Where to Eat in Suburban Chicago

"Originally founded in 1955, Al’s Drive-In is a street food icon in suburban Maywood, serving generations of locals and students at nearby Proviso East High School. In addition to a stellar lineup of classics like Chicago-style hot dogs and pizza puffs, Al’s sets itself apart from the crowd with American Chinese dishes delivered with Thai twists. Its fried rice — loaded with salt, pepper, MSG, and a mixture of dark soy and Golden Mountain sauce — is by far the best seller, with customers devouring up to 320 quarts per day." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
