The Chicago Diner, Tuesday Afternoon

Lunch 8/1

Radical Reuben

Southwestern Wrap

Chili and Mac

Peanut Butter and Jelly


After visiting the King Tut exhibit at the Field Museum in the morning, we were starving. We also knew that no trip to Chicago would be complete without a visit to the Chicago Diner on N. Halsted -- so, we drove up Lake Shore Dr. in search of lunch...

When we arrived, the car's temperature gauge showed it was 107F, so we knew the first thing we had to get was a milkshake -- Liz had the chocolate, the kids had a Mocha milkshake and a strawberry and Blueberry Smoothie.

The kids split the chili and the pb&j for lunch. Liz had the Southwestern Wrap which was so big she had to take half back to the hotel for a late snack. I had the Reuben -- which in retrospect, I should have taken half back to the hotel for a snack. ;)

Great diner classics in an old-skool setting. Definitely worth the trip!
