The Broiler was a great high-end date restaurant. Ames still doesn't have a replacement for it.
A little off topic but OG Le's Vietnamese was great. Less great (IMO) since the Le family sold it...

Has shogun been mentioned? Was in west ames by the hy vee. They had some great lunch bento boxes. Their sweet potato sushi rolls were delicious as well.
Speaking of that area west cyde wings was over there.
Also not a restaurant/bar but hair mechanics was over there too. Could have a beer while getting your haircut.
pretty sure the Japanese steakhouse that was in that area, next to the shogun, closed its doors too, but I never had eaten there

That, and location.
It was great for people who lived in west Ames and knew about it, but it was never very busy on the many occasions I was there.
I remember my group of friends happened to find out about this right at the beginning of them offering this deal and took full advantage. Was a great way to kick off FAC before heading to Welch. Once it got to be more known about, naturally had to split that keg with many more people and was less fun.
I never understood the love for Pokey Sticks other than they were like $5 for a box. Weren't they just plain breadsticks?
No, they had cheese (some version of cheese, that is) on them, and came with dipping sauce, marinara/ranch/etc. They also had a BOGO night, and you could get their largest size super cheap.
No they were cheesy breadsticks and wonderful. You did Gumbys wrong then.
Ok, I must be misremembering. They were definitely a popular option on our dorm floor.
No, they were extra super-greasy breadsticks. But you answered your own question: $5.
Don't have time to read through all today's posts, so apologies if this has already been addressed.
After Pazzesco's , Chris Patterson opened Oddfellows in the northern lights center. Really eclectic decor and menu. Eventually that closed, too. He's still around, plays in Great Caeser's Goat band (used to play in Leaving Texas.) https://www.facebook.com/gcgband/
GCG was on the Ames public TV channel the other night -- I really like their music.
