LINDY'S LANDING
On the way to Arlington Heights, I stopped in Wauconda at Lindy's Landing. It is on the site of an old public beach called Phil's Beach. Back when I was growing up in Palatine, Illinois, a major high school destination was Honey Hill, located near Phil's Beach.
I played NTN at Lindy's and enjoyed the view of Bang's Lake. The restaurant has three stories of open space and lots of windows. Their half pound black angus burgers are $2 off on Tuesdays.
J.J Twigg'S
I then went over to J.J. Twigg's, also in Wauconda, for the first time in several years. The decor in north woods AND they have complimentary peanuts along with some of the best pizza in the area. Every day, there are food specials, and for lunch Mon-Fri, they have $1.99 hot dogs and hamburgers, both coming with fries.
J.J. Twigg's at one time was owned by Frank Costello's brother. Frank used to own big hangout for us on Fox Lake, Costello's Pub and Grub. One of the other owners of Twigg's also opened a place called Risky's in Lake of the Ozarks. We went there to play NTN coming back from a Route 66 jaunt a few years ago and were surprised when we saw the J.J. Twiggs logo on a peanut bucket and found out it was one and the same.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
