CLASSIC FRY PERFECTION
For that crispy comfort food fix, Superdawg (333 S. Milwaukee Ave., Wheeling) is the ultimate old-school drive-in experience. Their side for the legendary hot dogs (and more) is literally trademarked as Superfries™! Fred’s Garage (574 Green Bay Rd., Winnetka) fries also hit the perfectly crispy and nicely salted mark. Get some alongside their Whiskey Barrel Smoked Brisket or their popular Rib Night. The large PERi Chips at Nando's PERI PERI (Old Orchard Rd. & Skokie Blvd., Skokie) at Westfield Old Orchard get a boost with the signature PERi-salt and side of slightly spicy creamy “PERi-naise.”

YES, PLEASE TO CHEESE FRIES

On a less traditional cheese fry route, be sure to try their feta  Hit up Little Louie’s (1342 Shermer Rd., Northbrook) where their famous Merkt’s Cheddar Fries go with any of their creative wraps, authentic tacos, or old-school favorites Vienna Beef hot dogs. Catch them at the Louie B. Fresh blue food truck if you’re on the move.
