The World's Largest Chicken Tender Festival Is Coming To Illinois
I would dare to say that most children are picky eaters. I was, so was my daughter, and many other people I know. It's usually something kids grow out of. The typical food groups for young'uns are grilled cheese, mac 'n cheese, hot dogs, cheese pizza, and chicken nuggets or tenders. Sometimes it's fun to go back to those days and have an old school meal. There is a festival going to Illinois that will feature one of those items.
