With no team hospitality at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on May 11, KV Racing Technology "Brazilian brothers" Tony Kanaan and Rubens Barrichello went in search of lunch.

Kanaan and Barrichello Visit Mug-N-BunA local churrascaria? No. Something dripping with local flavor.

"You know, I am always the nice guy and smile and have fun and eat healthy.  Where has that gotten me in Indy?  Still haven't won yet, so maybe I need to change some things around," says Kanaan, a triathlete who will attempt to make his 11th start in the Indianapolis 500.

Kanaan and Barrichello enjoyed a root beer float and pizza burger at one of Indianapolis' finer dining establishments -- the Mug-N-Bun -- a mile as the crow flies southwest of Indianapolis Motor Speedway. 

"I still will watch my diet but darn it I need to do something to get to winner's circle," Kanaan adds.

Barrichello, who a day earlier breezed through the three speed phases of the Rookie Orientation Program at the Speedway, enjoyed the spread.

"Of course I'd love to win here, just like 32 others," he says while sampling the onion rings straight from the deep fryer. "But I'll tell you what, I love this food. I love it.  I think when my family gets here we really might come by and do a lunch or dinner.

"This isn't a place to eat everyday, but one more time between now and the '500' wouldn't be all that bad."

For Barrichello, who has seen every circuit from Monaco to Montreal, the Mug-N-Bun was just one more unique dining experience. Reminded by a friend that Emerson Fittipaldi used to bring a personal chef to Indianapolis for the Month of May and eat seaweed and kelp, Barrichello comments: "That might have worked for Emerson and gotten two wins at Indy, but I'll gladly eat this and take one win this year."
