The sign at Fuddruckers claims to serve the ‘Worlds greatest hamburgers’, I am not certain how true that is, but I do quite like eating here even though it is a chain resturant. Their slogan is after all a registered trademark, I wonder if those trademark approval people get a pile of hamburgers to sample for…

Saint Roger Abbey – French Gourmet Patisserie run by nuns
If you are trapped in the Westfield Hawthorn Mall at Vernon Hills and need some salvation from the depressing nature and offerings of the Food Court, you could do no worse that taking a trip along the mall to the French Gourmet Patisserie run by the nuns of the Saint Roger Abbey.

Flashback – DC Sarnies in the suburbs
Now DC Sarnies is nowhere near Washington and it is nowhere near the Elevated railway where I ususally hunt but its worth talking about and visiting.
