places to go, people to see

I have made a platial map of the places in the Champaign area I need to visit. This will evolve but in the meantime you can check it out here.  If you have an interest in visiting any of these places, let me know!

Congrats! When do you leave CU? Have you been to the Longbranch Steakhouse in Thomasboro? “Best steak in the area…butcher just down the block,” says the woman who cuts my hair.

Count me in for Weinerschnitzel and definitely the Bayern Stube.

Just not sure what some of those others are; but I might be up for them. And you already have a nefarious plan to get me into Kam’s.

I’ll always advocate that the Bayern Stube be combined with a trip to the Harvest Moon Drive-in (not on your map)! Next weekend - Sauerkraut on a Brat and Snakes on a Plane!!!!

if you go to Der Weinerschnitzel, get a chili cheese dog and regular fries — which are fried in something so very unhealthy that they crunch!

The Longbranch is actually in Gifford. Thomasboro has only one restaurant, the Old Bank Cafe. It’s awful, trust me. I grew up in T-Boro.

That said, do you want to go to Kam’s?

whoa you’re a total expert. KAMS!

i will keep you posted

Unhealthy or not, my Wienerschnitzel fries most definitely did NOT crunch! But it was great fun anyway. As I told Jenny, I’m going back and next time I’m taking the camera to document the crazy weirdness that is the 21st century Wienerschnitzel experience.

I mean what’s not to love about a chili cheese turkey dog with pastrami on a pretzel bun?
