$5 vs. $130 MICHELIN Eats | 18 Hours Eating ONLY Michelin Food in Chicago

[@MentalMickey999]

You know the food is good when Mike nods and shakes his head during the same mouthful 😀😀😀

[@yssaschannel]

Next time you’re in Illinois please check out kaido sushi in Arlington Heights! 💕

[@orye09]

Mike got hit with the “how’s everything so far?” Immediately after the bite 😂

[@lencoat]

next time you're in the area i'd definitely recommend carnitas from don alfredo in melrose park !

[@JohnDoe-kk9vu]

Born and raised in Chicago don't go to portillos for beef. Al's, jonnies, Scatchell's, Tony's, and Novi's all better than portillos and that's just off the top of my head.

[@Misbehave11]

Completely agree

[@Gman21-g2v]

Been in the area for a few years and definitely agree with that statement. If you go to Portillos, just stick with the burgers, dogs, and fries can't go wrong there.

[@Estenberg]

I am an Al's on Taylor Street guy myself.

[@imabeastmothafcka]

Gotta try dunking the portillo’s hot dogs and beef in the melted cheese cups!!!

[@Estenberg]

When I lived in Los Angeles I got Birria as often as I could, which seemed to be made on Fridays. No matter how big or small the eatery was, they Always made their Birria in the traditional way: they dug an earth-pit, filled it with burning charcoal, laid down a layer of three or so banana leaves, nestled the whole cleaned goat down into it, laid a few more banana leaves on top, then covered the whole thing in more burning charcoal, and finally buried it all in earth. Then it roasted for almost a day. And Every Birria I ever had that was made this way was juicy, sticky & delicious. Then on Saturday morning my family went to Dim Sum in the 626, and on Sunday, it was all about Menudo. As an Angelino, you live a Mexican, Chinese, & Korean culinary life.

[@schroederguy]

I feel like its been awhile since youve done some cheap eats in america. Glad to see it! Thanks for the vid!

[@amarisjones5002]

You should try hot and sweet peppers on the Italian beef next time. 👀

[@jennymia3633]

The bun Bo hue dish might actually be bun rieu and it looks amazing

[@willycheesesteak30]

You can just see the progression here. This one is jooshy and 10/10 must try. this one is more joosh and tender, must try. OMG you must try this tender jooshy beef

HauSous is legendary. Incredible food.

[@JAF30]

Speaking of Popeye's they came out with a Golden Chicken sandwich and a blackened chicken sandwich. And there is a version some of the sandwiches that comes with cheese and bacon.

[@SmallGuy845]

How do you taste wok hei when the dishes you showed weren't even cooked in a wok?

[@joelsmith552]

Steel or cast iron will give you 'wok hei' if it's hot enough and nicely seasoned.

[@EricTheKei]

Next time you hit the New Orleans area: Try the roast beef po-boy at Short Stop Poboys out in Metairie :)

[@Estenberg]

I've Had it. Yum. But a Nola Po-Boy is a different animal than a Chicago Italian Beef. Just like Chicago Fried Chicken ain't New Orleans fried chicken - not even by a stretch.

[@erickpalma7259]

If you get a chance to go back to portillos, you gotta try the cheese sauce as a side and dip with fries and pour onto each bite of the dipped beef , also try both sweet and spicy peppers on ur beef . And chocolate cake shake with a straw to drink it out of , no spoon . Cheers Mike

[@joses52]

You should try big beef combo. It's italian sandwich with italian sausage. Don't forget to pour some cheese on it

[@patticakes974]

Hey Mike, I am from New York and my boyfriend is from Illinois. We got this constant competition going on about the different iconic foods in both States. I of course think N.Y. Franks and pizza are the best. He of course thinks Illinois has the best. You’re sorta kind of a tie breaker, because you live in N.Y. but travel off and on to Illinois. Aww come on I can’t believe you like the Chicago dogs the best! 😳😂 The Franks( or dirty water dogs) with the red onions and mustard are the tastiest!

In-N-out fries deserve some respect. They are the only fast food fries that taste like potatoes. Yeah, they're single fried so not as crispy. You can always ask for them well done.
