When the moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie that's....Patachou?



This just in!Accoring to Indy Star's Indy in the Kitchen, Patachou will be adding a pizzeria to their list of delectable foodie hot-spots. The new restaurant, Napolese, is said to feature Neopolitan-style pizzas made with imported artisan flour.

Located at 49th and Penn, you can be sure that the 30kMill crew will report on just how tasty Indy's newest pizza parlor turns out to be!

30k Profiles: Chris

Welcome to another edition of thirtythousanddollarmillionaire profiles! Today we introduce you to Chris- you might know him for his delicious Mexican Bean Salad. It is to die for!


My motto is: You're only young once.


Childhood ambition: I really wanted to work at an amusement park. Not to be one of the furry costumed performers, or the guy who guesses your weight, but the guy who gets to test ride the roller coaster everyday before everyone else. The guy who sits up front with a train full of sandbags and says "Yea this one's OK" or "Crap, I shouldn't be flying through the air."


Favorite cocktail: Jameson. Straight. On the rocks.


Favorite place to grab a cocktail: At the moment... Plump's. It's that time of year, what can I say. And they have a doggie snack bar on the patio so you can bring the pup along to enjoy the summer air.


Cheap eats: Sno Zone. I've made it my dinner more than once and if you consider yourself a regular, the punch card gets you your 10th cone free.


Cheap thrill: Hiking at Holliday Park. Ok, so it's not real hiking, but it's about as good as your going to get in the city. They have 4 miles of trails that wind around the park and some great river access to go enjoy the sights and sounds of the White River.


Favorite thing about Indy in the summer: The Monon... nuff said.


Fav type of music: It always comes and goes in waves for me, but right now its the new school throw-back hip hop... think Beastie Boys meets Fresh Prince meets 2009 on the mean streets of the Chicago 'burbs... see - The Cool Kids.


Looking forward to this summer: Ponding. I love turning nouns into verbs.


On my days off you’ll find me: On a patio... any patio. My favorite thing about this time of year, in the city, is all of the outdoor eating that takes place. Any given weekend afternoon, you'll find me enjoying drinks with friends, sunshine, and the almighty patio.


You might be surprised to know: I was a soprano in the Indiana State Boys Choir when I was younger. Oh how I miss all the bad dressing and cheesy choreography that went on.


Favorite websites: www.facebook.com - www.addictinggames.com - www.cigarsinternational.com


Best advice anyone has given me: "Be where you are."... When I first heard this I thought it was one of cheesiest pieces of advice I'd ever heard. I do, however, find myself thinking this when I'm in situations where all I want to do is turn around and run. Basically, it means "Shit, I'm hear, might as well make the best of it."


Favorite party memory: Whaaaaaaaaaaat, there was a party? Don't remember that.


Favorite way to be green: MYOBW - Make Your Own Bottled Water. If you grab a bottle of water from my fridge there's a 95% chance that its tap water in a used bottle. Hope you don't mind a little backwash.


Favorite weekend morning spot after a night of parties: Petite Chou by Patachou. The broken yoke sandwich with fresh fruit hits the spot every time.


Thirtythousanddollarmillionaire is: the shizznit. Duh.


DPs make me feel: All warm and fuzzy inside. I especially like DPs when they're a surprise... oh that sounds dirty.


Favorite recipe: Freshly made baked ravioli. Dough from scratch, with cream cheese and spinach filling, baked to crispy perfection. Delicious.

30K Profiles- DTM

We mentioned it before and it is finally time. Today we introduce a recurring series where we let you in on just what makes the 30K contributors tick.


We're kickin' off the 30Kmill Bios with none other than the Circle City's own, Downtown Marge. This sassy PR pro took the time to answer a few questions on what she does in Indy to keep it classy and budget friendly, all at the same time. Check it out! She's the bees knees.



HERE WE GO...


My motto is: What's a motto you?


Childhood ambition: To be a Broadway star. Don't ask me to belt out "On My Own" - I WILL do it.


Favorite cocktail: Impossible to choose, but if I had to (and apparently I do), I'd say a classic G&T with tons of lime or if we're drinking beer (and I normally am) I'd say Oberon or Two Hearted Ale. I also thoroughly enjoy a mojito when I'm feelin' sassy.


Favorite place to grab a cocktail: Anywhere they're sellin', I'm buyin'.


Cheap eats: The most obvious of choices - Yats. It's the best. Period.


Cheap thrill: Butler basketball games, walking the Canal at night, lunch from Au Bon on the Circle


Favorite thing about Indy in the summer: The vibe, man! Everyone is in a great mood and ready to party. Other favorites include Symphony on the Prairie, outdoor concerts/movies, Race weekend, the list goes on.


Fav type of music:Contrary to popular belief I do listen to more than just Hip Hop, but it is probably my fav. Anything with soul that I can nod my head to is what I'm about.


Looking forward to this summer: Anything and everything, just get me outdoors!


On my days off you’ll find me: Downtown, obviously.


You might be surprised to know: I hate surprises. Seriously.


Favorite websites: facebook.com, foodnetwork.com, textsfromlastnight.com, postsecret.com, overheardinnewyork.com, cnn.com, theonion.com


Best advice anyone has given me: My dad gave me two great pieces advice about the opposite sex. 1) Don't try and change 'em and 2) You do the pickin'.


Favorite party memory: There is hands down, no way I could answer this question. But they always involve dancing, friends and a fair amount of quoteables.


Favorite way to be green: A wise man once said, "it's not easy being green." Or was that a frog? Either way, my fav way to be green is turn off my air/heat and open up my windows (when Indiana weather allows). This also makes for some excellent mood music, as I live directly across the street from the Chatterbox. God, I love being Downtown.


Favorite weekend morning spot after a night of parties: Karlie's couch with a cup of Costa Rican coffee, Taste Cafe, Cafe Patachou


Thirtythousanddollarmillionaire is: the JAM


DPs make me feel: Like I'm in the blue zone. Look it up.


Favorite recipe: Roast Lemon Chicken, Fall Pears - both simple, both delicious. Check, please.
