Stop at Quaker Steak & Lube in Portage to help support military families

Quaker Steak & Lube doesn't have any locations in Illinois, but there is one not too far over into Indiana in Portage. It's a chain that I have never visited, but I have heard great things about the food. This press release that I received makes me love the place without even taking a bite.

The franchise is partnering with Folds of Honor and a portion of proceeds from all sales at its 55+ locations through July 4 will go toward scholarships for military dependents. Read below for full details.
