My mind is blown to learn that Chili used to be two doors down from the 'Lanche. I can't even fathom.
But now I need to know more about his Chinese restaurant in between the two. Like was it a bad chinese spot like we had in the '90s (Super China) where only MU kids went or was this a destination and regular ppl were splitting the middle between the 'Lanche and Real Chili?
This pic is incredible. We became the 2nd best basketball program in the country with this as our recruiting tool. It's unbelievable.
That picture pre-dates my time, but..."that famous Green Bay kind"???
Also, did the location that RC occupied there become barber shop, or was that further up the street to the west?

1) Chili John's in Green Bay was the inspiration for Real Chili
2) Sweet pull on the Little Aggie's reference. I can't remeber if she was east or west of the Lanche. Wales on Wells, later Louie D's was definitely west.

Closed for good during Covid.
Photo is deepfake AI
And that location near the 'Lanche is actually the 2nd location for Real Chili.
The original location was right on Wisconsin Avenue.
