Mug N Bun and Bub's - Oh My!
Saturday is the day that everyone looks forward to. There are songs and movies about it and now I know why. Because that's when people come to play - myself included.
It started off when Indianapolis resident and comedian Courtney Kay Meyers offered to take me to the Mug N Bun (on the recommendation of Crackers MC John Pittman.)
I was super excited as soon as I saw their sweet-old sign! But, before we were able to pull up one of their charming picnic tables and get to the business at hand...
first Courtney had to dismantle part of her car in an effort to keep it from dying as we ate.
Being a comedian for the better part of 7 years, this was in no way surprising nor is it anything that I expect you to understand if you don't do this for a living.
And, after perusing their charming if antiquated menue board
we decided it was time to press our luck!
Granted the button Courtney's touching is the way to let the waitress know that you're ready to order, but we hit it enough to seriously press our luck with the lady that was nice enough to take our order.
We each got the Single with Cheese, some fries and their famous home made Rootbeer...
none of which disappointed!
If comedy has taught me anything, it's that you can never have enough bookings! So, it was time for Courtney to shuttle us over to my next lunch appointment - thats right I said next lunch - which her car was nice enough to do after a little tender encouragement.
On Thursday, I had also made plans to eat with another of Indianapolis' Funniest (and old radio employer) Eddie James The other thing that I've learned doing comedy is that you always honor all of your bookings!
Before Eddie got there, we had time to walk around Carmel, Indiana and check out some of their peculiar sculpture choices
and my favorite, this cop with his arms out, hands spread wide open
I honestly don't know what else this town could have even possibly imagined when it installed this statue. I know that the 3 other women who also struck the same pose in the time I waited for my table probably wondered the same thing.
Anyway, Courtney had to leave for a show before Eddie joined me, and frankly, I don't think that he took it very well.
Fortunately, Eddie's suggestion to eat at Bub's Burger and Ice Cream in the Arts & Design District was a really good one.
Granted, he struggled a little with the menu
trying to decided if he felt like talking the Big Ugly - which is one pound of beef AFTER cooking that will get your picture on the wall if you can get through it! I think the Man Vs Food guy was able to do it, but I couldn't even fathom that as my encore!
I went with the The “Settle for Less Ugly” which was a quarter pound of beef and other things that are in truth a blur at this point.
granted, it was a tasty blur and I highly recommend it, but it was a blur none-the-less!
Both places were great and it really was the kind of strong finish that this town is known for (since they snuck out of Baltimore and drafted someone who's ability to win seems to come from his passion for hawking about a half a dozen different products.)
