My father is the pianist at Gibson’s Steakhouse thank you so much for shouting it out
Luv ya Mark, however, no self respecting Chicagoan will ever eat an Italian Beef with a knife and a fork...
It's for the tourists ;)
Gotta say... I have them double dip my Italian beef and then I just eat it out of the wrapped paper. Yes it's messy. There's nothing this good is Portillo's Italian beef double-dipped!
I've never seen anyone do such sacrilege to an Italian beef.
You are usually asked what level of dip you want, along with whether you want sweet or sport peppers. All of these foods with sauce are sloppy and eaten with the hands. Using utensils is so "European"!
Agree, that's what napkins are for...
I am a tour guy of chicago and being a Mexican-American myself I was so happy when I toured a group from Mexico into Chicago to try out our traditional Chicago style deep dish pizza and they said that this pizza was so good that that it didn't needed ketchup because in Mexico pizza is always topped on with ketchup.
The food in Chinatown is amazing. Highly recommend it!
Na
I'm still sad they closed Won Kow
Where tho? Because I've had no luck there
I've had DELICIOUS dim sum there, it is to DIE for
Excellent and useful video. You can check out cost effective hotel in Illinois, US - enjoy the video - czcams.com/video/qtXzNzxs-to/video.html
So happy you mentioned all the local places!! My favorite thing about Chicago is there’s so many amazing individually owned restaurants with passionate workers!
Chicago is home to the best food! We embrace so many cultures allowing for a vast variety of foods. I love my city 💙
There are many exceptional Chicago thin crust pizzas that are just as much Chicago as deep dish.
deep dish pizza sucks
I lived and worked in the Chicagoland area for the first 39 years of my life. YOU ARE SO RIGHT! I'd add Gene and Georgetti's!
OMG.. I moved to Texas a few yrs ago.
CAN'T WAIT TO GO HOME TO EAT MY HOME TOWN FAVORITES 🍺🍕
Lawrence Hall yes! I feel the same way! I moved to Iowa a few years ago and it’s torture living without that Chicago food. That’s why when I go back for the holidays I try to eat much as I can 😂
Moved to South Carolina 25 yrs ago & still go home at least once a year to get our Portillo’s Italian beefs, Nana’s (streamwood) hot dogs/pizza puffs & BEST Fries (fresh cut w/ beef fat in the fryer), Rosati’s thin crust & Elfaro’s giant burrito 😋
Pizza - Lou Malnatis, Bella Bacinos, Giordanos, Home Run Inn
Italian Beef - Portillos
Wings - Tim OTooles
Bar Food - Dublin's
Fried Shrimp - Lawrence's, Goose Island
Sushi - South Coast, Kohan, Kamahachi
Breakfast - Tempos, Yolk, Valois

Spot on. Love the list
Al’s Italian beef is better imo and how can you leave out rainbow cone?!
Goose Island, OMG
Johnnies Beef just south of Ohare on North Ave...a great way to say goodbye to the city...the greatest part is when you are in the 3 hour layover in Denver to get back home you smell your hands and still smell the beef...Best Beef by Far
UNOS IS THE BEST DEEP DISH IN CHICAGO! the crust is buttery and the sauce is so flavorful! the place is a historical landmine and it’s very home-y
Due's is across the street, if Uno's is crowded.
Best Italian food: Freddy’s in Cicero, a corner mom and pop place, THE BEST!!!
Best Italian beef: Johnnie’s Beef in Elmwood Park....a MUST try
On it! Thank you!
I think it's spelled Johnnel's? But yes the place is always packed with those who know food Italian Beef.
timmmahhhh Sorry, it’s Johnnie’s. Have you been there? Absolutely the best.
@@booklover555 you are correct ma'am, pardon my selective memory! It's been a while and Flips near me is Soo good I'll have to make the trip out there to compare.
Is Johnnies also the same place well known for its Italian ice?
Gene & Jude's, Maxwell Street, El Milagro tortillas, Palermo Bakery, Jay's Beef, Mr. T's Gyros
Love Jay's beef
I live in Maryland and I Miss El Milagro! 😭 Chicago has some of the best food.
Jay’s beef, wet, with a polish inside. That’s some good eatin’
El Milagro!!!!
