Genius loves pancakes

What do “Livin on a Prayer,” epic disappearing acts, The Daily Show, and gourmet white-collar crime have in common? Their brilliant creators (Bon Jovi, David Copperfield, Jon Stewart and Martha Stewart, respectively) are all from New Jersey! Before they were stars, these celebs used to kick back in Jersey’s finest late-night diners until the sun came up.

Conclusion: Genius is born at late-night greasy spoons over pancakes. I never thought I’d say this, but this town could take a few tips from New Jersey.

What to do? Call the Evanston location of Clarke’s Diner at (847)864-1610 and tell them to stay open past 2 a.m.!

Our futures depend on it.
