It’s not every day in Illinois that there’s a celebrity sighting. Usually, it’s because there’s an event or sports game happening, or because something is being filmed. Unlike places like Los Angeles or New York, not too many celebrities actually live in Illinois (though lots of cool people were born here!). However, if you know the right spots, you can probably spot someone noteworthy out and about. In fact, this diner could very well be the best restaurant to spot celebrities in Chicago, Illinois.

When celebrities come to Chicago, they have plenty of restaurants to choose from. But many find themselves gravitating toward Soulé Chicago at 3615 W Roosevelt Road.