Josue Acevedo gyro
Lived in Indianapolis (and from) for the past 28 years, first time going to Chicago and found this video. THANK YOU! and your energy in the video...great job.
X market is THE BEST place in Chicago , It's basically a food court so there is something for everyone and every place is good . I almost always go there everyday !
Don’t forget Harold’s chicken!
Fond memories of sitting in my car eating a 3 piece out in front of the place on 35th. Really fresh tasting chicken.
I'm going with Uncle Remus lol
87th jas the best mild sauce
@@nbatimeout7354 soooo westside...you know Harold's is better. UR's sauce is tooo sweet 4 me
@@Djwizjeepjams you have to go to the right Harolds to tho. Uncle Remus either location was good lol.
Middle Eastern food in Chicago is amazing and you forgot to mention Chinatown and all the good places there.
noon O kabab is my fav!!!
There’s a Yemeni restaurant on the north side that’s just like being back in Sana’a!
What kind of places would you recommend?
Chinatown has lots of rats
Where is it at, near Devon Ave?
The best Thai ever is Noodles in the Pot in Lincoln Park! Their spring rolls have avocado and cream cheese and the plum sauce is the best. The pad see ew, medium spicy is one of a kind. SO GOOOOD!
Really loved your video, definitely gonna try all of them next week !!! so excited about chicago's food !!! Thank you.
Beef and cheddar croissant from portillos. With the cheese fries and the cake shake
I am from Mexico and I don’t know the States very well, but so far, Chicago is my favorite place to eat. You can’t go wrong there. Actually, I have been to all places you mention in the video, they are fenomenal. Eataly it’s a great place to eat downtown if you like Italian food, and it’s close to UNO pizzeria, where you can also have great deep dish pizza. Greetings from Acapulco.
I'm here in Chicago and our food is da best!!👍
Heaven on Seven!!! Great Creole restaurant with New Orleans Flare! Right in the heart of the city.
Glad you mentioned the breweries! Revolution Eugene Porter is one of my favorite beers!
Have the cake shake at Portillos
chicago truly has some of the best mexican food from my experience. other states don’t have it as authentic.
California?….. Its unmatched
@@carsonwood9725 Mexico is even better
@@ivanandrade1375 I know my bad I should’ve rephrased, “California has the best in the States”
Rick Bayless, nuff said.
We have da best meats!!! Midwest!!
i always go see my grandma up there and still watch these so i know whats good
Appreciate you for coming to my beautiful city, much love, hope you liked the food!
Italian beef & sausage combo is a must! And what about Harold's Chicken?
Ann Sathers for swedish food! They give you a plate of their amazing cinnamon rolls as soon as you sit down, and forget the deep dish tourist pizza, you need to get a thin crust or pan pizza at Pequod’s Pizzeria!
Public House Chicago is the BOMB!!! They have a milkshake decorated dippin dots and topped with a piece of cake that is to die for. Also their handcut French fries are incomparable to anything I've ever had. I love this city. One of my favorite places I've traveled to
Thanks 🙏 for the advice plan on going to Chicago really soon . I subscribed and have you guys a thumbs up 👍 looking forward to the next great video
Molly’s Cupcakes and Del Seoul in Lincoln Park and Furious Spoon, Irazu in Wicker Park are some of my favorites
All are awesome picks! Although for ramen you should really try Kizuki, Strings, or Wasabi. These are head and shoulders above Furious Spoon, which is still a good place! Also, the absolute best is the Japanese import known as Ramen Misoya. They're originally from Japan and in my humble opinion, is the best ramen place, hands down.
My fav restaurant here in the Windy City is Hugo’s Frog Bar. It’s a seafood/steak restaurant. I recommend the filet mignon sliders. There is about 2 3oz sliders PERFECTLY seasoned and with a side of hot, crispy fries. Sounds generic but AMAZING!
Gibsons 👍👍
Gene and Georgetti's. Also Carmichael's in the West Loop.
I love Italian beef, especially at Wrigley Field, thanks for sharing 💛
Thank you for your insights...will be in Chicago in a few weeks.
Chicago has an amazing vegetarian restaurant called "The Chicago DIner" - I've done a lot of travelling and trying veggie restaurants all over, and they're one of the best.
