Attention food employees/chefs/restauranteurs of chicago: could one of you just please put a taco shell salad bowl filled with cheese and fries on your menu? I will forever be grateful. I mean, this isn’t achatz-level gastronomy. Honor the chicago spirit of Susies and just do this thing.

Kinda miss the after work late night burger and shakes

Those French fries were the best in the ENTIRE WORLD. I dunno what they did, but I’ve never had a fresh cut fry as good as theirs.

The only memory I have of that place is seeing a huge rat running out of it during a visit. Last time I ever went back lol.

I live about a 2 minute walk from there. I think I went in there maybe 4 times, and literally every single time the employees were having a shouting match. Food sucked, shakes were garbage. Nothing of value was lost.
Taco pros sucks too, possibly more.

Favorite Susie’s memory for me was when I was in high school I had this friend Amy who was seeing this older guy. He took us both to Susie’s and bought me a giant cheese fries order. It came in a deep fried taco shell bowl. Then he proceeded to take us both back to his mom’s apartment and tried to get us to have a threesome with him. I was a complete virgin and the cheese fries weren’t *that* good so I left and took the bus home.

I was a kid and could always feel my heart after eating the fries lol.

I’m a Chicagoan and I went to college out of state.
One of my favorite memories was visiting a HS friend one summer after our freshman year of college, getting hammered in his parents basement, and walking to Susie’s for an Italian beef.
Just one of those moments from youth that you remember because you were so young and dumb.

Roaches.
I knew both owners. They always had issues with roaches.
I lived like 3 blocks from there since I was a kid.

Is there any new options for my Supertaco fix?

Still my favorite Philly. Can’t find anything as good. Could never finish it in one sitting but LOVED that it tasted freshly-made after microwaving.

I used to live on Sunnyside and Hamlin as a kid and would go to the laundry mat that used to be right next door to it.

A combo, a sack of fries in a greasy bag, and a banana milkshake! (baboon?) Shared with my friend under the sodium lights of a parking lot. RIP Greg, you are missed.

They had the BEST fries. Where can I get fries like those? What seasoning did they use?
