Saturday night, Liz started looking up information on a fast food place in Chicago from her youth that she used to go to for little square hamburgers for 5 cents. It was called Prince Castle and started in the 1920s. This would have been a counterpart to the famous White Castle which is still around (and, I have my own way of eating a slider, ask me about it some time).
She found out the first one was in Dekalb, Illinois (of course, that peaks my interest), and at one time had 70 places, many in the Chicagoland area. They were also famous for ice cream.
Over the years they morphed into another famous eating place around the Chicagoland area, Cock Robin, with their famous burgers and One-In-A-Million shakes.
I was not familiar with Prince Castle, but went many times to the Cock Robin place on Northwest Highway (US-14) in Arlington Heights.
