The locally-sourced menu at Harvest Room makes it unique in Palos Heights and a rarity in the south suburbs.
A big-city magazine has taken note of a Palos restaurant with a local focus. ChicagoMag.com, the website for Chicago Magazine, posted a blurb about Harvest Room, the newest addition to Palos Heights restaurant scene, and its locally-sourced, "nonindustrial-meats" menu. Palos Patch has featured Harvest Room from the time the restaurant owners approached the Palos Heights City Council for a liquor license to its grand opening celebration in January. Harvest Room is located at 7164 W. 127th St., Palos Heights. Want related news?

The Palos Heights ice cream shop has added some new items to catch customers attentions.
It might be considered decadent to put bacon on a hot dog but what would you call a bacon wrapped dog, deep-fried, covered in cheese and peppers? At Tastee Freez in Palos Heights, it's known as the Pit Bull. “We were tried of the same old dog,” said owner Diane Goerg. "That’s where we got the name.

A slippery thief recently made a slick getaway with more 500 pounds of restaurant grease. Owners of Smokin’ Joe’s BBQ on 127th Street told Palos Heights police used cooking grease was stolen sometime on Oct. 2 or Oct. 3. The stolen grease, leftover after cooking and stored in a large box behind the restaurant, is regularly picked up and processed by a grease recycling company, is valued at about $200. The spike in energy prices has turned the used cooking product into a money-maker for restaurants, said Todd Taras, co-owner of the Palos Heights barbecue joint. "It's very lucrative," Taras said.
