Petes Famous Hot Dogs Review, Sycamore-Maple Park, IL
I love “mom and pop” places that have survived and thrived over the years. You’ll find a lot of these on the old, original highways of the US, like Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles, or US 61 which follows the Mississippi from New Orleans to near the Canadian border. I’ve written a lot… Continue reading Petes Famous Hot Dogs Review, Sycamore-Maple Park, IL
Busy Burger Review, Chicago, IL
Americans have been in love with burgers arguably since the first fast food chain (White Castle) launched in the 1920s, but the current infatuation is thought to have come to the forefront around 2011. There are several theories as to why the burger business amped up at that point in time, but many feel it… Continue reading Busy Burger Review, Chicago, IL
Parkers Restaurant and Bar Review, LaGrange, IL
Your dilemma, searching for this restaurant online, is that it is known, for some peculiar reason, by different names. The name on the building is Parkers’ Restaurant and Bar. The domain name for their website is “ParkersAmerican.” On different sites around the web, you’ll see a reference to “Parker’s Ocean Grill.” I’m confused and I… Continue reading Parkers Restaurant and Bar Review, LaGrange, IL
Around the Clock Review – Crystal Lake, IL
Despite there being an awfully lot of diners in the US that were founded by, or are run by persons of Greek descent, it’s uncommon that you run into places serving a “Greek burger,” which happens to be a combination I really enjoy. The recipe doesn’t vary much, and usually includes lettuce, tomato, cuke slices,… Continue reading Around the Clock Review – Crystal Lake, IL
DMK Burger Review – Chicago
Started in 2009, now with three locations in greater Chicagoland, DMK is regarded as one of the city’s great burgers. I found both positive and negative aspects to the experience. I had read a number of reviews prior to stopping by, and I agree with some of both the pluses and minuses. The beef burger… Continue reading DMK Burger Review – Chicago
Epic Burger Review Chicago
Cooling my heels on a frosty downtown Chicago day, I bumped into Epic Burger, started in 2008 and now with eight Chicagoland locations. A straightforward, simplified menu, namely, a burger, a chicken sammie, turkey burger, portobello burger, fries, salad, snakes and fountain drinks, period. The emphasis is on quality ingredients, humanely raised, hormone free, and… Continue reading Epic Burger Review Chicago
West Dundee, IL – Chubby Bullfrog Bar & Grill Review
I’m not sure if I’ll ever get used to bars and restaurants in strip malls. I guess it’s perfectly fine to younger generations, but the idea of trying to squeeze “ambiance” into a former yogurt shop or dry cleaner just seems a stretch to me. The Chubby Bullfrog sees itself as a sports bar, with… Continue reading West Dundee, IL – Chubby Bullfrog Bar & Grill Review
Geneva, IL – Old Towne Pub & Eatery Review
In my recent final Midwest swing of the year, before the snow flies and I head back south to the farm, I was meeting various friends around the city and burbs for fellowship and food. One of my stops took me to Geneva, IL, a far western burb – you’d recognize the quaint downtown… Continue reading Geneva, IL – Old Towne Pub & Eatery Review
McHenry, IL – Vickies Place Review
Few things I enjoy more than a hot summer day on a boat, and docking at a more than adequate waterside joint for cocktails and snacks. Such was the case I hit Vickies Place, in McHenry, IL. McHenry is perched on the Fox River, which runs into the Chain of Lakes, on up to… Continue reading McHenry, IL – Vickies Place Review
