Favorite out of the norm spot
One of my favorite out of the norm spots is Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinders. About once a year or when guests come in that want something different, a stop at CPOG is in order. Truly a pizza pot pie bought by the pound with whole mushrooms. The salads are huge. Unfortunately, so are the lines. Waits are usually long and parking is a bear. But, every once in a while you have to bite the bullet.
