Every Illinois Restaurant, Outside of Chicago, Featured on Television [LIST]
From 'Diners, Drive In's and Drives' to 'Restaurant Impossible,' here are all of the restaurants in Illinois to be featured on television.
Food... yummm. It's no surprise that I like a good meal, and Illinois is home to some of the best. I've actually had the pleasure to dine in a few of these restaurants listed before, and I promise it's worth all of the hype.
Our friends at RebootIllinois.com used a handy tool called the TVFoodMaps to list every single restaurant that has been on television. It's no surprise that Chicago is home to many of these places, and you can see all the 150 Chicago establishments that have been listed here.
