I like how respectful and nice Mark is to random people jumping in front of the camera to talk. He just let's them say what they want to say then he go's back to business. He's so sweet.💖

I grew up in Chicago. What makes Chicago so great when it comes to their food scene is the fact that there is so many cultures that bring their food to the table. Polish, Greek, Italian, Jewish and Black culture. It's amazing and delicious.

Nothing pleases me more than seeing a person enjoy a Italian Beef sandwich from Chicago for the first time! It's like witnessing your first kiss. Great Chicago series you hit all the staples.

It’s refreshing to see that you guys went far north and Deep South to review the food and didn’t need to add commentary about the neighborhoods. Definitely a true foodie spirit. There is good food all over this city and I am happy to see that you guys revealed that in this video. Bravo

Mark needs to collab with Derek more often; they are a great pair/duo. This has been one of my favorite series.

As a Chicagoan I forgot how blessed we are to enjoy this food. Can’t forget about our deep dish and tavern style pizza. Heck the Mexican food is so good that you take a small trip to Mexican flavor town straight from Windy City. Viva Chicago 🏙️

Folks Chicago has the best food in all the USA hands down. I’ve eaten in all the big cities I PROMISE Chicago has anything and everything you can want. Mark did a great job showing you some iconic Chicago staples and there’s still so much more. Mexican, Puerto Rican, Italian! I can go on for days!! Don’t forget Chicago thin crust tavern style pizza it’s the best!!

I love how Mark's brother in law just happens to be a serious foodie as well. I enjoyed learning his personal connection to and fond memories of each place. I had no idea how diverse and rich the food culture was in Chicago. Adding it to my travel destinations for food bucket list now!

So happy to see you in my hometown Chicago!…What a start, the beef sandwich, the polish, the hot dog, chicken wings and barbecue are all synonymous to what Chicago is all about!….Thank you for highlighting Chicago which is still one of the greatest food cities in the world!….

I traveled all over the world in the NAVY. I tell people all the time. There’s no other place that has better food than Chicago. I’m glad Mark Wiens was able to expose our delicious food and historic culture. Hats off to you bro @markwiens

As a Chicago native and fellow Foodie, Chicago truly is the Ultimate food destination city!
I was blessed as a kid with a dad who loved introducing me to everything Chicago had to offer. As a native Canadian, my dad was totally mesmerized by all the amazing food that Chicago and the surrounding Chicagoland area had to offer.
I have traveled all over the US and nowhere else am I able to find EXACTLY what I'm craving, whenever I'm craving it, than Chicago!
From Chicago-style favorites to international goodies, Chicago has it all!
Pizza (both kinds - and yes, Chicago has TWO kinds!), hot dogs, Italian beef, popcorn, ribs, cinnamon rolls (Ann Sathers), Tamales, and so many other neighborhood favorites!


The one thing people tend to forget with a "Chicago Style" hot dog, it's not just the toppings but it's the Weiner! It HAS to be a Vienna brand all beef, natural casing hot dog...that Snaps when you bite it!

[ericmckinney]

I love Marks enthusiasm. He is like a little kid in a candy store.

[tomklonoski]

As a 40 year resident of the area, I think they chose five excellent places to represent iconic Chicago street food.

[godinezg]

It’s about time someone does Chicago right, .. nothing but OG places ❤ thanks for showing the spots in Chicago

[quirawlins]

Mark has the best food reviews!!! His kindness and respect that he gives to every culture's traditions is amazing.

[jason]

I’m a Chicagoan and we are one of the country’s best food city, thank you Mark for stopping by our Windy City for some amazing food!

Derrick is a great eating partner… a natural

My husband grew up in Chicago, in Hyde Park. He greatly enjoyed this video. He said he never thought of it, but yes an Italian beef (he says not smart to just take the word of a local who orders it dry) should be so soggy it is a challenge to eat, and seeing the soaked french fries everywhere reminded him how much he loved sloppy joes as a kid, and how he thinks it so perverse that some recipes for them give you a sandwich you can pick up and eat with your hands. As for Harold's, he says he and his friends loved not so much the wings and mild sauce, but light and dark meat with hot sauce, very hot and vinegary, and unlike other battered fried chicken, with a lovely thin crust that did not struggle between being gooey, doughy, or like a wet brick. (He says their Harold's was on E 53rd, with a moving neon sign). It greasy and often took a toll the day after, but much like the alcohol splurges that usually brought on the Harold's attack, offered a unique and colorful experience worth the pain. I can easily see how those who relied on Harold's as a staple rather than a thrill would prefer the mild sauce.
