The First Timer’s Guide To Eating In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation
"Before a whole day of landmark hopping between a former “World’s Tallest Building” and a giant handprint-covered metal legume, grab breakfast at another local institution, Lou Mitchell’s. We mean that literally—this West Loop diner has an official spot in the National Register of Historic Places for being at the start of the original Route 66. And it definitely has the old-school diner feel. Enjoy a classic skillet and pancake stack at one of their retro counters and bar stools, and the staff will probably call you some variation of hun, sweetie, or darling as they drop off a slice of their rotating pie of the day." - john ringor, adrian kane, nick allen, veda kilaru, sam faye
