It’s hard to believe, but it’s almost been a year since we’ve been on a Scott…Hey…what’s that…
Scott Toilet Paper?
No, you didn’t let me finish, I’m talking about a Scott Turley Road Trip! Where the hell were you in 2020, when I needed you!
Okay, let’s try this one more time…
This is more like it! There he is, the one and only MBIP Wheelman, Scott Turley! Great to see him again! And now…
We’re on the road again!
We’re headed to Bloomington, Illinois today and the destination is…
The legendary Lucca Grill in Bloomington, Illinois!
It was 4:16pm on a Sunday afternoon and there wasn’t a seat to be had in there! We didn’t feel like waiting for one, so…
Time to improvise on this sunny Sunday afternoon. Scott aimed the car at downtown Bloomington and it led us to…
Maguire’s Pub!
This looked like a nice place so we decided to make this our new road trip destination of the day.
As always, Scott led the way inside to start our road trip afternoon festivities.
There’s a nice and spacious bar in here and Scott and I settled in and checked out the menu.
Lauren was the pretty and friendly bartender on duty and she took our orders with a beautiful smile!
We started out with an order of their Peanut Butter Chicken Wings and these were fabulous and tasty wings!
The peanut butter sauce was rich, creamy and very tasty! There’s Scott biting into one with the infamous and patent-pending Turley Bite!
Now I’ll run around and take some photos while the main course is being prepared.
Here’s a shot of the back of the bar, the Budweiser globe spinning overhead and the beers on tap.
There’s a gaming room opposite the bar for all of you gamblers out there and a nice long table sits opposite the bar to dine and drink at.
They have two pool tables located at the back of the pub.
Meanwhile, back at the bar…
Our road trip meal is served!
Scott got a BLT on sourdough bread and I continued the peanut butter theme by ordering a peanut butter bacon cheeseburger.
There’s Scott taking the second Turley Bite of the day! He said the sandwich was excellent and very tasty!
The peanut butter bacon cheeseburger looked fantastic!
It’s two smash burgers with melted cheddar cheese, crispy bacon and a layer of smooth peanute butter on the toasted bun. Time to take a bite!
Oh. My. God!
This is beyond delicious! The burger is savory and juicy, the bacon is crispy and smokey and the peanut butter adds a rich and creamy flavor to the burger.
The cheddar cheese compliments everything perfectly and the bun is toasted and bakery fresh!
I’ve have had so many cheeseburgers while doing blogs through the years and I can safely say that this is the very best cheeseburger I’ve ever had! I highly recommend it and suggest you head over to Maguire’s Pub as soon as you can and try it out!
Thanks to Lauren and everyone at Maguire’s Pub for a wonderful cheeseburger and afternoon and thanks to Scott for driving and hanging out for the day. It was a blast, as always!
