The Silver Palm

Try the Three Little Pigs, a big sandwich stacking together double-smoked ham, panko-breaded pork tenderloin, and Applewood-smoked bacon, all topped with melted Gruyere cheese and a fried egg, along with a panko-breaded onion ring on top of the bun.

"Located in a chrome railcar on the southeast corner of Milwaukee, Chicago, and Ogden, the historic Silver Palm was a 45-seat dining car that closed in 2018; Anthony Bourdain’s 2008 No Reservations visit — when he declared the Three Little Pigs 'the greatest sandwich in America' — brought fame and helped keep the business afloat, and the new Matchbox owners plan to eventually reopen it." - Naomi Waxman

Silver Palm, where Anthony Bourdain ate ‘the greatest sandwich in America,’ to close in West Town inside a 71-year-old dining car as the Matchbox bar could be in jeopardy | Eater Chicago

"Housed in a 1947 Budd dining car parked on the southeast corner of Milwaukee, Chicago, and Ogden, the narrow 45-seat restaurant known as The Silver Palm has spent 16 years inside that chrome railcar and is closing at the end of the month. A 2008 No Reservations visit — during which Anthony Bourdain, joined by Mancow Muller, tried the signature Three Little Pigs and declared, “That sandwich is the greatest sandwich in America” — sent sales soaring and effectively saved the then-struggling spot. The Three Little Pigs combines a deep-fried pork cutlet, bacon, and smoked ham, all covered with Gruyere and two eggs. Owners David and Jackie Gevercer are listing the building and the 71-year-old boxcar and teased “something new and exciting,” but the announcement sets a firm closing date of September 29, so there are only days left to grab that sandwich and a classic cocktail." - Ashok Selvam