I could not agree more! Even if you are not a vegetarian/vegan, you will absolutely find something to eat and you will love it. When I am back home (I moved away years ago, and I miss it!), I will definitely check out the Logan Square location.
Blind Faith Cafe in Evanston
Chicago dog - Mark, you forgot the *_celery salt_* which to me is the secret. I skip the sport peppers but I gotta have celery salt. 👍
100% agree on the celery salt...and isn't that a crazy little thing? Same with the bun...it's GOT to be the little seeded one, not a 'regular' one.
Yep hands down the celery salt makes it. Just make sure the VENDOR remembers!
What's up bro. Go heels!
Jimmy's red hots on Pulaski and grand
Best polish and hotdogs around
y-you skip the sport peppers?
suddenly i understand that urge the Medievals had to burn heretics at the stake...
Goose Island shrimp is to die for!🤤🍤 & while you're in Portillo's you need to get the chocolate cake or the chocolate cake milkshake!🤤
As for Mexican food, El Catedral Café & Restaurant, La Quinta de Los Reyes, Mi Tierra, La Casa de Samuel & El Indio Cocina Mexicana are great restaurants. Even though they will all serve Mexican food, you will have different dining experience & favorite dishes in each. There's more but you get the picture.🇲🇽
Great job ! Maxwells polish dog is a must too! Home runn inn pizza and als beef are top 3 in my book !!!
Home Run Inn slept on best thin crust in Chicago
So let me add...
Are you Vegan? Soul Veg on 75th. Majani 71st and Exchange
Best breakfast spots: 5 loaves...Batter and Berries...Sweet Maple
Best Baker: Brown Sugar Bakery...best caramel cake
Best BBQ: Uncle Johns, Lems...
Harold's on 87th and the Dan Ryan...get a 6 wing with mild sauce...mild sauce is a Chicago thing...not all sauces taste the same...but most r good...
Hyde Park (this is not a suburb) has great food...you have your choice...
Best Mexican...Little Village has numerous placessss...
China town...cool places to eat...if it dont smell good and it is not crowded...don't eat there.
Oak Park (west suburb, I call it the Hyde Park of the westside) but good food.
Most of these places are southside, in real communities...be reminded that Chicago is diverse as a city...but segregated by the people...due to the history. Do freak out....we have some rough areas...but none of these places are in real rough areas... Be cool...Lyft and Urbers will take u to any of these places. The further south you go, you will find great places to eat in the burbs
...Orland is good....Rosemont (North suburb)! Enjoy!!!
I’m sorry, I’m not going to any of them ghetto ass spots.
Love this list
@@johnnada5754 stfu
Thank you so much for this list !!! Can't wait to visit Chicago with my wife , we did Philadelphia, New York , Boston , and our next will be Chicago. Can't wait !
*I think my next trip will be to Chicago - just for the food!*
Crypto Messenger welcome we would be more than welcome to have you hear in Chicago !! Got any questions just ask here in the comments
Juan Urbano is there a lot to do in regards to sight seeing? I want to stay entertained, other than the yummy food.
Coco The Bear I would check out the museums if ur in downtown Chicago: my favorite is the Shedd Aquarium but you shouldn’t miss the Field Museum, the Art Institute, or the Museum of Science and Industry
I would also visit Chicago for the food. Is there any good Portuguese food out there?
@@ericd1022 don't forget the adler planetarium
Only spent a few days in Chicago, and on a business trip, so I didn’t get to adventure much. But, there was a bakery / donut place I believe called Firecakes that I made the walk to every evening because they were delicious!
Tony's on South Pulaski north of 71st for GREAT Italian beef. Nick and Vinces on South Pulaski near 85th for thin crust pizza!
Locals trash Giordano's and call it "tourist pizza". Portillos also falls into the "touristy" category to me as well, but both are TERRIFIC... If somebody discourages you from going to either, don't listen to them. Go, they are both excellent. Everybody has their favorite local joint. My advice is start start with those 2 and use those as a base to determine what other places you prefer. I've had all the popular pizza joints, pizzeria due, pizanos, Lou Malnatis... They're all fine and different in their own way. ENJOY!
I've never tried Portillo's in Chicago but i haven't been impressed by the Indianapolis-based franchises. I've heard some native Chicagoans say the franchises aren't as good.
I was a tourist Giordanos was SO good. I was only the two days so I only had giordanos.
