DrunkBomber Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Who walks in to eat...none other than Jim Thome. He was with what appeared to be a wife and daughter? Id say and was getting mobbed by the wait staff. I thought it was pretty interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, I'm not sure, but I think, the main part of the story was the Thome bit. Like I said, I think that was what the topic was really meant to be.

Anyway I was there twice...and enjoyed it both times. The portions are huge...not sure if they were big enough for Mr Incredible, but they're sure to satisfy everyone else. The wait sucks though.

retro1983hat Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 That must have been cool to see 94% of our offense in Lombard when the team is in Anaheim. Please Crede, Dye, AJ and Paulie, please get hot soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkBomber Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 I really like the menu at Claim Jumper. My brother has worked at a Claim Jumper in California for like 5 years and every time I go out there I go there. The portions are enormous though.

NorthSideSox72 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I saw a Claim Jumper the other day out in the NW burbs. Hadn't heard of it before. I assumed it was an insurance attorney's office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
