Not gonna lie, Anna Sather's cinnamon rolls have to be sprinkled with crack. They're the best sweet thing to eat in Chicago. It's easily the best cinnamon rolls you'll eat anywhere.

That’s gotta be the most Chicago thing I have ever heard. A van was passing by and a goat fell off and walked through the front door 🤣

I am Canadian and Chicago is my all-time favourite US city so far.

I thank God I was born in Chicago . everytime I go out of state and eat other food it make me realize how blessed I really am to have the food we do in Chicago. The Best!!!

I went to Chicago for the first time 2 years ago. I loved every thing I ate. I went to Portillo's. Their chocolate cake was amazing. Their chocolate cake shake was heavenly. I wish that I lived closer to Chicago. I live in Kentucky.

Shout out from Chicago-born expat now living in Seoul! After viewing this video, I realized I could have just flown into Chicago, put myself into a food-induced hibernation coma, and skipped the year 2020 altogether! Well, now I have something to look forward in 2021. I Hope these establishments are still getting much love from the surrounding communities to make it through this pandemic. Stay strong, Chicago, "City of the Big Shoulders"!

This host is A LOT better than the others. I like her

We live in down state Illinois & when we make the trip to Chitown we hit up Portillo's! The Beef & Sausage is amazing! & You've not lived till you've had a cake shake.

[just_lex]

I literally live there and I’ve only had 2 of these: Portillo’s and Garrett popcorn. I like Portillo’s but Garrett’s always has such a long line!!

[petersalazar]

I'm so glad I live 20 minutes from Chicago my whole life York, new Orleans, San Fransisco, texas, la, y'all etc y'all got like 1-2 dishes that are BOMB I can't lie but Chicago got everything Italian beefs, think crust and deep dish, pizza, burgers, fried chicken, cheese fries, tacos etc

[tbsquire]

She like "I don't really like sweet and savoury". Proceeds to dip a fry in a cake shake

[ethansucksatcuphead]

the billy goat is legit, whenever my family goes to a blackhawks game we go extra early so we can eat there

[j.c.]

Garretts.. well that, s just some Chicago lovin

[Danny]

So happy you did this because i am a chicago native, but where is Jone's BBQ and foot message?

[katherinebrown]

I live in Illinois. I pay the extremely high taxes because the cake shake cannot be mimicked elsewhere in the USA lol

[YourFriend_Ben]

This is the first time I've seen subtitles used to switch back and forth from one audience to the other, smart and great implementation!

[optionrush]

Jibaritos y mas def gets my Puerto Rican seal of approval, a lot of places here aren’t as good at the Latin side of Caribbean cuisine and I can tell you Jibaritos y mas is amazing

[scenicdepictionsofchicagolife]

I feel like this list could've been 5x longer but I understand the need to keep it abridged

[shakenamariewilliams]
