Restaurant offers hole thing
By Jim Hanna
Staff Reporter
For theater students at UNL, eat
ing at The Hole Works, 1227 R St.,
is a lot like eating at home.
For one thing, it’s as close to the
Temple Building as most kitchens
are to the living room. Mosttheater
ites make the 15-foot trek to eat at
this bagel/pizza/ice cream/hoagie
shop at least once a day.
Still, the clientele at The Hole
Works is made up of a lot more
than famished Thespians. Diners
from all over campus invade the
Hole’s tiny confines every day and
many of them may find it to be a lot
1,1 "
like home, too.
The homemade feel of most of
the food is one of the restaurant’s
charms. The automated, synthetic
nature of fast food is nowhere to be
found. Hoagies and pizza are made
virtually from scratch at the mo
ment you order it — no pre-frozen
meals popped in a microwavehere.
By far, the Hole’s most notori
ous menu offering is the bagel. A
variety of edible concoctions with
bagels at their core are available. It
can be as simple as a toasted bagel
with butter for 60 cents or as ob
scene as the infamous Ziggy spe
cial, a variegated array of turkey,
cheese, tomato, cream cheese and
alfalfa sproutsall on a bagel ofyour
choice. The Ziggy will set you back
$2.75.
Other bagel toppings, available
in almost any combination are roast
beef, tuna salad, egg salad, cinna
mon, veggie spread and peanut
butter.
Hoagies go for $3.50 and slices
of pizza start at $1.75 for basic
cheese with additional toppings at
25 cents apiece.
An especially unique feature of
The Hole Works is the overall vari
ety of foodstuffs offered. Hungry
students can feast on ice cream (75
cents a scoop), Frozen yogurt (75
cents hard, $ 1.25 hard, $ 1.50 with a
mix-in), several kinds of dough
nuts and rolls, juice, pop, coffee
(gourmet and regular), soup and
plain ol’ sandwiches.
If there’s any drawback to the
Hole, it’s the occasionally high prices.
Almost everything on the menu
seems to cost just a bit more than it
should. Of course since most meals
are made by hand with tender,
homey care, it almost makes it worth
it. Another drawback of note is the
sometimes experimental nature of
some of their offerings. A recent
helping of Potluck soup was a
noteworthy failure in this regard.
Overall, however, The Hole
Works is a tasty, affordable little
dining center with a lot of person
ality.
And for most of us, it’s a lot
closer to the UNL campus than our
own kitchens.
Greek, American
come together
at Papa John's
By Pat Dinslage
Staff Reporter
Eating at Papa John’s Family
Restaurant is like exploring an
ancient village in Greece, absorb
ing the sights, sounds and smells of
a foreign culture, then catching
sight of McDonald’s arches on the
edge of town.
The restaurant is full of contrasts
— the Greek scenery posters, the
menu and the notices of upcoming
belly-dancing contests on each table
encourage you to dream of warm,
sunny Mediterranean islands. But
the standard American fast-food
type booths, tables and bright fluo
rescent lights drag you back to
Lincoln.
When you walk into the restau
rant, the first impression is PINK
The tables, chairs, carpeting and
wallsareall in pink — well, mauve
It looks like an slightly upper-class
version of most fast-food restau
rants.
Papa John’s menu is not fast
food, although you can order, eat
and be out of there in slightly more
than half an hour.
The menu reflects the restau
rant’s attempt to satisfy the tastes of
Greek and American cultures and
consists of a combination of famil
iar American dishes and strange
exotic-sounding meals.
Chicken-fried steak, ham and
cheese sandwiches and spaghetti
are listed side-by-side on the menu
with kabasa or gyro sandwiches,
souvlaki, beef or chicken kabobs
and baklava.
Translation of the Greek food
names into familiar terms is free
For instance, souvlaki is explained
as marinated pork on a stick and
gyros consist of thin slices of meat
on pita bread, lopped with a ranch
style Greek dressing.
The portions are more than
