Kuma's Corner · Chicago, USA: Burgers and drinks themed to heavy metal bands. Even as an American, the burgers are MASSIVE. The heavy metal is not just a gimmick these burgers are my favorite of all time.
Sophia's House of Pancakes · Highland, USA: Breakfast Diner only open until 2-3pm. Jack of all trades (if its breakfast or lunch) and actually nails everything with good ingredients and flavor. For the midwest? A diamond in the rough.
Taqueria Catrinas · Carrollton, USA: Hole in the wall Mexican restaurant! Every bite is rich and authentic (as a person whose family is from Mexico). They even serve you an extra tostada appetizer before the meal!
