It's amazing.

I feel like I should just graze my way to wherever we roam. I'm loving all the suggestions!

For the Evanston trip, Edzo's Burger Shop is really nice. The burgers are really good. The shakes are outstanding.

Fannie May Chocolates. Hand-made (expensive) chocolates. Best I've ever had.

This thread is making me hungry.

They only sell boxed stuff now...most of the little store side of the business folded up shop a couple years ago. little kiosks will pop up at xmas time.

I like Marshal Field's Frango Mint chocolates more than fannie may anything

It's Lent, you guys!

I'm glad to have Evanston suggestions. It seemed like a lot of national chains.

although I when field got bought by macy's (?) I think they may have gotten rid of the candy department....

Be nice to CSB and stop with the candy talk, she only has to get through the next three weeks

My kid is counting down the days. I'm gonna puke from gorging on my Easter basket.

And yo, Chicago, Imma let you finish, but Clifton, NJ, has the best chocolates of all time.

We both had the Chicago dogs and voted them a hit. I wasn't prepared for the pepper, which I managed in one bite, and got the hiccups. Next trip I'm definitely getting a Italian Beef Sandwich.

hot dogs!!! next time I visit my folks i need to see if nana's is still open. It is a local place in my hometown that makes awesome food. the fries are fresh...literally, they slice the potatoes into the fryer basket, blanche them the cook them.

I am not a fan of fresh fries. Like the ones at Five Guys? Yuck. But, to each their own.

 

[snickerd3]

the kind at five guys are nasty

 

[knight1fox3]

I don't get fries. Only steamed veggies on the side.

 

[csb]

I gave up fries for Lent. I've been getting kf approved sides.
