what you need...

-One big a$$ can of generic cheese sauce, I believe this one was purchased at Sam's Club (add a little beer to the cheese to get the flavor just right).

-Pizza dough. We used the bread machine to make the dough, I'm not sure what recipe he used.

-Deep fryer.

Roll the dough into snakes and cut into nugget sized bits, fry til golden brown. Dip in the beer cheese sauce and revel in the beer nuggety glory!

Can't wait to try them Saturday afternoon as I watch ASSU get upset.

Also, if you really want to recreate the Dick's atmosphere, let the sauce congeal a bit so there's a bit of a film on top.

And if you can locate someone who looks like that Humanities Prof Dice to stand around and hit on college chics then you've REALLY recreated the atmosphere!

Re: Important Question!

Ahhh yes, the Pizza House / Stein. That place was like a resort....fine food, drink and even beach volleyball in the back.

Flip Night circa late 90s was absolutely lawless. Got my fake ID taken by a cop and was in there with a new one the very next weekend.

I know the Lorenzen family ran the Pizza House for years....used to only put blonde people in their commercials - an Aryan Nation of actors. Used to hear rumors that every human fluid imaginable would go into the sauce.

Re: Important Question!

F.A.C. for some beer nuggets......yummy.

Losing Stebs then Poor Dicks both hit the hill really hard. They provided things that no other establishment did.

Yeah, the smoke of ginger cigarettes and greasy-haired chicks with hairy armpits.

John Crews used to work the door at The Stein, in between his services of being mayor.

Re: Important Question!

Best bars.
1. 4th and Main-19801 version. Not even on the Hill shows how good is was.
2. Tony's-1983. Nice to take a girl and not fight crowd, noise, etc.
3. Steb's-1979. Before the hype of being an alternative bar.
4. Pour Richards-1984. Neat change from The Paw
5. The Paw-1979. Drink to get drunk and for cheap. Anybody remember fivers at noon, fourvers at 1, threefers at 2, twofers forever.
6. Bo's-1981. The lines, the chicks, the fights, just your regular college bar.
7. The Apartment Lounge(College Square Mall)-1982. Owner was hot.
8. OP-1980. Nice drunk after work. Could play qtrs forever.

Showing my age, but, everybody has their right to own opinion.

Indeed, and a great list
Mine:
1. OP 1976-present. First, always and forever.
2. The Stein. Simply remarkable.
3. 4th and Main was outstanding.
4. The Paw. I broke my arm at the PEC on a Friday. That night the Paw provided 2-fers as therapy. The pain! The pain!
5. Pour Richards-Great cheeseburgers, too.
6. There was a pool hall/bar on University near where Beck's is now. Can't remember the name. There's a reason why.
7. Stebs. Was there once. Dodged a glass pitcher thrown during an altercation(not mine) and ran out, never to return.
8. Tony's for pizza only. Never treated it as a bar.

Re: Important Question!

A. I LOVE the original Stein pizza...even sober my wife and I would get it on an Sunday evening as just a bit of nostalgia. But, I really did like the pizza FWIW.
B. The new MoJo's pizza tasted nothing like the Stein pizza from circa 1990 when the wife and I got it about two months ago. In fact, we both said we didn't need to worry about continuing that little tradition. No nostalgia left with the MoJo's pizza.
C. No mention yet of Suds as a great bar / hang out??!! I loved that place, especially on a Sunday night when you could just hang. Drink a couple tall boys, play some pinball, listen to some Zeppelin...that was livin'. And how about the end of a good night of boozin' when they came around with the Circle Pizza? I remember having to decide if my last two bucks were going to go for another tallboy or a slice. The dilemma was a killer almost weekly.

Re: Important Question!

anyone who does not include wednesday summer nights at shags for dime draws loses all credibility in my book.

as easy as it was to pick up chicks while waiting for pizza, shags was just a whole nother level of pimping at its finest. fish in a barrel, my friends. fish wearing minimal clothing with even less morals.

Re: Important Question!

Sure they can. I just think it is. At least it's better in the regard that there aren't more cultures being kept in that kitchen than a biology lab now.

That I completely agree with!

Best Bars at the turning of the millenium

1. Tony's 2002- 2 words, DRUNKEN MONKEY

Allow me 1 caviat. I would not change or give up my life today or my wonderful wife for anything...but the drunken monkey days at Tony's might've been the most fun I've ever had. I haven't done the DJ thing in some time, but it's the memories of playing that nuthouse three nights a week that makes me occasionally miss it. There is not now and was not before anything quite like Drunken Monkey-era Tony's.

I did laugh pretty hard at the people who never figured out the scam, however.

Now I'm curious about this "drunken monkey".
But you probably had to be there to understand it.

Re: Important Question!

Cap'n Cat was a DJ and a bouncer there for two or three years back in His day.

Enjoyed staring down little coeds who were coming up to the DJ booth to ***** about me playing the Ramones instead of Night Ranger.

Cap'n, you share a former job with John Crews, who was Mayor of Cedar Falls for years (is he still?). He went from Stein bouncer to Mayor within a few years, so anything is possible. The people I loved were the ex-cons they employed on the pizza side. I was told that Dave got some kind of tax or payroll incentive to hire guys recently released from the 'pen. Nothing wrong with a fresh start after paying your debt to society, I just found it amusing.
