Chicago Living Tip No. 22

restaurants popular among real Chicagoans are not listed in any of the local rags.  so here’s how to find them, and this isn’t a joke–i’m being totally serious:  if the place is frequented by cops, then you know it’s good.

  3. Truckers also know the good eating spots. This doesn’t apply so much to cities, but it is helpful knowledge.

    Oh, especially applicable in the Midwest, the quality of food a place serves is often inversely proportional to how good the exterior of the restaurant looks. If the interior is cruddy, that should raise a flag, but often the best joints don’t look that hot from the outside.

    Note that Cracker Barrel has never disappointed me if you are traveling and in need of Good Eats ™.
