Rosie’s Home Cookin’

Fox News Asks: ‘What About Naperville?’ in Diner Segment About Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson | Eater Chicago

"Located about 40 miles west of Chicago in Naperville, I observed that Rosie’s Home Cookin’—owned by Vietnam War veteran Lynn Lowder—was used by Fox News as a remote site to gather supposed Chicago reactions to Brandon Johnson’s first day; the segment filled the diner with camera-ready veterans who echoed criticisms that Johnson’s election was "shameful," shifted to discussions of drug overdoses and President Biden, and even featured a diner wearing a Detroit Old English "D" hat, all of which prompted locals to call the shoot staged and question its authenticity given Naperville is in DuPage County and not one of Chicago’s 77 neighborhoods." - Ashok Selvam
