Breaking News
So I was out by the mall a bit ago and I noticed something interesting: there's now a sign up for Hooters, apparently it's "coming soon." Location: if you're driving on Essington toward the mall, and you're at the part where you go left or right into the Mall Loop, it's on the left. I also saw a guy taking a picture of the sign, which was a little odd. Someone must be excited. I really wish we could just get a BW3 instead so I could enjoy wings without skanks, but we'll probably get one eventually. Also: I put up links. Enjoy the writings of some local Jolietans and one cool dude in Washington DC.

We have TWO Steak n Shakes. Also, what constitutes a "brewpub"?
Stretchmarks? Wtf?
Just before I left the Rialto building, they had someone interested in starting a brewpub there. Of course I've heard that story many times before, so we'll see what happens.
Also, there's a BW3 in Romeoville. A Hooters would be a real coup, though I don't recall seeing stretch marks on any Hooters girls I've ever seen. Maybe that's why they wear pantyhose?
Yeah, I love the food at Hooters, but I don't really consider it "progress." "Progress" would be getting a new restaurant that's not part of a chain that lasts for more than 6 months. It happens so rarely. I think Jolietans have a hard time reaching out of their comfort zone, foodwise, which is shown by our restaurants.
I so agree with you Em. I think we need some new options around here. I'm tired of having to drive out past Westmont to get to P.F. Chang's and Wildfire.
Hooters food sucks, but that's anyone goes there. Has anyone been to Pom Poms on Plainfield road? I hear it follows a formula similar to Hooters.
Perhaps this would be a good time to list some of the better restauraunts in j town. Excluding Tallgrass, which is in a league of its own, my top spots are:
1) Public Landing
2) Barolo
3) Truth
4) Syl's
5) Al's
It drops off pretty steeply after that, although I like Texas Roadhouse quite a bit too.
Well, I have to admit that I haven't been to Al's in quite awhile. I guess after Syl's it drops off pretty steeply.
BTW, I had a great microbrew over the weekend. I was at Piece
watching the Sox game, and tried their dysfunction ale. It won a gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival, and is quite possibly the best beer I've ever tasted. It was like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on steroids.
I'm sick, but not too sick to talk about food.
Al's: I love their Lobster Collins and brandy ice, it's a great place but they need to change their menu up a bit.
Syl's: Same as Al's minus Lobster Collins and brandy ice.
Barolo's: never been, need to go
Truth and Public Landing: went to both a few years ago, both were good and I need to go again.
Tallgrass: Never been, it will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine.
My personal favorite local spot is Louie's Chophouse, always good stuff.
Not only is there a BW3 in Romeoville, right up the road there is supposedly a Hooters as well. Blech!!! - Romeoville resident
