Anyone else remember Alemar's, corner of Dundee and Quentin near some forest preserves in Palatine? I miss simple Greek places like that. They gave you food. I mean, they really gave you food.

Yeah. I used to live down Dundee from there. My ex wife and I used to order from there all the time.

I ride my bicycle past that place when going to Deer Grove (the forest preserve). Last fall it looks like they were getting ready to reopen as something else, the "Spring Garden" or something. But I haven't been by since.

I thought that was some of that patented Telegram Sam humor. They actually named a Hungarian restaurant after paprika? I suppose it's that or Liszt.

That place was dirty.

When I first moved to the far northern burbs in 1991 I had just joined the golf team and my new teammates
took me to a restaurant out in Vernon Hills by the mall called Hamburger Hamlet. It didn't last long and
actually turned into something else. No idea what the space is now if it is even still there. Doug might
know. Pretty sure this wasn't a Chicago institution but looking on their website the franchise looks to have
been completely wiped off the entire map.

It was an LA thing. They were a chain, but each one was unique in the way its decor looked. I saw the owner died a few years ago and I think just the original is left.

Hugos used to be a Hamburger hamlet on rush.

You mean Parky's?

The one on Harlem is. The one on Roosevelt is not.

Mickey's in Bellwood on Mannheim and the one Villa Park, are still open.

I mean Mickey's on Harlem, across the street from McDonald's.