I am born & raised and eat Lou’s and Portillos...those that say otherwise are running their mouth for the sake of being a snob
Lou malnatis is trash same with Gino’s east
Portillos is not bad at all... the quality is very consistent and the bread (the secret ingredient) is right.
Just say"hot, sweet and wet it"!
Go to the Puerto Rican neighborhood and try a “Jibarito”. It’s a sandwich that substitutes the bread with deep fried plantains and is so good.
I'm Mexican and jibaritos are da best!
Good list. I even agree with the micro-beers and I don't drink! One glaring omission: the Maxwell Street polish sausage. Steamed buns, grilled polish sausage, mustard, and as many grilled onions and peppers as you wish. The last two original stands are located one block east of Roosevelt and Halsted next to the Dan Ryan Expressway. Plenty of franchisees in the city and suburbs, but not all of them are quality.
Don't forget the custom mac n' cheese at Kuma's Corner.
GOOD mac n" cheese + your pick of a dozen strange and wonderful ingredients makes a comfort food to die for.
Breaded steak sandwich from Ricobene’s!!
OMG! Yes!!
Hell . yesssss
Facts
YES! Get the KING w/ sweet peppers,
Hot jardinera, mozzarella & extra red sauce. You'll thank me later!
Great list, but I would personally carve out a place for Ricobene’s and their steak sandwich on the list. Soooo good!!
I will make a pilgrimage there on my next stop in Chicago. Thanks for the recommendation!
RATED The original location is still open and won’t be closing any time soon. It’s always busy and has great ratings.
Yes, breaded steak with red sauce! Hard to find, but my most favorite Chicago food. First had it at the Ricobene’s location on South Cicero (near Burbank). Found it later at a place in Hodgkins, but can't find where that was anymore (left in 1997). The old suburbs did have some great traditional Chicago food.
312vandal they only need one location that ones the best!!!
Richard Walker I miss the ricobene’s near me :(
Chicago gang where you at!!
#1.Wing and gizzard combo with mild sauce and salt and pepper from Harold's Chicken. #2.Fish Wish sandwich from Docks Fish.
This dude is alright in my book. Portillo's!
Portillo's brings us all together :)
So many Chicagoans in Arizona. We have Portillo here now!
@@woltersworld Portillo's is good but a bit pricey. Any shop offering Vienna Beef dogs are good. The smaller the cheaper. Portillo's does have beer at some locations. Most small shops do not.
The Vienna Beef plant on the north side also has an outlet store where you can buy the dogs and beef in bulk and take it home. Great place to stop on the way out to O'Hare. Another great place with an outlet store on the NW side is Eli's Cheesecake.
@@Chrisb8s I know! I go oit to Mesa every March for Spring Training! It's like Chicago west!
@@Chrisb8s
We have two Portillos here in Tampa and it's a lot of people from the Chicago area here also. I'm from the southside of Chicago.
I am actually obsessed with Portillos. Respect, my guy!!
Oven Grinders is my favorite downtown. Awesome Mediterranean bread and great “pizza”... cash only and wait time is insane though, so be prepared!
Novi's beef on Ogden in Berwyn is awesome too!!
Yep, I live right by there👍
Giordano’s stuffed is my fav,
Ricobene’s breaded steak sandwich, awesome!
For a great burrito Raymond’s
For delicious tacos ,El Milagro
El milagro yass
Loved your video! Been to Chicago 4 times already and it's a great city! I agreed with everything you mentioned, though I haven't tried the beers yet. I would add the Rainbow Cone at Navy Pier! Ice cream at it's best!! Soooo good!
I completely agree with this!
Uncle remus fried chicken with mild sauce. Awww heaven
Love Uncle Remus and the mild sauce!!
Uncle Remus is beating Harold's now unfortunately
Great list! I once worked in an office that always had a tin of Garrett popcorn that people brought back from business trips. Delicious.
Thanks for your tips. Chicago hot dog and Deep Pan has been tried. Both were a success. NB: A medium size Deep Pan is more than enough for 2 adults and two young teenagers.
The best , and only place I ate on my first trip to Chicago was Lukes Pasta Bowl near Willis Tower. This place has it all, Great pizza, Italian beef, hot dogs, you name it ! Its very affordable too.
