Dude your doing Chicago so well! Doing the spots the locals actually eat and not just the places that the tourists go to!

Exactly

Indeed boss 🫡

[@kevinkuenn5733]

Absolutely. I was introduced to this channel with the Chicago pizza video and when he went to Vito & Nick's, I knew he was a real one.

im waiting for the chinatown episode....

[@JoebsonOSRS]

Mark, this proves again why you are the best food blogger on the Internet. Your attention to detail your research before you visit different cuisine or restaurants is second to none. Thank you for showcasing my beautiful city that I’ve known for 58 years.

[@emilywynstra]

Filming in a van by himself with the door open and a car seat in the back....Mark is continually genuine and never pretentious. This is why we love him!🥰

[@biancaarmstrong1764]

I was thinking the samething lol. I’m like is he gonna close the door and lock it lbs.

[@christianhansen3292]

except he sounds dumb when trying to pronounce Spanish names! lol

[@dougtheviking6503]

He's going to get jacked

[@GilAV-gc8bj]

Nothing to do with whether he’s pretentious or not, more like he’s not being aware of his surroundings. Protect your family. Know where you are. Close and lock the doors.

[@patlafr]

Keep em coming Mark! Show off what Chicago has to provide to the world! People really need to stop hearing or seeing the bad news the media shows and instead focus on what Chicago really has to offer. Beautiful Chicago! 👏

[@bryant07681]

I agree, and Mark is going to the hood too!!

[@rfleming1001]

My hometown brother....preach on 🙏🏿

[@delgadoj8]

Your bro-in-law is the man for putting you on to all the real Chicago favorites, this series is ridiculously awesome thank you guys for this my city should be proud

[@mxmus08]

Loving you & Derek together. Wish he had time to travel with you around the world because the appreciation his has for food and his good natured temperament makes him a top class companion. Keep this series going, Mark.

[@djlos01]

I agree. I wish he and Derek traveled more together. Derek compliments Mark so well. I watch their San Diego VLOG and the Little Miss BBQ in AZ all the time. I need more of it.

[@asaenzjr]

No matter where Mark goes to indulge, he is always respectful and genuine to the people in that area. Keep up the great work Mark!

My husband is Boricua! he was soo happy you tried a puerto rican dish, he recommends you go to Puerto Rico ! you will love it, puerto rican food is delicious! 🇵🇷🇵🇷 glad you loved the jibarito dish .

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you very much, really appreciate it!

[@Jwellan]

Mark is so humble. He has incredible knowledge but when people tell him a fact he almost certainly knows, like what a broiler does, he doesn’t need to let them know he already knew.

Love seeing you and your brother-in-law eat together! And the kids!!

[@kevinaldrich4399]

With all due respect, Mark, your brother-in-law is by far the star of the show. What a fantastic gentleman he needs his own KZbin channel I will subscribe right now.

I loved this Chicago series and I will make sure that I visit most of these places. By the way you and your brother-in-law make such an excellent combination you should do this with him more often

[@lok4058]

😮Nice to see you in Chicago Mark. Since you have the kids along, here’s a couple of iconic ice cream shops you should try: Rainbow Cone, serving since 1926, five flavors of ice cream sliced and layered in a cone, and Margie’s Candy, serving since 1921, for hot fudge sundaes.

[@jayrealz83chicagoninja]

Margie's too

[@therealCamoron]

What I find interesting is that I've lived in Chicago for almost 7 years, most of it near Margie's, but have never wanted to wait in the short line all the times I thought to go. Yet, as a tourist in New York, I waited in line for Katz's Deli for over an hour. The things you take for granted.

[@daniellepreyar]

I'm loving these Chicago videos. Some of these places I've never heard of and would love to give them a try. This city is rich with great food.

[@mango8918]

Mark, you've probably been asked this a thousand times but, how do you stay so thin after eating all of this food? Between you and Sonny, you have the most the most enjoyable food channels on the net. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

It's nice to hear good things about Chicago!

It’s with any city lol The good and the bad

I’m a New Yorker, so I’m used to hearing a lot of trash talk about my city as well, but you all have an AMAZING city there! If I was ever reborn in a different place, I would hope for Chicago lol

WOW Mark! You have hit it on the head when it comes to spots locals actually eat at in Chicago. This whole series is so different from all other Chicago food tours I’ve seen. You are definitely killing it 👍

[@bethabaloo]

With the skill of your editing and your charisma, it astounds me that you're not on network television by now. I hope you always get the reach you want with your content, Mark, you really deserve it.

Here from Chicago. I’ve always watched your videos and liked them. You can tell you’re a genuine food lover and a genuine person overall. No 🧢.

[@atatur123]

Mark, I really appreciate you describing the history behind each dish so well. You're doing a great job carrying on Bourdain's legacy.

[@eev1066]

Lets not go crazy. Bourdain was a poet, an artist. Mark is great, but Bourdain is Bourdain

[@jeanniebrooks]

Bourdain was a vanguard, a travel foodie trailblazer who opened up the whole idea for people like Mark, but Mark is great in his own right. Everywhere he goes, people warm to him, he’s so likable, but in addition, he just does such a great job of researching and finding all the great places and foods that are emblematic of the place he is visiting. The comment section is filled with praise from the locals, and from many who visit there to the restaurants and food trucks/carts/shops he has himself visited. He’s a magnificent travel guide! Bourdain we will always remember, his quick wit, and quirky personality we all love him for- but he had a whole network production crew behind him who scoped out the place, provided him with local contacts and guides, arranged his travel - it was a different world for Tony.

[@monickramos8391]

Mark, I'm puerto rican and have had A Lot of puerto rican food in my life both here and in PR. Jibaritos y Mas is my favorite restaurant. The food only comes second against my abuela's. God rest her soul.

Great job to the Chef that made the steak and visuvio. Reminded me of my kitchen days. Made it look easy.

[@TravelbyDartTV]

This video take 'snacking' to a whole new level! 'Hot dogs' are more like a work of art, 'popcorn' comes in flavors you didn't even know existed, and 'deep-fried everything' is a state of mind (yes, even Twinkies). Makes me really wanna go to Chicago very soon and have a mukbang for a TV show lol.

[@richmargin6082]

As an asian American from chicago, yes, Great Seas is where they invented the lollipop chicken wings. They are super crispy and tasty. Would drive all the way to the north side city to get these

If you want Chicken Vesuvio, you got to go to the Italian Village. It is the oldest/standard place. It's been around since 1927. They did not create it, but they have the oldest recipe dating back to the origins of the dish.

I don't know what are you calling the first plate but that's a Patacon! something really common in Venezuela and Colombia from over a century 🤭 that little story at the beginning of that being invented in the 90s made my whole family laugh LOL! Big hug from Venezuela, i hope you visit us some day.

Wow,really? You learn something everyday! I thought it was an original puerto rican sandwich 🥪

[@gaby10788]

A patacon is a toston. Just different name depending on the country. Very common all along Latin America. This isn’t claiming that the toston/ patacon was invented in Chicago but that the sandwich using the toston was.
