You better be, as the California-based steakhouse chain is preparing to open a reported 18 Chicago outlets in the next five years. That’s a lot of Sizzlers! Crain’s notes that the chain used to have as many as 15 restaurants in the metro area, but all of them closed when the company filed for Chapter 11 in 1996. Gone is the all-you-can-eat buffet, which some analysts blamed for the chain’s decline, but the “endless” salad bar will definitely be back. Honestly, we can’t remember the last time we ever set foot in a Sizzler, but is anyone else excited? [Crain’s]
