Fat Willy’s Rib Shack

As you can guess, there’s no shortage of intestinal challenges in the city of Chicago, and if you share the same zest for gluttony and greasy gastronomy that I do, than you relish any visit to the city of corpulence. Sunday before the flight home was our chance to indulge.

After a quick inquiry to my resident townie friend and aspiring mustachio Bill, he laid out a handful of enticing options to challenge the heftiest of appetites. Unfortunately, two of those delightful temptations were closed on Sunday.Were I still living in Utah, I might expect these kind of primitive hours but in Chicago this goes over about as well as a Bears passing game.

The two closed options were:

Mr. Beef: Which requires little explanation other than the fact that it’s called Mr. Beef, and they specialize in Italian beef sandwiches.I salute their no nonsense approach.

Hot Dougs:Which had me at “Encased Meat Emporium”.Suffice to say, Hot Doug’s specializes in serving various types of hot dogs, sausage, and brats.They also give these treats some rather entertaining names, and can even be served up with a special side of “Duck Fat Fries” (French fries deep fried in duck fat).It may be worthy of a return visit for those fries alone.

I think my personal favorite from the menu was the:

The Frankie “Five Angels” Pentangeli

(formerly The Virgil “the Turk” Sollozzo and the Luca Brasi)

Italian Sausage: Keep your friends close, your sausage closer.

Be sure to listen to the Hot Doug’s rock song as well, and consider adding it to your workout shuffle.

Ultimately, we settled on a third and equally tempting option, Fat Willy’s Rib Shack.And while I had some initial reservations about getting BBQ outside of Texas, my anxiety was soon relieved when I noticed a rather hefty woodpile stacked up out front.

On Bill’s recommendation, all three of us promptly ordered up the pulled pork sandwich, and I snickered amusingly after the waiter asked me if I wanted the full or half sandwich.The brawny sandwiches arrived a few minutes later much to the delight of our awaiting appetites.In addition to being a moist pulled pork sandwich, it was topped with a unique vinegar garlic coleslaw, while the huge pile of meat invited a sampling of Fat Willy’s homemade sauces.

The sandwich was so good, in fact, that I nary had a chance to take a picture of it before I had nearly torn through the entire thing.What you see are the sad remnants of soon to be finished Fat Willy’s pulled pork sandwich of satisfaction.

Air Force vs Notre Dame

I made the quick 8 hour jaunt from Salt Lake to Colorado Springs, passing through some of the most ruggedly beautiful terrain the Rockies have to offer to watch the Irish visit the Air Force Academy. Passing through a few security checkpoints, we toasted a robust tailgating atmosphere with a few of Colorado’s finest microbrews from Breckenridge Brewery. We then filed into Falcon Stadium where on a sunny, yet windy high plains afternoon, the Irish promptly grounded the cadets 39-17.

Fiesta Bowl: Notre Dame vs Ohio State

After a successful 2005 campaign, the Irish took the field in Sun Devil Stadium against the Ohio State Buckeyes in a compelling Fiesta Bowl matchup. The outcome on the field, however, proved to be a disappointing way to end the season and would ultimately expose the defensive shortcomings of Charlie Weis. Despite the lackluster performance, there are far worse places to spend New Years than under the bright sunshine of Tempe, Arizona, and it was certainly a welcome respite from the long winter of the Midwest.


Final Score: Notre Dame 20 Ohio State 34

Notre Dame vs Purdue: Boiler Beatdown

This was yet another big roadtrip to watch the Irish in 2005. Unfortunately, my photo documentation of this one is a bit sparse. Rest assured, however, I was there surrounded by thousands of surly Purdue fans watching the shellacking unfold on the field before them.


Final Score: Notre Dame 49 Purdue 28
