Here’s Every Illinois Joint Featured On Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives

A while back, I published a post about a place that was named Illinois' best burger joint by none other than Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. From what I understand, there's a very active fan base for Triple-D, and those fans want to visit the same places that they've seen Guy rave about.

I recently read about a guy who is going to take that desire to a whole new level by taking a year or so out of his life to travel around the entire country eating at each and every food joint that has been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. In case you didn't know the number of places he'll have to visit off the top of your head, I'll help you out: it's well over 1,300.

Let's see how many Triple-D featured joints he'll be visiting when he gets to Illinois.

In The Interests Of Full Disclosure, I'll Have To Admit That I've Only Been To One Restaurant That's Been On Triple-D, And It Wasn't In Illinois

It was this place, Franks Diner at 508 58th Street in Kenosha, Wisconsin. It was absolutely outstanding in every way.
