My Hometown: Joliet 

"Bozo hotdogs", I think it was In Lockport in the 1960's, yum!

So, no mention of Syl's in Rockdale, White Fence farm, or even Joe's Hot Dog...how about Al's Steak House...there are many good restaurants in Joliet!!!

RAX BEEF

I'm from Shorewood, and my family used to eat at Merichka's in Crest Hill, DAmicos on Jefferson St., and Stefanich Chicken in Joliet.

Best damn donuts in the city is home cut (i dare somebody to prove me wrong)

Hey my name is Joliet for real I ain't lying

Lived here and plainfield for 14 years before I moved to Tennessee. As life happens, I miss my hometown more and more each day. Illinois is tough to live in but it's my home, and that'll never change.

Can’t believe he didn’t mention Joe’s hot dogs! It was my favorite fast food growing up!

Can't forget Joe's Hotdog, Hey Hotdog or last but never least Ace Drive inn

No Joes hot dogs????

i got high at all those places

My fav? White Fence Farm.

The amount of meat you get on the poorboy has drastically changed. It's been cut way back

The Mexican restaurant in Rockdale IL that he is speaking of is called El Comal......

This sandwich is ridiculous

There is so much more to Joliet then just those few places and I still live here

The BEST Poor boy in the world!

Heros burgers. Joes hot dogs. Chicken N Spice. White Fence Farm . Lindas Pizza.

Chicken n Spice, unfortunately is no longer in downtown Joliet. They do have two other locations in Shorewood and Tinley Park, however... and they're supposed to be building one in New Lenox too.

Try going there for dinner now. The prices have tripled! Thanks Joe Biden/Zdralevich.

DYING WATCHING YOU EAT THE POOR BOYS! Havent been back there in over 3 yrs and YOU JUST KILLED ME

I currently live in California and I miss home so much. I used to live at Chick n Spice. Every day I'm there getting my chicken chunk fix while going to Juco next bldg over

Just moved here going to both places tomorrow

Moved to Ohio 2 years ago, but I miss Joliet almost daily. Lived there my whole life. My mother and grandfather had a country band and my grandma June owned a restaurant there. Very much a nostalgic segment.

taken sum home to mississippi. grow up here drove a hour out of my way to get them

My old neighborhood 25 years ago

👍👍👍😋😋😋

OMG, you had Pat Paul!!! Man...we were so lucky to have him.

Awesome.

Hey Matt - what was the name of the pizza place your folks owned?

Isn’t that part of town crest hill

Matt is a shady liar, parents dont own a pizza place.

love

I live in joliet and those chicken chunks are sooooooo good, they are the size of a tenis ball if your lucky you'll get some the size of a baseball Edit: brother , you forgot to mention babas

Joliet is pronounced like toilet.

Yeah, that's true. Joliet is more than the prison, the drag strip, and the casino. Unfortunately, it's nothing to brag about it. The older parts, downtown, etc. have interesting city history, but Joliet is a cauldron of low-class, conservative knuckleheads with no real future. Met far too many of them there, back in the day. Well into my third decade gone from that area..the southwest Chicago metro...and I'll be blunt- other than Chicago itself, I don't miss the area. Long since moved on to bigger and better things.

Chicken and spice is trash, don't waste your time, go to harold's instead. Merishkas is ight but not really good for the price. On second thought, if you're out of state, skip Joliet and go to Chicago if you're looking for good food or literally anything else to do

i hate chicken and spice
