Heading to Evanston this weekend?

Ladies and gentlemen, if you are going to Evanston for the game this weekend, I cannot stress enough how awesome Mustard's Last Stand is.  Mustard's is located across the West parking lot from Ryan Field.  It is tiny, but you will see the yellow "Vienna Beef" sign sticking out on Central Street.  You can order Dogs and other quick items outside, inside it will be packed, however inside is an experience in itself.  If you are brave enough to head inside be advised that you order as far away from the door as is possible you may be standing by the door, but you'll have to wait 'til you get to the other end to order, then you will follow the counter back towards the door.  (Note: Full ordering instructions to follow in a later diary post.)

Star-divide

Buddy Light recommends: "Dog and Fry", "Double Cheese", "Beef (be sure to get giardinara on it)and Fry", "Maxwell Polish and Fry"

Buddy Light recommends avoiding: Any chicken sandwich (they're tasty, but you will not want to wait as long as it will take to make it), steak sandwich (see previous reasoning)

Warning: Mustard's is delicious, but very messy.

The gentleman interviewed in this YouTube video is Keith.  He is a good friend and my lifelong hot dog vendor of choice.  He loves Hawkeye fans, he welcomes Iowa gear, but be advised if you wish to donate shirts, he is at least a XXXL.

This is my first diary post, I posted this here because I love the Hawkeyes and Mustard's is about the only thing that I love as much.  I hope some of you take the time to enjoy one of my favorite establishments in the entire world, nothing beats Mustard's.

Oh yeah, and there is a piece of Hawkeye memorabilia on the wall inside Mustard's, see if you can find it.

Hope this and tasty food finds you all well.

 - Buddy Light

Can't go

I'm not allowed to go to Northwestern games anymore.  I was at the last two.  In both cases I was straddling the fine line between homicide and suicide.  Luckily I was drunk enough not to do anything stupid (how ironic is that)
Have fun!

Thank you

I'll be there, with a quintuple-XL t-shirt.

I'm already craving "beef and fry," even though I'm not entirely sure what it is...

Go Hawks.  Beat NU.
