Banfi's is the restaurant for the hotel school (it's in the Statler Hotel on campus) and well worth your time. The food is quite good (although not spectacular) but everyone working there is a student in the school, and it's likely that your waiter had something to do with planning the menu. It's really fun to talk to the staff about the food.
@DanD: Thanks for the info on the Hot Truck and the connection to French bread pizza. The menu primer was helpful. Now I CAN'T WAIT to visit Ithaca.
@Littlebluesiren: I'm sure we'll go back in warmer months, so I'll put Purity Ice Cream on my list! Thanks.
In case you go back in warmer months ... Purity Ice Cream is one of Ithaca's many gems. I once had a root beer float with Ithaca soda and Purity's vanilla ... it's perfect, especially after hiking around the beautiful gorges. Have fun and stay warm!
So, there's a significant difference between Louie's Lunch and The Hot Truck.
Louie's sits on North Campus pretty much 24/7. Food is good.
The Hot Truck, on the other hand, only appears on West Campus late at night. Hot Truck subs are available from Shortstop Deli pretty much 24/7. Adam, it is critical that you get down there as The Hot Truck is widely credited with inventing French Bread Pizza (before Stouffer's stole the recipe) and they do it really, really well.

I'll bug you about this tomorrow, undoubtedly - but right now, I'm really craving a WGC.
Heh. My friend says he meant Maxie's Supper Club too.