Big fan of Luke's. It was around the corner from my office and I hit it about once a week.
OMG, having a Chicago style dog was literally a life-altering experience.
Hopefully it was Superdawg or Gene n Judes.
Is the chicago dog spicy?
@@karenromero5135 the peppers have a little bite but not spicy
Midway Airport has Nuts on Clark which also have amazing popcorn. They are located at the beginning of Terminal B.
GoldenBoy Garrett’s is better
Im a local...very good video & you cannot go wrong with his recommendations. But travel outside the loop and get tavern-style pizza too. NOTHING like deep dish.
Portillos is unbelievable coming from a Chicagoan. the chocolate cake shakes r one the best things I have ever tasted and not only the dogs but the double bacon cheeseburger and fries🤤🤤🤤
Visitors should go to Ricobene’s and get the world famous Breaded Steak sandwich.
Too many restaurants to name
I'm from a city an hour north of Los Angeles. Chicago has my favorite food scene in the country! Though I haven't been to New Orleans. Chicago's food scene is distinctive, with regional food. Something that almost everywhere in America lacks.
My favorite is that classic Chicago deep dish pizza. There are so many good places to go for it. While I prefer Loui Malnati's; Giordano's, Pizzeria Uno, Geno's East are so good too. But the truth is, some of the best Chicago style pizzas are found in mom and pops places, that don't get advertised. Also in suburban Chicago, a large chain called Nancy's can compete with any of the most popular chains in Chicago.
For roasted beef, Al's has actually been rated better than Portillo's a few times. I prefer Al's. But either way; its great at both places baby! I'm not into the Chicago style hot dog. But Chicago has some of the best Puerto Rican and Cuban restaurants in the country. And very underrated hamburger and barbecue scene. They also have a very diverse and good beer scene, for those interested.
Research where to go before arriving, you won't be disappointed. Then the city itself has so much to offer.
Kahlil Sykies ever been to Houston?
@@cesarvazquez8504 No. The closest I've been to Houston is McAllen or Brownsville. I've about the barbecue in Houston.
We have a very diverse food atmosphere here as well. You do have to go across the city as everything is spread out but it is worth it. Great barbecue and cafeteria style dinners.
That’s crazy you mention Nancy’s. I just got my haircut next door to a Nancy’s and they don’t mess around. I’ve only had it a few times but it’s been great every time
@@eefeeman Yeah they've got great pizza. Many restaurants. They're actually older than the other larger pizza chains. Except for maybe Geno's. But they don't get any attention.
Harold's Chicken and Portillos done changed my life when I visited up there.
@arie I call Harolds-
CWA Chicken With Attitude. You didn't get insulted, like that hot dog joint. But left saying- if this chicken wasn't so dam good....
😩🤣💯 we appreciate your love for our food.
Love all of These
There are other Chicago foods that even Chicagoans don't know about because they are scared of the south and westside parts of town.
Things like mild sauce, rib tips, turkey tips and a good steak and lemonade are chicago staples
You are right. Top Notch in Beverly 95th St, Turkey Tips on 79th St. and plenty more.
I want eating food to kill me, not to get killed trying to eat food.
@@JohnDoe-fo3fn i go to those parts of town all the time and i am still alive. Either way we will all die of something eventually.
Wonderful! 💗 Like and support from London! 😉
Thank you!
Good list! For locals most of the time we’re gonna go with a tavern style pizza (thin crust square cut) but man does a deep dish really hit the spot sometimes! Just way too big to eat on a regular basis though
Lucas W. Thin crust needs to stay out of Chicago
Having grown up in Chicago and going back several times a year and eating for 64 years
1: Never eat a dipped (wet is an East coast thing) Italian Beef with a fork, learn the beef haunch.
2: If you're over 5 years old don't put ketchup on a hotdog, you're likely going to be laughed at.
3: Portillos is fine but try any number of independent family owned beef, pizza hotdog joints scattered all over the city and don't forget to try a maxwell street polish.
What's the pierogi like? As Chicago has the largest Polish population outside of Poland I can imagine there's some great spots for the stuff
Your missing out , dude look up the "Pierogi fest" in Whiting Indiana (litterally 2miles from Chicago) its a must need 👌
I really like SMAK-TAK! In Jefferson Park
Buona’s have the best Italian beef sandwich in Chicago hands down💯
Stop you must be slow
Never ate there pass it constantly imma check em out
Chicago is the greatest city on Earth for food. No city compares.
