Jenny Craig has a warrant out for Susie's arrest.  with roots dating back to 1961, Susie's Drive-In sells tasty concoctions of saturated fat, cholesterol, high fructose corn syrup, and other heart-unfriendly ingredients from a colorful shack on Montrose Avenue.  The loyal following of diet-unconscious patrons come for foot-long gyros, Philly cheesesteaks, burgers, Polish sausages (served on a stick, battered and fried), chili cheese fries (served in an edible, taco-style tortilla bowl), and shakes of every conceivable flavor.

susie's traces its origins to a greasy spoon restaurant called "western burger," which (based on flimsy historical evidence) appears to have opened in 1961.  western burger was a sit-down/take-out restaurant and offered no drive-thru option.  in its heyday, a certain "mr. Ninos" loyally worked in the kitchen and gradually learned the business.  after the original owner passed away in 1973, mr. ninos purchased both the restaurant and the land from his widow.  mr. ninos and his wife changed the name to "Susie's drive-in," rehabbed, reconfigured, and repainted the interior and then added the drive-thru option.  mr. ninos has since passed away, but his wife and daughters continue to operate the restaurant today.
