Yes, they are known for these friendly, entertaining spots in the woods or near the water, and they always serve cheese curds as well as great “Old Fashioneds”, but guess what? Illinois has some of these dining spots as well. In fact, there is one just a few miles from O’Hare with a name that will make sense once you hear it. It is the ” Great Escape Restaurant”, located at 9540 West Irving Park Rd. ( this is not to be confused with the retail stores called The Great Escape, where they sell pools and spas).

Paczki And Rye Bread Have Kept Lines Out The Door At Chicago’s Oldest Polish Bakery

Paczki in July? At one tiny Illinois bakery, that is not a typo. The owners make the famous Polish doughnuts all year, not just on Fat Tuesday. That alone got my attention. Then I learned the same small counter sells flaky croissants, seeded sourdough, and frozen pierogi to take home.
