As a born & raised Chicagoan for over 70 years, I would like to offer kudos on your review of iconic Chicago food places. I've eaten all the foods mentioned and have my own favorites, but you did a wonderful job of identifying many of the foods Chicagoans really enjoy. Your passion for the windy city comes through on your videos, keep up the great job!

I love that you guys mentioned that we chicagoans eat tavern style more often. Every time I go somewhere, people say that deep dish is too think etc. And praise NYC pizza, but I’m like honestly we don’t eat that too often. The tavern thin crust is our favorite. Deep dish is just a comercialized staple to be different and rival NYC.

So glad you called out Tavern style as the "Daily Driver Pizza" of Chicagoans. As a style, it has not gotten the love it deserves. Side note: if you are getting a deep dish/stuffed pizza, combine some genres. Top it with Italian beef and Hot Peppers. It's basically a beef inside of a deep dish. Underrated approach.

As a native Chicagoan, I stumbled upon your videos recently. I am so impressed with your knowledge of the city. You’re a good resource.

As a lifelong Chicagoan. This list is absolutely on point. It's a prefect run down of all the places we love.

As a native of the windy city, You can never go wrong with Chicago Mexican food and the Italian beef. Would definitely love to see a pt. 2!

I wanted to say thank you for all your videos. I'm a Chicagoan, but I'm embarrassed to say I don't know much when it comes to eating out. I don't make much money so I cook more at home. I'm definitely trying out these places in the future! Thanks again!

Hey Luis!!! Just left Chicago yesterday and followed some of your food tips and went to Budlongs and Burger Bar. I absolutely love your city, cant wait to return. Be safe and keep up the amazing work brother 💪❤️

I tried a Chicago style hot dog on my first day in Chicago, and I knew right then that I would never leave.

Best way to eat Italian beef: order it wet with a side salad instead of fries. Eat it directly over the salad. Whatever falls or drips into the salad will make it taste better.

To anyone not from Chicago: he's right about the pizza. I only eat deep dish one to three times a year, mostly when entertaining people from out of town. I've never heard it called tavern pizza, but that is what most of us eat most of the time. It generally has extra sauce, so the cheese slides right off, but you get extra tomato flavor that way, so it's worth it.

You defiantly forgot the Ricobene’s famous Breaded steak sandwich ! Since 1946 . Garrets could be classified as a snack not a event like the others .great video

[davidstraub]

You nailed it, especially with Vito and Nick's. That is the kind of tavern style pie that Chicagoans prefer.

Awesome video. I grew up in Chicago on the south side and you hit the best. Harold chicken is my favorite. I live I Wisconsin now. I drive two hours to get it. Jim’s original is a classic. I have to have both Jim’s and Harolds whenever I am in the chi. Thank you bro.

Great piece. Would love to see part 2. Mother-in-law, Rainbow cone, Italian lemonade, shrimp dejhonge, saganaki, etc. BTW, everyone I know believes that the meat topping of choice on a pizza is always sausage, not pepperoni.

[miked]

You included Vito and Nick's so you're alright in my book.

Slow service, but that's ok gives me more time to demolish a pizza solo.

[jabbawookeez]

lou malnatis and pequods are top teir chicago style.

[HereBeBarr]

I’ll give Chicago the hot dog 🌭 crown 👑

[tjjaros]

Definitely need to hit Gene and Jude’s for a hot dog next time you are in town. Technically not Chicago, but a classic Chicago dog that doesn’t disappoint. Good choices. Great video. Made me hungry.

[andrewpals]

You killed it with this list, all gem spots in the city. No disrespect to anyone but thanks for doing Bryons and not Portillos like so many other videos. Subscribed!

[InvictusEternal]

What a true voice of the city. While we all have our favorites, all the choices were 100% respectable. Videos like this just reinforce my pride in our great city.

[Johnnyrivera-azurdia]

A Chicago style hotdog is by far one of my favorites as a Chicagoan it is so deliciously delicious!
