The Original Pancake House in Evanston isn't.  It's actually in Wilmette,
barely.  It's at 153 Greenbay Road in Wilmette just north of Evanston past
the Jewel and the Dominick's.  (Anyone else remember when Dom's was
Hi-Lo?  I'm talking 25 years ago.)  You can't miss Walker Bros...it's got
the little cartoon guy in the big chef's hat flipping a pancake on the
sign which says PANCAKES.  (Check out www.bigbook.com if you want to get a
map of the location.  Enter "Walker Bros" for the name and Wilmette IL for
the city and state in the search dialogue box.  www.bigbook.com a VERY
cool search site.)

Also, a very picky detail.  The Original Pancake Houses are all franchises
and there is variation between them.  The one on Greenbay Road and the one
mentioned earlier which is located in Highland Park as well as one that is
somewhere in Glenview are all part of the "Walker Bros." family of
Original Pancake houses.  They are, IMO, in a league of their own.  They
have the best breakfast meats (including a variety of chicken sausages
which are excellent) excellent coffee served with heavy whipping cream,
and the BEST pancakes.  I have never been to the one in Hyde Park, but it
sounds like it's good too.
