Classic Auto Group’s Local Eats Guide: Best Bites in the Greater Chicago Area and Lake County Illinois on National Tuna Day

“I’ll have Tuna on white, no crust” – Paul Walker as “Brian” in The Fast and the Furious

Today is World Tuna Day!  Whether you order a classic “Tuna on White, no crust” or prefer a swanky Seared Ahi Tuna Steak or some Spicy Tuna Rolls, it’s clear that this prolific fish has caught our culinary-obsessed hearts by hook, line, and sinker!  We’re highlighting this maritime meal with a list of amazing local restaurants that are perfect for on-the-go meals as well as sit down dinners.

And we’re covering our suggestions for conveniently portable Poke Bowls for a light, refreshing and totally instagramable lunch with a little island flair!  Tuna Poke is the perfect meal on a summer’s day alongside a crisp iced cocktail.  They also make great picnic lunches at the beach or the park, and are easy for passengers to eat in the car on your next road trip.

Have a suggestion for your favourite place to snag a Tuna dinner?  We’d love to hear from you!  Let us know in the comments on our social media, and we may feature your pick in our next Local Eats Guide!
