Chicagoland Lost Eateries-- Part 2

Ground Round // Chi-Chis // Pickle Barrel (Dill pickles and peanuts at your table!! Who needs more?) //// Howard Johnson's // Henry's (hamburgers) //// Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips // JoJos // (I'm adding Sambo's, a hopelessly pi place, especially their mascots, 24-hour place. We had one in DeKalb where Pizza Pros is located now.) //// Chicken Unlimited // Millionaire's Club (Liz's dad belonged to the one in Des Plaines by Golf Mill for awhile. Loved to go there where you got treated like royalty and, even better, free alcoholic drinks. Bring on those Lime Rickeys.) //// Jack in the Box (I really miss these in the Chicagoland area. Believe me, when on the road, it is a definite stop for some of those delicious greasy tacos. Nearest one now is at Litchfield, Illinois, half way betweem St. Louis and Springfield, Illinois. We always stop there, even if full from our stop at Cozy Dog. We often see folks heading northward on US-66/I-55 ordering large numbers of tacos for friends. Lots of Jacks, as they're now called, around St. Louis and as far west as Sullivan, Mo. on 66.) //// More to Come. --DaCoot
