General Notes

I don't understand why this fast-food chain is so popular in Chicago. The food is atrocious. The environment is pretty bad, lines are long, and it's difficult to find places to sit. This is the last place I'd recommend going to.


Dishes Tasted

  • ★☆☆☆ Cake Shake -- This thing is actual diabetes. Although it does surprisingly taste accurately of cake.
  • ★☆☆☆ Hot Dog -- Not terrible but certainly not good. Again, the bun, which was somehow both soggy and dry really irritated me,
  • ☆☆☆☆ Italian Beef -- The concept of dipping the entire sandwich (including the bread) in gravy is completely ridiculous. The bread is super soggy, and the meat is dry and tough.
