For our upcoming FC175 event, Forgotten Chicago is researching long-gone Chicagoland restaurant chains. Does anyone have any memories (good or bad) from the following? We are interested in the location, food, quality, décor, etc. of the chains below:
• Tijuana Taco
• Here’s Johnny
• Beef & Barrel
• 3 Bears
• E. A. & T. Junction (railroad themed eatery)
Thanks! The FC175 Team

Can anyone tell me where these restaurants were located? I can't remember anything about these places. I grew up and lived on the north and west side of Chicago and these places draw a blank to me. The 3 Bears, was that on Clark Street south of Devon Ave.
