I thought there was a place in Ames with real fish & chips? Chip Shop You Don't Stop or something like that?

That would be a way better name.
There was the Chip Shop in the old Char's, but it's been renovated and is now The Mucky Duck, a British pub. They still have fish and chips.
This is the first I have heard of this Mucky Duck. How is the beer selection? I will need to give it a holler next time I am in Ames.
I'm not a huge beer drinker, never acquired the taste, but I think their menu was pretty extensive. I mean, it's not a million like Old Chicago or anything, but it was a few pages, I think? I believe it was mostly British beer.
Nope, we fought a war so we didn't have to have bad teeth. Thank the splinters in George Washington's gums.

We always called the crumbs "fried nothings". I loved asking for extra fried nothings.
One of my most vivid memories from my long ago ISU days occurred at LJS.
This was in the days when there were a lot of Iranian students (pre Shah ouster).
We were eating at LJS and there were several Iranian students at an adjacent table. Two of the three of us in our group were facing them and the other was back to them. A female at their table finished pouring ketchup on her food - but prior to replacing the lid on the bottle gave the old rim a good tongue wiping. Evidently the expression on our faces gave it away because the other guy (not facing her) knew instantly something bad went down.

I gotta go all the way to the Mucky Duck now during lent.

Sad day...I worked there my first year in Ames in 96'. Was a cook. Man, I was so dirt poor I'd steal chicken planks by wrapping them in napkins to take home and eat. In fairness those planks were normally a few hours old and probably shouldn't have been served to customers. Anyhoo, sad day...had some good times there and always mentioned to the wife/kids when we drove by there that I used to be a cook there.
The one in front of the Wal-Mart? Yea.... but I don't live 500 feet from that one
