ROFL!!!  Are you a physician or a stir fry? If not...you had no worries.

Sorry that you didn't win the powerball.  Someone in South Carolina won it. :(
Looks like I've come full circle.

Yeah, some of those physicians do need stir frying!  :biggrin:

Hmmm......

I read it that they were stirring things -- both "frys" (perhaps a misspelling of "fries") and "physicians."

Although why you would want to stir up a buncha physicians, I haven't the foggiest.
Ignorance and fanaticism are ravenous. They require constant feeding.

Or maybe they were telling you that you would need a physician after consuming their stir fry?  :spooked:

THAT'S the thought that first crossed my mind Palehorse!  I can't even imagine what message that is intended to convey.  It certainly isn't good advertising for their restaurant regardless of intent.

well it is a family restaurant,  maybe people in indiana like different kinds of food.


and physician could be one of those things that is just local fare.  maybe a physician taco.  or maybe it was Dr. Pepper, that could explain that whole thing there.

I can attest to the whole local taste thing in Indiana. Living most of my life in Chicago before moving here I had become accustomed to having a variety of different cuisines available for my dining pleasure any time of the day or night. I have a very strong affinity for Chinese, Italian, Polish/Bohemian, and German fare; and after moving here I went through withdrawl for probably the first 2 years. If it doesn't moo or oink and get served up in a chain Establishment, you cannot get it here!

I still (11-12 years later) bring home coolers of food with me when I return from Chicago. My kids send me care packages every now and then, and bring the food for me with them when they come for visits. You still can't get it here! Through the years I've learned to prepare some of my favorites at home, but even the ingredients available here are of disappointing quality. . .

From the look of it you must have went across Route 30 to Dyer, or been in or near Munster off of I 80. Those border town folk can get pretty out there. I mean, look at Gary!  :spooked:

In fact I'd bet on Munster. . . It's where Illinois folks go to get lottery tix and fireworks most times. . . I believe that establishment in the picture sits on Ridge Road if I remember correctly. At the corner of Calumet Ave.???? I think it is.

I was visiting my cousin in suburban Chicago the other day and his neighbor has a "man cave" in his garage.  :yes:  They were all in the "man cave" drinking beer and they invited my cousin and I to stop by.   They gave me a VERY delicious piece of Chicago style pizza.  It had all kinds of different stuff in it.  They affectionately dubbed it a "man pie."  :biggrin:

Bingo!  That picture was in Munster.  ;D
