It happens to the best of us: One moment you're having the time of your life, the next you're wishing you had never accepted those last--how many was it?--shots of tequila. Job No. 1? You need something that sticks to your ribs (or at least stays in your stomach)--and fast. Time for some of Chicago's best greasy spoon-style meals, followed by a nap. (Photo: Sunda)

Our picks of restaurants and bars with the best bloody marys in town.
Your head is throbbing, but this barbecue joint--known for its meaty baby backs--will satisfy a growling stomach while dispensing comfort in the form of a huge bloody mary bar. More alcohol? Eh, at this point, why not?
Down-home food such as ultra-rich mac and cheese and buttery mashed potatoes at this comfort kitchen and watering hole will make you temporarily forget that you're still seeing double.
When a craving for carbs comes calling, look no further than Rockit's biscuits and gravy, a super rich and satisfying dish complete with pork sausage gravy, cheddar jack cheese and buttery biscuits.
Those in search of feel-good sandwiches flood this longtime nook for its gut-busting Disaster sandwich, a meat-fest layered with ham, bacon and homemade hamburger 'sausage? blanketed in cheese.
Expect to be abused--but know it's in good fun--at this irreverent but classic Chicago-style hot dog stand where expletive-slinging is half the shtick. Char dogs with the works and burgers are well worth the foul words that may or may not be directed at your while you order. But what do you care? Your ears are still ringing from the late-night club music anyways.
