“Look, here’s the deal. We can get rude. If you don’t like it, suck it up, or get drunk.”
And this is how lunch starts at my all-time favorite Chicago eatery.
Sure, there are classier joints with juicy steaks and good wine.
But I love Ed Debevic’s with the greasy burgers, salty fries, snarky waiters, and paper hats.
“Hey! Why don’t you put your phone down and talk to your friends!”
The decor is 50’s diner. The costumes range from 50s to 60’s, our lumberjack was most definitely 70’s and punk 80’s. A balloonist entertains kids while the parents have to beg waiters for the hats, “No. Not now. Maybe later.”
“Hey! Boring table! You wanna refill?”, the waitress screams over to her table as we’re walking out.
A must see in Chicago, if you are a fan of crazy, wacky or downright obnoxious fun, this is THE place for you.
