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.

5 Illinois Diners Where Pancakes Hang Over The Edge Of The Plate

One Illinois diner will hand you a free meal, a gift card, and a shirt or hat if you finish four 16-inch pancakes. Four. Each one wider than most dinner plates. I love that a pancake challenge like that exists in Illinois. It tells you how seriously some kitchens here take breakfast size.

Name: Fairlane Diner Address : 300 Crossing Drive, Sherman Phone: 217-303-9330 Website : Fairlane Diner on Facebook . Credit/debit cards accepted: Yes Hours: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day (winter hours) Entrée price range: $4.23-$15.40 Children’s menu: Yes. Kids under 12 get a free cone with their order from the children’s menu. My order : Fairlane Diner is a 1950s-themed eatery that offers appetizers, nachos, burgers, horseshoes, wraps, other sandwiches, salads, hot dogs, dinner entrees and a variety of ice cream treats. I had a Mushroom & Swiss Basket ($14.60), a double smashburger with mushrooms and cheese, plus a 20-ounce drink and a choice of fries or tater tots. The patties were nicely seasoned and steaming hot; the tots were super crisp. My companion ordered the Club Salad ($12.73), a blend of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, croutons, turkey, ham, two cheeses and bacon. It was a large salad, and the ingredients were fresh and crunchy. Extra points for the delicious raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Likes: The menu offers a few hard-to-find choices, such as a Chicago Dog Horseshoe and a fried bologna sandwich. Dislikes: None What would I order next time? Next time I won’t make the mistake of not ordering

Last call for THC drinks at Illinois liquor stores

A century after Prohibition, Illinois liquor stores are preparing for another last call: This time, it's for THC drinks . The latest: A new state law aimed at cracking down on unregulated cannabis products will force many popular hemp-derived THC beverages off liquor store shelves starting Nov. 12. Why it matters: THC drinks have emerged as an alternative to alcohol, finding their way into liquor stores, bars and grocery stores. But the new law is poised to disrupt the growing beverage industry. How it works: Under the new Illinois Hemp Act, products containing more than 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container will be classified as cannabis and can only be sold by licensed cannabis dispensaries. To put that in perspective, a 5-milligram THC drink contains 12.5 times the amount allowed under the new limit, while a 10-milligram drink contains 25 times as much. State of play: Binny's Beverage Depot and other liquor stores are already clearing out their THC beverages ahead of the deadline. Retailers have until Nov. 11 to sell or otherwise dispose of affected inventory before the new restrictions take effect. Context: The legislation, signed by Gov. JB Pritzker in June, was designed to bring oversight to

2 IL pizzerias serve some of the best pies in US, report finds. Where to go

Two Illinois pizzerias earned spots on The Infatuation’s recent analysis of the best pizza places in America. Both are in Chicago and serve distinctly different styles. FULL STORY: These 2 Illinois pizza shops serve some of the best pies in America, report says Here are key takeaways: The Sept. 22 report from The Infatuation, “ The Best Pizza Places in America ,” named Pizz’Amici and Milly’s Pizza In The Pan among the nation’s best. The analysis did not numerically rank the restaurants. Pizz’Amici was praised for its tavern-style pie. The Infatuation described the crust as “impressively thin and crackery” with a bottom that is “a Dalmatian-spotted, charred beauty.” A 14-inch Chicago thin-crust pizza starts at $21. Milly’s Pizza In The Pan stood out for its pan-style Chicago deep-dish, with “zesty” tomato sauce and caramelized cheese on the crust. A cheese pizza starts at $20 for a 10-inch and $24 for a 14-inch. Pizz’Amici is at 1215 W. Grand Ave. in Chicago. Milly’s has two locations: 925 N. Ashland Ave. and 3409 N. Broadway in Chicago.
