We’ve been having to travel to Chicago for our sons doctors appointments and this was a perfectly timed video, we went to Lawrence fish market yesterday because of your video, and the sushi was AMAZING, it absolutely tasted super fresh and was better than I’ve ever had in the QC. Thank you for the great suggestion!

Yeah, Chicago!! I’m from just south of there. When you come visit, I know there will be great places that never knew. Thanks for casting such good light on us, Chicagoians are salt of the earth people and will do anything for a neighbor, or a stranger. Happy, and safe travels to you and your wife. Hope your folks are doing well, as well as your wife’s family 🙂

Nini’s deli has had a couple of scandals if I’m not mistaken cuz I’ve seen them on the news a few years back. I wonder if it still has the same owners who said mask mandates are unconstitutional and ungodly.

What Mikey said about cheap food resonates with me so hard as somebody growing up frugal and is now a struggling college studentt.

Good food is just 100x better when you know you got it at a bargain price.

Drove an hour to bakery crescent for my birthday a few days ago and I gotta say the drive was absolutely worth it! The yakisoba bun was something to die for! And the lady working was such a sweet heart ❤️ thinking about going back real soon! Thanks for sharing mike!

Couldn't help but notice the blur on the jacket...Looks like patagonia? 🤣

Edit: a frame got missed for blurring at 9:54

Hey Mikey, it looks like the video for Nini's got cut which is understandable, but the audio got missed! Just a heads up that you're probably aware of, but just in case! Hopefully this can help for other people like me who were confused about the out of sync audio as well.

[mkvalkyrie]

Just an FYI, don't give Nini's Deli your business, a simple google search will show just how terrible they are.

Hi Mike, this is a PSA about Nini's Cafe. Although the food is good, Nini's cafe was closed in 2020 due to the owner, Juan, the person you mentioned, making racist and homophobic remarks and doubling down when people called him out for it. You can find articles about it just by googling the restaurant's name. I understand that you probably didn't know about this, but I think it's important for the audience to know whether they want to support an establishment like this.

[jayfitmob]

Definitely make the cheap eats a series on your channel. I love finding excellent food at a low price, seems exceedingly hard in the states anymore, but I know they're out there.

[hitallerents]

Heard Nina’s deli got canceled for some homophobic or racist remarks im not sure, haven’t heard from them in a while

[JKiting]

Boba Burger is one of my favorite places to eat! Can’t go wrong with anything in their menu! My favorite is the lechon burger with some Thai tea. Their jalapeño poppers are also so good like you said!!

[BigAshy]

how does homeboy eat over 50 pieces of sushi and then immediately get 2 burgers. I aspire to be like Mike! Keep up the great content brotha !

[Fvd]

Mike ur a trooper, ur an inspiration and you eat food anywhere and even record like you don’t care your truly a good guy

[hihellokitty]

Don't expect real white tuna (Albacore) at that price, it's most likely Escolar.

[Enerdhil]

Mikey says, "Banana milk, I don't know how they milk them, but they're delicious."🤣😆😂😆🤣

[dennissiew]

Why does Mikey need to blur out the 'patagonia' logo on the jacket?

[footlonghawk]

Audio was messed up for me which made it hard to watch unfortunately but the food looked amazing

[johnstark]

I used to love Ninis and thought Juan was great, but then he started saying negative stuff all over social media and I haven't been back since. But dang so many other good looking dishes that I don't need to go back

[tbell]

Is anyone else having issues with the audio not sync'd up correctly with the different spots? In the beginning he is talking about an Empanada while we watch him eating sushi!!!
