20 of Chicago’s Most Beloved Closed Diners
"Sealed into the annals of history by comedian John Mulaney, the Salt & Pepper Diner began its reign in 1965 on Lincoln avenue and went on to earn generations of fans over many decades with its milkshakes, burgers, and unironically retro vibe. The original diner closed in 2013 but a Wrigleyville outpost remained until 2016, when it was displaced by a massive redevelopment project that brought about multiple restaurant closures." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
