Route 66 begins with fried chicken

My Illinois Route 66 adventure officially kicked off today with a stop for lunch at the iconic Delray chicken basket in Willowbrook and it couldn’t have started on a better or tasty note.
Since the 1940s, the Rhea family has been welcoming travelers along this legendary stretch of road. What started as a bluebird bus stop has grown into one of Route 66 most beloved dining landmarks, and I must visit for anyone chasing Americana.
From here, it’s miles of memories waiting to unfold. Let the mother wrote adventure begin!
