Too bad the gyro stand, across from Sips, that is open after the bars close on Welch doesn't have a name! That was the best food I have ever had!!!!

I hope this post is a joke. Either that, or you need some help with your geography, chet.
Greetings Folks...Long time reader, first time poster.
This is slightly off-topic, but I need a little help remembering a restaurant name...I was at ISU from 1997 to 2001. When I was there, some co-workers and I used to go to a Serbian/Croatian restaurant up on Welch, right in that building where Paddy's and The Head Shop are located. The specific year was probably 1998 through 1999 when this was a regular activity for us.
The place I'm thinking of was up on the second floor, and was run by a very large Serb/Croat guy by the name of Bogdan, if I remember right. His wife and mother, and I think daughters too, did all the baking and cooking. I can't remember what the name of them was, but they had these bread rounds that were stuffed with some delicious meat and veggie concoction. They were so popular at the time that you had to go to lunch a little early or else you risked them running out of the daily fresh baked bread rounds they used.
I've been racking my brain on this...Can anyone help me out and remember what the heck the name of that place was? And bonus points if you can remember what those stuffed bread things were! :wink:
Thanks in advance, Everyone. The help is mucho appreciated. :smile:
Kraina Bakery. I worked there for a short time in 1995. Great food and I loved the family. They basically got screwed in many different ways when they fled Serbia and came here. The owners were a veterinarian and a dentist in their home country but couldn't get licensed here. So, they opened a restaurant. Eventually they got run out of that location so the trashy bars that are there now could expand. America, what a country!
Kraina! Thanks a million! :notworthy:
You wouldn't happen to remember what those stuffed bread things were called, would you? I LOVED the chicken one...They were so delicious.
Man, that sucks. I knew they left but I never knew why I guess. Did they move to another location (I hope!), or did they close up for good?
The guy was always so nice. He'd always come over and chat with us. It was one of the many reasons we were regulars.
For people saying that Hickory Park has reasonable prices... their prices are more than reasonable. They're practically a steal for what you get in terms of going to a sit down restaurant and how much food you get.
That being said, The Cafe in Sommerset is definitely #1 for me. It's certainly not as cheap as Hickory Park, but the food is WELL worth the extra 2 or 3 dollars. FANTASTIC.
