Grab Your Keys And Road Trip To This Remote Steakhouse In Indiana For Its Legendary Steaks

If Indiana had a Mount Rushmore of great restaurants, Teibel’s Family Restaurant in Schererville would be carved into that stone with a very large chisel. It’s been quietly serving some of the best steaks in the state from a stone-faced building on a busy road in Lake County, and the people who know about it tend to keep coming back with a loyalty that borders on devotion.

This Unassuming Illinois Pizzeria Serves Sausage Pizza So Good It Should Almost Be Illegal

Anthony Bourdain called one pan pizza the only deep dish he ever loved. That pie still comes out of a small, homey pizzeria on a quiet suburban street in Illinois. The crust edge gets so dark and caramelized that it looks almost burnt. It isn’t. That crunchy, cheesy rim is the whole point, and the sausage on top is a house blend.

Seven Illinois Pizza Taverns Have Been Cutting Squares For Regulars Since The 7s

Ask anyone who grew up around Chicago how pizza should be sliced, and there is a good chance they will say squares, not triangles. Tavern-style pizza, with its cracker-thin crust and party-cut pieces, has been a neighborhood staple across Illinois for generations, and a handful of family-run spots have been serving it to the same loyal crowds for decades.

The Best Hot Dogs in Chicago, According to Someone Who Has Tried 'Em All

If you're looking for the best hot dog in Chicago, you've come to the right place. While I can't tell you how many hot dogs I've eaten in my life, I am sure that number is in the many thousands. After high school, I worked at Nick's Nest, a hot dog stand in my Massachusetts hometown, where I would have one for lunch every day. They're a favorite food to eat while traveling, and I regularly grab them in my daily life as well, because I live in Chicago, where the hot dog is a local staple.

Why Locals ADORE This Hot Dog Drive-In That’s Older Than McDonald’s in Chicago, Illinois

Open Sun–Thu, 11 AM–1 AM; Fri–Sat, 11 AM–2 AM. In May 1948, two newlyweds opened a summer hot dog drive-in in Chicago to help pay for college. 🌭. At Superdawg Drive-In, Chicago diners still pull into a carport, order through a speaker box and wait for a carhop’s tray on the car window.

This Old-School Illinois Steakhouse Serves Famous Baked French Onion Soup Worth The Drive

A bowl of French onion soup gets baked under a lid of cheese at one Illinois chophouse. The kitchen has been turning out that soup alongside steaks and ribs since 1969. That is a long run for any restaurant. It’s even longer when the menu still leans on prime rib, twice-baked potatoes, and Shrimp De Jonghe.
