Woodfire pizza Rockford, IL

Smokin Coop BBQ Pit, Belvidere IL is nothing fancy. I would describe it as comfort bbq, which is just as enjoyable. Voted Robs best loaded baked potato ever.

Popular for their loaded baked potatoes!

This beef brisket sandwich is pretty lean, but its tender and lovely dipped in an jus. The butter loaded baked potato is loaded with butter as titled, no dryness all.

Sycamore is our favourite little historic farm town on the outskirts of Chicago. It has all the basic amenities, a great coffee shop, butcher shop and an excellent fried chicken place called the Dirty Bird.

Coroco Coffee Collective. Best breve I’ve had in a long time! Beautifully roasted beans.

Soft ice cream affogato. (Espresso with ice cream.)

At the Butcher Shop you can order things like hotdogs or buy individual sides like salads or pie ready to go. You can also but meat to cook at home. Great polish sausages.

The Dirty Bird. Freshest crunchiest chicken ever. Yum! Be prepared to wait a little bit while it’s made fresh!
