00:00You know who recommended this?
00:19Bielema.
00:20Really?
00:21Yeah.
00:22He's a good dude.
00:23He sent a text, he said go check it out.
00:24Awesome.
00:25Alright, so here we go.
00:26This is an unusual, maybe I, should I try to end this with a strike?
00:33I don't even know if the alleys are on.
00:35Old Orchard, Lanes and Lynx, famous thin crust pizza, Savoy, Illinois, right outside Champaign.
00:41This t-shirt.
00:42Now before I get into this, I just told him, Brett Bielema, the Illinois football coach,
00:48he's like, you gotta check this place out.
00:49I looked, I go, it's a bowling alley.
00:51He goes, yeah I know it's a bowling alley.
00:52It's one of the best pizza places we've got.
00:54So, excited to try it.
00:5660 years they're celebrating, so we always like the old stories of businesses.
01:01Now here's a fact, they didn't even know this at the bowling alley.
01:05What year was it?
01:062022.
01:072022, I was the bowling alley man of the year.
01:11I'd just like to thank the International Bowling Expo 2022, the bowling committee who voted me the most influential man in the bowling industry.
01:19And all the attention and bowling alleys that we saved during COVID.
01:22It's a huge honor.
01:23This is just sitting in my office.
01:25Nobody told me I won the award.
01:26But regardless, this will go on the mantle.
01:29And thank you and everyone who voted for me.
01:31Let's just keep bowling.
01:34I'm not making it up.
01:35Because during COVID, we saved about, I want to say six to eight bowling alleys.
01:40Because bowling alleys were obviously hit hard.
01:42You couldn't have people in there.
01:43So, I didn't even know they had this award.
01:45But it's this association that's been around for 90 years.
01:48They sent me this huge banner.
01:49Dave Portnall, you're the bowling alley man of the year.
01:51So I'm in my element here.
01:53Now, we do do candle pins in Massachusetts.
01:55Oh, this is straight tavern style.
01:57Okay.
01:58This is a straight, skinny, well-looking, tavern style pizza.
02:02Very good undercarriage.
02:04All right.
02:05Let's see what we got.
02:10Yeah.
02:14This is the best I've had in town.
02:15So, Bill and I was right.
02:17Now, I like tavern style.
02:20I don't love it.
02:21People know that's my style.
02:23But this is very good.
02:24If this is, again, in downtown Chicago, this would be on the higher upper echelon of tavern style pizza.
02:30Little crisp.
02:31Not too greasy.
02:35I gave you a hundred of these.
02:36I'm going to go, well, what was the other one we did?
02:41We did two.
02:42Monocles and Papadale 7471.
02:44Yeah.
02:45So this is the best.
02:46That's to go to me.
02:50A 7-6 tavern.
02:51It's a really good tavern.
02:53You guys are making good bowling pizza.
02:58Am I allowed to roll a ball right here?
03:00Yeah.
03:01We're going to try to end it with a strike.
03:03One.
03:04I'm only going to do one.
03:07I haven't done one of these bad shoulders.
03:09All right.
03:10For the people at home.
03:15Roll right.
03:16Not the worst.
03:19Could have clapped a little bit, but whatever.
03:24Let's go.
03:25Pizza is very good.
03:26Hello.
03:27Pizza lived up to the height.
03:29Good bowling alley.
03:30Do people come in here just to eat or are they always bowling?
03:32Oh yeah.
03:33Yeah.
03:34They come in even if they're not bowling?
03:35Yeah.
03:36More than half of the feet.
03:37Oh really?
03:38Yeah.
03:39I just want to say that guy over there.
03:41That guy over there.
03:42That guy over there.
03:43That guy stopped working.
03:44He cleaned every table.
03:45He's been here 48 years.
03:47Central casting.
03:48Do we have that guy?
03:49I forgot.
03:50Add this.
03:51This guy's central casting for bowling alley.
03:52They say he's been here 40 years.
03:54Hasn't stopped.
03:55Wiping out tables.
03:56Cleaning the ball.
03:57Like when you walk into a bowling alley, that's who you want to be greeted by.
04:00Thanks.
04:01Nice meeting you.
04:02Yep.
04:04All business.
04:05Love that guy.
04:06Yep.
04:08All business.
04:11Love that guy.
