Chicago Lost Eateries-- Part 3

Buffalo's Ice Cream Parlor // Burger Chef // Cal's Roast Beef // Tad's Steakhouse ($1.19 steak meal located in Chicago, New York, Cincinnati and Philadelphia where even a poor boy on a date like me could take Liz and afford a steak meal.) //// Hans' Bavarian Lodge in Wheeling // Ignatz and Mary's Grove Inn in Northbrook // Sky-Hi Drive-In in Chicago (I don't remember it, but it had a full-size plane on its roof.) //// Roy Rogers' Roast Beef // Rustic Manor in Gurnee // I'm adding Mers in Wauconda for fresh-flown-in cod for Friday Fish Fry.) // The Magic Pan (crepes anyone?) //// Ponderosa Steak House //// Bonanza Sirloin Pit //// These last two had Hoss involved with them. There are some of both places still around elsewhere in the country. Recommending the Bonanza in Lincoln, Illinois, on Route 66, Home of the Rolls That Are So Good They Don't Need to Be Throwed and those hot, straight-out-of-the-oven chocolate chip cookies. //// Mr. Donut (which became part of Dunkin' Donuts) and, Cock Robin with those great Million Dollar Burgers and milk shakes!! //// Sure Brought Back Some Memories. --Cooter
