Dugan's Deli and Boyd's Dairy. Places I miss the most.

Dugan's was so bohemian back in the day. We'd stop in for a Heinekin when they first came to Ames.

I feel like Fighting Burrito by CHC was good, then it moved to old Welch DQ, renamed as Flying Burrito, and wasn't good.

Yeah, those first couple years by CHC in like 2004-2005 it was great.

Downhill from there. Name changed in 09, not sure when they moved to welch.

I see what you did there. The 'ol bistro parlay.

George was sick and died 05. It hung on for awhile, but once his kids took over it went south quick. Nostalgia and characfer couldn't be beat at the old spot, but food/quality remained consistent in early part of the move. Should've sold to manager he trained.

Eventually Gyro cart/flying burrito guy bought from his family after a few years. Turned into Battle Cry? Maybe had once, but was a shell of its former self.

Matthew Goodman. We worked in the same graduate lab in BBMB. He was on the city council for quite some time.

I believed they moved when Welch did that whole remodel with adding the CVS. The only reason I liked fighting burrito was because they had wild rice for their burritos.

I thought they are still around.

Along the same lines of LJS but what about the KFC lunch buffet?!?! We used to absolutely WRECK that place.

I swear that place could cure a hangover.

Dugan's first Ames bar I ever drank in, I think I was 17. Always took my girlfriends there for a sandwich and a beer. Also went there after taking two doses of magic mushrooms because the first dose didn't do anything, LOL big mistake, I left early and hid in my dorm room closet.

Learned to play pool at Dugan's great place felt right at home there.

Dugan's was the true neighborhood bar.

Cys roost sign also used to say 'Don's deli' (maybe still does). Is/was this an actual deli during the day?

This guy likes diarrhea.

Mrs. Velo and I ate at King Buffet a couple of times way back when. They had little hand written labels for some of the food on the buffet. One of them said "Crad Rangoon". I told Mrs. Velo, "I don't know what 'crad' is but it sure as hell isn't crab."

There was food there for sure. I'd say early 2000s they got busted for selling under age and had to shut down Cys for a while.
They remodeled and I don't know what came after that.
Paddy's used to have food too and then they went to burgers only one night a week.

Been eons since I've been in either place.

Did they get busted for selling underage? I remember them getting busted for bootlegging out at the stadium. They were selling cups for the kegs they had which is a no-no. They had to close down for a month or so. At that time we tailgated right near them in the S lots SW of the stadium.

Maybe it was the stadium thing and they extended it to remodel. I feel like they closed for a while.
