We love good food and love traditional restaurants and eateries that stay locked in time not changing like the rest. But just as solid as day one

      Michelle Johnson no its called mild sauce. , if you look up how to make it the online recipes say ketchup and BBQ sauce. but it really don't taste like either one I think. its unique. you can make your own at home if you google Chicago style mild sauce. it takes like 10 seconds but not all sauce is created equal !!

    Exactly why food joints like this are not only revered locally, but also survive for so long. Good food, in no way pretentious (everyone is treated well and equally coming through that door) and you never finish that meal disappointed (unlike the feeling that KFC gives me sometimes). There is a good reason why people want to go on a food tour of these places - because you just can't replicate what they do, and its regional, so you really do have to get on a plane, in a car, and travel around to find places like this that will leave you satisfied every time. From the service to the food, hits the brief every time.
