I worked at Wales on Wells during my time at MU and did some catering work over the summer for the owner of the place.  Wow that was awhile ago :)

The Waleses lived across the street from us ~10 years ago.  I think they moved to Texas or around there.

Now you got me Jonesing for a Chili Cheeseburger and an oreo shake.

Have some patience, FFS.

Wales on Wells did a good burger. Not great but good.

In the context of Combat Zone Wells Street it was a welcome oasis in a world limited to Real Chili, Wales, Sy's (lunch only), Cousin's, and Angelos. Pretty pathetic, actually.

I'd forgotten about Angelo's - I think that's where we'd go sometimes after drinking and I'd buy raw cookie dough :)

Ziggy's went into the old Wales on Wells location for awhile I believe - no idea how long they stayed in business.

Ziggy's moved to 16th and Wisconsin, next to Walgreens, at least by the mid 90s.

Louie D's was in the old Wales location, I think.

I still miss Angelo's pizza and motz sticks.

Real Chili used to be next door to the Lanche which was the perfect location. A man could spend hours filling his belly with $0.20 Red White and Blues then slither next door for a couple bowls of gut cleansing goodness.

A guy named Gene had Real Chili evicted and opened Chili Gene's in it's place. He even kept the Real Chili decor. The Marquette faithful avoided that place like the plague. I think Chili Gene's lasted a semester before fading to black.

Dennis had a bunch of t shirts made up that read, "I survived the Chili War." I had one that I foolishly used for running and doing PT. Hindsight being 20/20 I should have preserved it as a combat memento.

I'm absolutely old enough to remember Chili on 15th. I have very vague recollection of Chili on WI Ave. My dad would take me for lunch before MU games probably as early as about 1968 or 69.

On a less nostalgic bend, Sobelman's owns the Angelo pizza name and receipe. They should seriously consider the Dawg House location for a grand reopening. No chains please. The old mom and pops were the best. They all knew which way to point us home.

I love Dogg Haus. Not a bad way to end the night.

Did the Dog Haus grow into a pretty popular spot? It opened while I was at MU, but Marquette Gyros was still around so there really wasn't a role for the Dog Haus. I think I went there maybe once or twice. I guess I wouldn't be surprised if it became more popular after Gyros closed.

I was 09-14 and dog haus was arguably just as popular as MU gyros. Also I still haven't gotten over losing MU gyros. Those fried pickles were a notch above any other

I can second this, DH was a ghost town the first couple of years it was there, I thought there was no way it would survive.

For those of us who don't have a JS account is there a photo?

When I was there from 07-11 my recollection was the Dogg Haus was more popular than Gyros. I was a Gyros man myself but often ended up at the Haus because that's where the group wanted to end the night

Outstanding find, Dr.

I didn't realize they expanded to so many sites, including one in Madison. I pray to God they had the Marquette Special on the menu there.

Personally, I never once had the noodles. That makes no sense to me.

I was also curious what was the link between Green Bay and Chili. Must be the noodles because I wouldn't equate Green Bay with SW cuisine.
