I don't know. Maybe it's because it's been so long, but I remember Erbert & Gerbert's being better. Or maybe my memory is just waxing nostalgic over the fact that in college, my buddies and I used to stumble in drunk late night Saturday into the original store on Water Street in Eau Claire, WI. After getting our food, we'd stumble the 30 yards back up to my buddies' crappy college apartment above the store. Or maybe I've been living in this area too long and have been tainted by Milio's being all over. I really don't know. Not saying I won't ever eat Erbs and Gerbs again because they're food is pretty good. It's just that something has been lost to time which makes it taste just a tad different.
