Every day after school my 3 boys,ranging from 11-15 would ask the same question- what's for dinner?  Not knowing if a client was going to call me at the last minute, I was scared to show off my culinary talents and cook anything complicated or fancy.   Not that I knew how, but it sounds good. 

The number 1 reason I decided to compile this to go list is that my poor boys wouldn't starve.  Please no violin!  Ok I admit I won't win any  #1 mom awards for healthy eating.  The second reason for the compilation of this list  is to provide a useful tool for any newcomers in town who are sick of the same old Pizza Hut or Dominoes. 

One of my favorite establisment on the list is Prairie House in Prairie View, Illinois.  Most people never even heard of this town in the Northwest Suburbsof Chicago.    It is located between Buffalo Grove, and Lincolnshire, and you can drive through it without even knowing.   The restaurant located across the street from the train station  is a local establishment with good bar food- my boys think the chicken wings are the best. Its extremey busy in the summer on Friday nights or after Buffalo Grove baseball or basketball games.   If you click on their website, www.pizzaview.com you will find valuable coupons.    With your delivery, you can even order movies to go.

Here is another one for you in Chicao - Take out Taxi.  They saved me a few times from mediocre food.

Bills Pizza on Diamond Lake... Great Pizza and a very cool place to eat. What was the name of the Rib place just down the street from Bills?? That place was just outstanding.

Todd and Danielle- Thanks for the great article

Matthew - I will definately use take out taxi- maybe even for open houses

Jay- its on the tip of my tongue.  It's a great place but I don't think it delivers.

Judy - what a great list!  I need one for my area too!  I think I will have to get working on it.  Cereal and microwave dinners just don't cut it for too long

Sounds like what I do for lunch.  It also sounds like some great places for you to do JV with.
