Edgeywood, Michelle and I along with our better halves and friends attended the La Porte County Red Cross Trivia Night Fundraiser at Benny's last night. It was a packed house and I believe it was quite a success for the Red Cross. We used CBTL as our team name and although we did not win, we did come in 4th and I believe none of you would have been shamed by our better than usual trivia performance. Benny's provided prizes plus a very nice layout of free hors d'oeuvres. Benny's is obviously community minded and although they were a bit short of help, the night went well and the food and drink were delicious. They will be repeating this fundraiser toward the end of March, again at Benny's. Perhaps we can get a couple of teams together for that one.

BTW, Benny's hosts a regular trivia night on Thursdays, so if any of you are in a trivial mood, let us know and we will join up to attend a few of those.

How is Benny's these days? Haven't been there since the Dompke era - like a million years ago.

I've always enjoyed Benny's, but recently they added a traditional Chicago-style deep dish pizza. I'm here to tell you, for my money, there's no better pizza in MC than that deep dish. I say that as an unabashed fan of Albano's, but that Benny's deep dish is special. My mouth's watering just thinking about it.

Thursday 2/4/2010 - We are heading back out there tonight (to Benny's) for some dinner and trivia. Trivia starts at eight, I believe. Anyone looking for something to do, come join us. We could use a few more brains. tongue.gif

We were also at Benny's last night for dinner and the trivia. Dinner was very good. We went with the lake perch and ribeye. Edgeywood tried the onion ring appetizers- all good. We will try the pizza next time.
BTW, if you were there during the trivia, we could have used a little help - team CBTL. We did come in third place though. Join us next time......or were we competing against you?

I was a carryout customer. Was this competition at the bar, or....?

We sat in the bar, but I believe there were participants in the dining room, also.
