The place Chicagoans drive through on their way to Gene and Jude's.
There used to be a good gelato place on North near johnnie's.

So you're saying you live in Niles?

I remember all the jewelry stores and bridal boutiques on Harlem.
Apparently italians like to get married a lot. Plus the jewelers
advertised 17 kt gold or 19 kt. gold or something like that: 14kt was
not good enough.

I haven't been at G and J for so many years I can't remember. But FWIW,
my chef friend took his kids to Gene and Judes a few week ends ago. (My
friend is always looking for the next great business idea, involving
simpel good food, and I am with him on this. Plus he loves dogs and
sausages.) The kids hated it. "Eew," they said, "why did we come
here? We could have gone to the Wieners' Circle!"

That place is OK too. A flock of sea gulls seems to have discovered it
and it's fun to feed them extra fries in the parking lot.

Great old place. I've loved it since the 50s.

Check out Felony Frank's, at Jackson and Kedzie, too. Picnic tables
under trees, yet, by where you park.

Harlem, just north of Madison, in Forest Park.
I ate there last fall. The Hot Dogs are just awful. They're known for the
fries, fried in beef tallow. I picked up lunch and drove back to the
office, 20 minutes away. Everything was soaked from the grease. My car
seats, the paperwork sitting next to the bag... really greasy. The hot dogs
were oscar mayer, just blah.

Obviously, taking them back was a tactical mistake. Try picking up
some real croissants some time. But it reminds me of when Wendy's
first opened in Downers Grave (Woodridge, whatever). We took our
burgers back to work. Some of the "juice" dripped on my desk, and
formed a little disc of congealed beef fat.

Don't get me wrong, the fries were good. The grease was nothing short of
amazing, however. It wasn't just a little juice, it was a paper bag full
of greasy fries that soaked everything. I'd go back for the fries, but
nothing else.

I can't explain how 11 and 12 year old sisters think, with any sort of
confidence.
Their chef father told me the line was out the door, and he is trying to
figure out why. I DO understand his thinking.

good point.

At weiners circle you are in and out in minutes with those nasty unwashed
fries that taste just like the oily bag they come in.
the rest of the food though is ok though. It's really hard to screw up a
polish, at least in the city.

Fries cooked in lard....yum.
I threw a few LJS malt vinegar packets into the glovebox, and found
it adds quite a nice bite to gene and jude's fries.

Professinal tip, Eric.
If you let the grease soaked papers air out for a couple of days, it takes
on a "papyrus" look.
It impresses people. Just make sure the smell has aired out.

The hot dog I had was more Ballpark/Oscar Mayer than Vienna. Maybe they
ran out that day, but it wasn't very good. When I expressed my
disappointment here, lots of folks agreed.
I always heard Parky's was a legend. I was disappointed.

There's lots of things I didn't know about until I left the nest.
Some I might not have liked anyway. I was well into my 30's before I
knew about malt vinegar and thought it smelled so bad I didn't even
want to be a table when someone was using it. I love it now.
Another food item I didn't know about was avocado. I discovered them
when I was about 20. My mother and both grandmothers had limited
menus and over cooked damn near everything. I didn't like chicken or
pork until I left the nest and learned they didn't have to be dried
out shoe leather.
