When a camera crew arrived at Rosie’s Home Cookin’ on May 15, 2023, to report on public safety in the suburbs, relative to Chicago, the popular diner located at 1567 N. Aurora Road received double exposure during air time on both FOX News via “Breakfast with Friends” and FOX Business with Stuart Varney.
FOX News political analyst Gianno Caldwell spoke with owner-operator Lynn Lowder, a Veteran Marine who served in Vietnam, as well as dozens of other Veterans and diner guests from 5-8AM during the show that highlights the latest in news, weather, sports and entertainment with a casual and spontaneous discourse.
Caldwell, a Chicago native who now resides in Florida, has some connections with folks in Naperville that date back before he joined FOX in 2017.
Longtime associate Naperville resident Brian Colgan stopped by Rosie’s to greet Caldwell and it seemed like old-home week.
Off camera, Caldwell extended his gratitude to many diners in attendance who had expressed condolences regarding the murder of his youngest brother, Christian Caldwell, in Chicago last June 24. Caldwell, always hopeful, continues to seek justice, saying he’s been “disappointed” in the way the Chicago police have been doing their jobs.
