Fast food

By Zaky E.

Oak Park has the top three fast food chains McDonald’s (a.k.a Mickey-D’s), Burger King, and Wendy’s, but it also has some local restaurants like Mickey’s and Tasty Dog. 7 out of 12 people prefer the local restaurants, but the McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s are easier for people with busy lives because they can go through the drive thru. The reason most people like local restaurants are because of the quality of the food compare to fast food restaurants and also they’re healthier than fast food restaurants, because fast food restaurants make foods at big factories and local restaurants make their food in the kitchen.

New Rebozo

By Ethan G.
The New Rebozo is a restaurant that isn’t that new but they have amazing food. Their chef, Paco is a very nice man, his motto is Oh My God. When you go there I encourage you to get the mango tamales and if you are a child I encourage you to get the half steak off the kid’s menu. Their menu has many options and you should try every one. One entree usually costs between $9 - $15. The restaurant’s address is 1116 Madison St. Oak Park IL 60302. When you get the chance to go to this restaurant, it will blow your mind.

Chocolate

By Joshua F. and Zaky E.

People think chocolate is a dessert or a junk food. But chocolate is more than a junk food. Chocolate can fight cancer. Chocolate is full of antioxidants so it can fight against infectious diseases. It can also be a healthy snack. Chocolate is filled with a whole lot of vitamins and minerals. Also, it fights heart disease. Chocolate is a great snack. In dark chocolate with high cocoa content, there are special antioxidants and nutrients that fight heart disease. What do you think chocolate is? A healthy snack or a junk food?

5 Guys

By Gabriel H., Ethan G., and Zaky E.

A new fast food restaurant opened on Lake Street and is taking Oak Park by storm. Five Guy’s Burgers is a chain popular in the Southeast. It serves burgers, hot dogs, and fries. Out of fifteen people we interviewed, they all liked it. They also serve their very own peanuts in bowls where you can serve yourself. Five Guys has no artificial trans fat and is gluten free except for its buns. When my friends and I go to Five Guys, we usually get their bacon cheeseburgers because they are so good.

Hot Lunch

Hot Lunch

By Zaky E.

We interviewed Claudia C. in 1st grade. She has hot lunch about everyday out of ten she would rate it about six. In her opinion, she would prefer a hot lunch over a lunch that she would bring from home. Her favorite school lunch is the corndogs. Her favorite lunch that she would bring from home is a peanut butter sandwich. One thing she would change is to have healthier foods.

By Peter G.

Please come to dinner
Why, it will make you thinner
I’ll have chicken and meat,
And something sweet,
Please come to dinner
