If you want to stand in a long line and get the best fast food Chicago has to offer, you have to go to Paradise Pup in Des Plains. Trust me on this one!!! You will not be disappointed!

I used to work 3 minutes from there, OMG it is sooo good!. Merkts Cheese fries are the best!

Back in town! We had 3" of snow on my boat this morning in Grand Haven. Had late lunch at Portillos. Hauled the whole family there today. They went home and I will be here for next 2 weeks. Lots of good recommendations.

You want pizza...go to Aurelios just down the road on Jefferson st. service sucks but Pizza is my favorite of all time..thin crust though.

The original Aurelios (regular/thin crust) in Homewood is the best food in the world. I don't know why it's not a tourist destination. In my experience some of the other Aurelios are very good but there are a few that are not so good.

Fort Myers...neat...Weve been to both of them In vegas and its pretty close to the others. Homewood is the best right now....

The best was when Aurelios was located in Marycrest shopping center...when Joe cemeno owned it...Anybody here remember that? That goes back aways.

I remember when Aurelios was in Marycrest Shopping center. I also remember when Joe moved it down the road to a new location. On Thursdays they had .25 cent pints of beer. Those were the days!

Yes I remember those pints...I think I still have mine. We spent many a night in there.

Okay, what is "Chunky Chicken" all about?

suppose to be a chicken joint compared to 'chicken n spice' in downtown joliet from what i've heard. never had it but was told it was decent. chicken n spice is great, boneless breaded chicken chunks just get them with a side of jos (potatoe wedges)
