Jon:

I have been looking for a picture of Coach Rupp that I know I have seen on your website, but I cannot find it.

It is a picture of Coach Rupp walking through the tunnel at Memorial Coliseum getting ready to walk out into the Coliseum.

Can you please let me know where I can find that.

Thank you

Just stumbled on to this photo where Rupp used to frequent. They used to have an old booth in the Kentucky Basketball museum.

Brooking’s Restaurant at 504 East Euclid Avenue, near the intersection of Woodland Avenue on November 7, 1982. G.E. “Ed” Brooking opened the restaurant, near UK’s campus, in 1938. It became famous for chili, which Brooking began serving in 1945. Kentucky basketball coach Adolph Rupp called it the best chili in Lexington and was a frequent customer. Brooking died in 1982, and his son Harold ran the restaurant until it served its last bowl of chili on June 1, 1991. It is now a hookah lounge called Off Tha Hookah.

Thanks for the picture of Brooking's, Cawood. I lived about a block from there during my Lexington days, so it brings back lot's of memories.

The brick building next door became the infamous Lynach's Irish Pub. I spent quite a bit more time in there than I did in Brooking's.
