How Chicago Works

I went to Chick-fil-A for dinner and ordered a Spicy Chicken Deluxe Sandwich with Pepper Jack Cheese.  Cost was $4.39 plus tax.  After paying for your food, they give you a plastic "cup" which holds your straw, condiments and receipt and also serves as a way for them to recognize where to bring your food after you decide where to sit.  Mine was a purple cup. The sandwich was great as has been for all Chick-fil-A sandwiches I have had in the past.  While expensive for a chicken breast, it is still hard to beat in taste and texture.  I added the Chick-fil-A sauce to it which is essentially just honey mustard.  Great sandwich overall!

I have been waiting a while for  Golden Corral  in Arlington Heights, IL to open since I saw it was under construction in the early Summer of 2018.   Seems it was being considered since at least April 2018  but it took until the Christmas season of 2018 to open... so I had to go check it out. I had been to another Golden Corral several times in Gurnee (near Six Flags - Great America), but I since we had an Old Country Buffet near us, I didn't really need to make the trek out to Gurnee to get a buffet. The Golden Corral in Arlington Heights, IL takes over the space previously occupied by Old Country Buffet.  While the tables, chairs and food stations are all new, the layout is quite similar to how it was laid out at the former Old Country Buffet!  It's near identical in fact! Being new, it was definitely nice looking and clean.  Waitstaff and cashiers were friendly and
