Ahhh....

The classic Big Baby.

No special sauce, no gimmicks. Two beef patties grilled in front of you, slap on some American cheese, on top of the grease toasted bun. Slap on the grilled onions, mustard and that's it. The heart surgeon's best friend. I think it was something in those grilled onions those Greeks added that kept patrons returning.

It was impossible to not stop here now and then. Commuting from IIT to home -- 35th St. bus to the Archer Express, then down Kedzie Ave, and there it was...like a shimmering light beckoning the hungry to come in.
