D&G deli in Jacksonville. Go here every Saturday before work.
My favorites are by food style.
Dive Joint/Burgers
—Jackson Ave Pub - Naperville
— additional points for always having GBH on tap
Italian Beef
—Johnnie’s in Elmwood Park
— the gold standard
Italian
— can’t choose just one. There are so many ridiculous joints in town. These are my typical go-to’s.
Joey DiBuono’s Tufano’s Vernon Park Tap for the best linguine and clams anywhere! The whole family eats there to give Joey some money back from him losing it on the golf course
—Agostino’s - Chicago. The best Italian seafood you will ever have.
