The Scene
So Chicago, it's surreal. The original wood-paneled '60s decor remains, and walls are covered with photographs, reprinted columns and a ''Wall of Fame'' of Chicago journalists (Mike Royko has his own wall), some of whom still can be found warming bar stools here. Royko's replacement at the Trib--John Kass--is a regular.
The Food
Burgers, dogs, steaks--but you're sure to get berated if you don't order the double cheez. The two thin, greasy patties come straight off the grill, onto a bun and into your hands. Grab a bag of potato chips--still no fries--and load on the onions, pickles and ketchup for yourself. Voila--a Chicago classic.
