Cars to Cows

I saw these cows grazing in a strip of mechanic shops on Western Ave. at Ardmore. They are no doubt a bit of road flair meant to draw customers to Max's Italian Beef, an old school Chicago beef joint. I love the creative reuse of oil barrels and complete cow essence that comes through despite holes, rust, and a perch on old washtubs. These are amazing and definitely worth checking out! Also, the cows are just a hop skip to Devon St. where you can get some great Indian food if you're not into beef.

As long as you're up in Roger's Park, you might as well make a day of it and continue the tour of outlandish restaurant art. So head east on Devon to SuperDawg drive-in at the corner of Milwaukee and Devon. The drive-in is topped by giant plaster statues of a male and female hot dog, presumably Mr. and Mrs. Superdawg, and real Chicago icons. They have a sort of Fred Flinstone-if-he-was-a-hot-dog look that is more than worth a visit. Plus, people love the 50's style drive through, massive shakes, and of course, the superdawgs. So much weird art, so little time...
