#43 - Anatolia (Turkish)

August 2010

The second restaurant from my brief stop in Bloomington was Anatolia. There is the coolest street in downtown Bloomington, just up from IU. You can walk down the street and eat at any ethnic restaurant of your choice...Japanese, Thai, Moroccan, Turkish, Mexican, Chinese, and the street goes on! We decided on Turkish - I've never eaten Turkish before, so, of course, we had to enjoy it in original Turkish style - we sat on the floor with hot tea to boot. I ordered a Mixed Pide
Oval shaped, hand tossed crust, topped w/ Ground beef, soujouk and cheese and all other good stuff.   I hear there's a Turkish restaurant in Louisville...must find THAT one! Thanks, Yolanda, Jason, and Renae for a fun evening and delicious food!

#42 - Malibu Grill

August 2010

On my way driving back from Oshkosh, I stopped in Bloomington, IN to visit with some friends. I got to add two more new restaurants to the list. The first was lunch at Malibu Grill with Yolanda and her friend. They are known for their fish tacos...so fish tacos it was. Not bad...but fortunately, they're not Bazo's. I'm sort of glad about that...I can get Bazo's anytime I want here in Louisville! But, Malibu Grill was a neat restaurant on the square. It was great to catch up with Yolanda and hear all the exciting things going on in her life and to share all about the airshow.
