Fried chicken and open roads

Did they mark the official start of my route 66 adventure, and there was no better way to begin that then with a stop at the legendary Dell Rhea’s chicken basket in Willowbrook, Illinois-a true route 66 icon.
This place is everything you hoped for in a roadside classic: vintage neon, retro booth, and the best fried chicken I’ve had in ages crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor.
They have been serving travelers since the 1940s, and you can feel that history in every bite. Sitting there, surrounded by vintage signs and Route 66 memorabilia, it felt like the perfect lunch point for the miles of adventure ahead.
