    I really enjoy stopping off for a Maxwell St original Polish sausage in Chicago. I also like Carm's, but don't know where to park the truck.

    Any other suggestions on good places to eat in Chicago AND where to park?

    So is this it? Just Jim's Original. No other great places to stop in Chicago with a truck?

    Lets see there is portillos in the suburbs in Naperville. Its on RT.59 and about 1/2 mile past new york ave(Its about 3 miles S of I-88 ) Its right by the Fox Valley mall. Some of the best Italian Beef you will ever have. Also there maxwell style polish is awesome to. There is enough room to get a truck in there and park except during lunch time then its a PITA.

    Look for any Girodanos Pizza and get yourself a Chicago style stuffed pizza. You will enjoy the heck out of that. There is one of those off RT.59 and 95th st. Its about 5 maybe 6 miles S on 59 from that Portillos. There is also a Portillos in Bolingbrook about a mile N on RT.53 from I-55. Its at the intersection of 53 and boughton. Not far from the I-55 TS SH**hole there on 53.
