The Crooked Duck
The Crooked Duck is a legend that was told to owner Joseph Rooney when he was a child by his uncle. After a man feared he had killed a duck when he hit it while water-skiing on Island Lake in Illinois, they miraculously saw the duck swim to shore—albeit with a crooked neck. This relatively new breakfast joint will hopefully have the resilience of the duck, as readers are wowed by the restaurant’s breakfast offerings (particularly the chicken fried steak and Monte Cristo sandwich).
The Crooked Duck is located at 5096 E. Pacific Coast Highway, (562) 494-5118, thecrookedduck.com
