Taste of Spring Grove, Illinois

Just got back from the first taste, and hopefully it won't be the last. Unfortunately, because of all of Thursday's rain, we had to walk from the gate, about a quarter mile to get to the grounds. But, it is a nice walk with mature trees lining one side.


EATIN' OUR WAY THROUGH

Five local restaurants and the fire department were offering food. Defintely try Bacci's Giant Pizza Slice which is roughly the size of a half pizza. It's huge. Then, there are Tommy's beer nuggets and about the closest NC-style pulled pork I've come across up north. All I can say is that those fire guys know how to make up some mighty fine chili. I didn't try any of Billy's offerings as I've had them often. I highly recommend their Vienna hot dogs and superb Italian beef.

All these are located on historic US-12, which runs right through the middle of town.

O'Shaneys Irish Pub is located in "downtown" Spring Grove, if you can call it that. It sure isn't very big. It is right across from our famous statue and in a building that is over one hundred years old. Of interest, its been a bar/restaurant for the whole time. They were offering their famous chicken wings, a definite taste treat.

Great Food Offered Here, and Getting More All the Time. --RoadDog
