White Castle Burgers Small. An average person can down one in three bites so I usually will order 6 or 8. I had already grabbed a bite at Henry's so I only got three. :)

Bunyon's Hot Dogs (closed) Now it is just another taco stand.
This was the site of one of the muffler men, holding a giant hot dog. The muffler man is now relocated to Atlanta, IL on Route 66 since 2003 after being in Cicero since 1963.
