Now that Philly's Best has opened up a Greektown location (769 W. Jackson), we get to deal with a completely different brand of last call idiocy for late night eats. Lucky for us the Markellos brothers have both a sense of humor for dealing with drunks and make some of the best Philly cheese steaks and grinders in the city. A longtime favorite of ours from our days on the North side is the Monterey Chicken grinder, a molten blend of skinless chicken breast, ham, bacon, cheese and ranch dressing that's good for at least two meals (if you buy the large one for $8.99). It'll definitely absorb a fair amount of alcohol.

Chicagoist alum Scott Smith once described Morgan's on Maxwell as "a great destination for anyone who wants to take a date to dinner without missing SportsCenter."
