Noooooo!

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.

I'm old. Chick's not.

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

[Marquette Fan]

Now I want some cheddar fries.

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.

Am I the only one who actually thinks this is a loss to MU? Dog Haus had solid dogs and great cheese curds

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

How come no one wants to bring back Ziggy’s?

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.
