Next weekend on WGN America: Our Sky*Dives culinary SWAT team drops in on Springfield, Ill. The first stop is Charlie Parker’s diner, a place packed with memorabilia and patrons. We order what may well be the world’s largest pancake, about the size of a large pizza. We follow that with a local specialty, The Breakfast Horseshoe, featuring eggs, sausage, Texas toast, gravy, hash browns and beyond. Despite the circus qualities of the presentation, the place defines Midwest breakfast overkill. Then it’s off to Joe Rogers’ Chili Parlor to take on its legendary Firebrand Chili with a few regular chili dogs to beat the heat. Our tongues are still on fire from this authentic hot spot.