Chicago pizza and oven grinder company. Pizza pot pie, its a must
Ryan Abraham sublime! I still have dreams over the Mediterranean Bread & salads too!
Don't leave Chicago without having Walker Brothers there is nothing better than their specialty pancakes
Polish Maxwell st, Gyro Greek town, Chinese,
Well said! It is key to eat the italian beef soaked!
Just realized, that was shot in 1 take....your very talented my man.
You lacking hard on the Mexican food.
lilbig Dawg
90 Mile for Cuban food
Zacatacos On 71st street is the best in the city
@@Al-eh7zt Zacatacos is great!
lilbig Dawg Man... the Mexican is like none other! Miss that so much 😢
I'm from a city an hour north of Los Angeles. The Mexican food scene in Chicago isn't great, in terms of quality. There are also a lot of good Puerto Rican and Cuban restaurants in Chicago. Mexican food doesn't stand out there.
Mollys Cupcakes in Lincoln Park is amazing!
Ariel H pizza 🍕 & oven grinder
Try fire cake....Donuts are better than cupcake
If you're into fried chicken or fish, try Harold's Chicken Shacks. They have several locations around the city and suburbs, mostly on the south side. They do, however, have locations downtown, by the United Center (my personal favorite), Wicker Park, and Evanston. Harold's specializes in juicy and tender fried chicken (and fish) baskets with fries, two pieces of white bread, and your choice of sauce (optional). Their prices are pretty reasonable and the portions are quite large. But do expect a 15 to 30 minute wait for your order, especially if they're busy, as they cook the chicken to order (so it's fresh)
Two of my other favorite places are The Pasta Bowl in Lincoln Park, and another just off Michigan Avenue on the corner of Huron & St. Clair is my newest discovery, Ramen-San. Apparently Ramen-San also has another location in River North that I have never been to.
You mentioned Greektown - Greek Islands restaurant all the way!
The top 3 is no doubt, but you should of mention they Ribs Tips, Fries & Hot Links😩😩
So True!! 💯
Italian Fiesta & Harold's Chicken. #NuffSaid
I remember when Italian Fiesta first opened on 47th. It used to be the shit. Now... Italian Fiesta is fucking horrible
@@johnnada5754 shiiiit the one in south holland still slammington
Italian fiesta and beggars pizza 💯💯🔥
Thank you and best regards from germany!
I'm from the suburbs in cook and there is a really good place out there called aristans. They have great milkshakes, fries, and gyros
Gino's East deep dish is my preferred suggestion
RicoTellEm UNOs is better
Unos & Lou Malnati’s is a tie for 1st to me!
The Chicago Dog must have the 'light' green relish.
My family calls it the "neon green" relish! Born and raised in the Chicagoland area
Now that you have explored deep dish you need to try the other Chicago Style Pizza, pub style. Pub style is a thin crust, but not cracker style thin, cut into squares rather than pie slices. great options are Candlite on Western Ave in the Rogers park Neighborhood, Vito and Nick's at 84th and Pulaski, Aurelio's (various locations), Marie's at 4129 Lawrence Ave, Home Run Inn on south Western Ave, Piece on North Ave, and Home Slice. This is the Chicago neighborhood pizza that you got at your local pizzaria or tavern in your neighborhood and is the style that most people who grew up in and around Chicago ate most often.
Nw Indiana loves Chicago style food , we know what it is💗
I'm so glad you mentioned the walnut room! It's such a gorgeous restaurant. Anyone who wants an extremely unique once in a lifetime experience reserve a table at Alinea.
If you want to try Alinea you may have to plan your whole trip around it. I tried to book a table a month before my trip and they were already all booked out. It looks incredible and I’m definitely going to do it one day, but be on the ball if you want a table.
Alinea takes months to get into tho.
I’ve lived in Chicago most of my life and I didn’t realize these foods were just in Chicago. I thought it was a norm across the country 😂😂
Same
No way our food is da best
As I'm watching this my mouth is watering
Chicago handshake! (Old Style and a shot of Malort lol)
Any Nicky's. Preferably near 35th and Archer or Garfield Ridge
