"This South Loop stand claims to have created the Maxwell Street Polish sausage, which we choose to believe because of how tasty theirs is. But they also have porkchop, grilled chicken, and fish filet sandwiches, plus burgers—all of which cost less than $10 and come with crispy fries. There’s no actual seating, but it’s still satisfying whether you’re eating at the standing counters on the side or trying to avoid spilling mustard all over your dashboard." - john ringor, veda kilaru
