There are over a dozen Diners, Drive-ins and Dives featured in Chicago alone, including fan favorites Kuma's Corner, Taste of Peru and Smoque. We also recently learned that Grace Delcano, owner of the Galewood Cookshack, a DDD that was run out of a truck, has sold her truck, open for catering business only.
