TWIN ANCHORS.. Ribs.. in Old Town..

JOHNNIES BEEF.. Melrose Park.. On North Ave.. Has a 'grandfathered' charcoal grill for sausage/combos.. Great.. As good or better than Mr. Beef and Al's (and I love Al's)..

CAPRI.. Also on North Ave. in Mel Park, absolutely terrific Italian.. Family-owned.. Try the Calamari Capri appy.. Perfectly done calamari in pepperoncini hot oil..

RUSSELL'S BBQ.. Since we're on a Mel Park roll, don't miss Russell's just off North Ave., on left just past Maywood Park and Kiddieland.. Interesting nutmeg-tinged barbecue sauce with beef, pork, chicken,, Different..

If you hit Johnnies ask for 'tree' beefs or combos and no one will know you're not from the area

And Steve I've never tried Capri but will now. When my G-pa was alive he insisted on Rosebud and Armands (Elmwood Park) but he wasn't really open to change.
