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 🙂

[@glennquagmire34]

what kinda chicago you living in? the only one i hear about is the violence that happens there.

[@annamccarty911]

@@glennquagmire34 that's in actual Chicago, not the suburbs. thanks to mayor Beetlejuice and our governor Fatzger, they never acknowledge the violence until it happens in a suburb.

[@tamarawhiteurst8727]

@@glennquagmire34 you are hearing the worst, the down right great is never talked about, not just the the suburbs but in the actual city of Chicago. How could a city of millions of people be as terrible as what the news tells you and still be a top tourist destination? Because what you are hearing about are happening in isolated parts of a large city.

[@conorcorrigan3234]

@@annamccarty911 This just isn't true. It's really only a couple very impoverished and isolated areas that you would never just wander into on accident that can be dangerous. Chicago doesn't even crack the top 10 on violent crime rates per capita.

[@jaklg7905]

I agree about Chicago people, especially south side. I grew up in Berwyn and then moved to Omaha. Chicago people are so much nicer and just all around decent people. There are people from all walks of life that live in peace together. Omaha has a whole bunch of low key racism. I never heard anyone say to another "speak English, this is America" until I moved to Omaha.

[@ThePurpIeLlama]

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!

[@DonDracula]

hope your son is doing okay now bud

[@ThePurpIeLlama]

@@DonDracula thank you, he’s getting a lot better! He’s only needing to be on his medication for a couple more months and should be a-okay!

[@DonDracula]

@@ThePurpIeLlama No parent should have to worry about their children's health, glad you at least have to worry a lot less!

[@leeanncornett5246]

Hope all is well ❤

[@53ddddateme]

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.

[@rogerdouglas2306]

btw his jacket brand is patagonia in case anyone is wondering

[@ashvirbolina9156]

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 !

[@kierramitton7947]

this video is exactly what I needed! thank you Mike :)

[@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!!

[@mrgamerwatch100]

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!

[@mrgamerwatch100]

And the egg salad sandwich was wicked good!

[@HeyImFrank]

these food items looked awesome id love to try them out one day

[@isabelargueta8114]

Omg 😱 I love sushi 🍣 and those plates look so beautiful and yummy 😋 I want to try everything

[@tiffany9408]

Love that you go around and visit smaller restaurants in the suburbs! If you're ever in Schaumburg, stop my parent's restaurant, Asian Noodle House! They serve Malaysian food (bak kut teh, curry laksa, nasi lemak, etc) alongside other typical fast casual Chinese/Asian dishes. We can even get you our off the menu items :)

[@lovebirdtmi]

I’m putting your parents’ restaurant on my list!!!

[@Kuhbri]

Love ANH!

[@Chibeagle]

i be coming. Hi Mom and Dad!

[@Kdotwannavee]

I'm from Schaumburg area and I LOVE your parents restaurant!!! One of my fav places to eat growing up tbh.

[@UWthehiu]

Was here twice recently while I was here for a business trip! The Hainan Chicken was delicious!

[@emeralddove5339]

I love all your videos but...Good to see an affordable food video and relatable content Mike 👍

[@shirleysenpai7232]

Me and my family have been coming to Classic bowl ever since we were kids and we’ve always gotten Boba burger when we came! It’s amazing to see you try something that hits so close to home 🥺

[@nathanmoore564]

Soooo excited to see that you came and visited Chicago! I'm from the burbs.

[@zarathos1018]

Lawrence is a hidden gem, and my go-to, really cool to see you found them.

[@ritalamy5866]

Ahhhhhhhh! Sushi and other food! Love it!

[@jayfitmob5945]

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.

[@Fvd99789]

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

[@ovoxobubbles]

Finally !! I've been checking every single day wondering where you were

[@vanessaf7755]

That sushi is soo good omg

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job Mike

[@Tarukai788]

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.

[@asummer9460]

Awesome food shown, love to try those hotdogs..looks interesting, those juiciest burgers too. The sushi is definitely worth the price especially the Nigiri sushi looks so fresh..great point out. But abit cold to eat sushi with the wind...🤣Great eat again Mikey👏👍👍👍

[@d.m.w.m3745]

I love his sponsors he get they are always helpful👌🏻✨ “I’m not good at English”

[@nikip9161]

Delicious food... The background on the last shot was actually nice imo.. 👍🤗🌻

[@hihellokitty85]

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

[@Iamsunkai]

Thank you for finally going to Lawrence Fish Market to enjoy their amazing and well priced sushi and rolls!!

[@jx22283]

It's solid. Nothing great. You go there for the cheap prices but thr last time I went the prices has gone up. It was worth going back then when the pieces were around 60 cents a piece but not any more

[@IC33]

AWESOME 💥🍣

[@nickybanks6366]

Those burgers look AMAZING

[@nordicson2835]

Awesome ... glad you were safe there.

[@ranjones550]

Headed to Lawrence Fish Market tomorrow!😋

The bowling alley food looked too notch 🥰

Doing the Lord’s work!

[@joshpark1116]

Boba Burger, who would've guessed by the location but their food is top quality and service is fantastic 😍

[@dennissiew8248]

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

[@vuongn2318]

It's Mikey. Why does he eat the same 5 things in every video? The world will never know

[@cindyrellaaaaa]

@@vuongn2318 I love this reply

[@vuongn2318]

@wuxiaman more popular eating 5 dishes or eating Chinese food in another country with rich history of foods? How about having bad quality videos or terrible analogies?

[@tbell862]

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!!!

[@Floppa_TAGVR]

Great Job man love it

[@dp1643]

Why is the logo on your jacket blurred out?

[@mkvalkyrie]

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

[@shannonschell482]

That Hawaiian hamburger looked so yummy

[@MsMariano74]

Love it when you visit my 2nd home. Great video as always! Stay safe out there you too!

[@eda.climbs]

Couldn't help but notice the blur on the jacket...Looks like patagonia? 🤣 Edit: a frame got missed for blurring at 9:54

[@migdaliamontes5772]

Hi 👋 big fan love your videos! Love all your videos. Yummmmmm

[@1Pennykins]

Hi Mike, just curious, how come you're blurring the logos on your jacket/shirt?

[@goodmythicalmukbang3757]

He is blurring all that weight gain.

[@natalietran4856]

It’s because this video is sponsored

[@Reyd_01]

Looks like a mild July there, those trees look sickly too 😆

The Closed Captions are correct it looks like so you can watch it with those, muted or otherwise and get the right info!

Let’s go Boba Burger!!

[@Retrospec00]

eyyy!! i live in chicago, now i have more spots to try out!

[@mugiwara_lucy2483]

It's so dope seeing you go across the world

[@ashleyvazquez-ronsen3802]

[@chesterlim9110]

Why is Mike blurring out the Patagonia label on his jacket? He usually doesn’t do this.

[@jessicadiaz8500]

He wants that check

[@queenbeemo42]

Those hot dogs looked so good! It’s like they have salads on them. I could hear the texture.

[@SandmanFightingSys]

“Snacky Chen” does it again 🤘🏼

[@sallybrowne98]

“Joosh”

[@JasonICECarson]

Am I seriously the only one who experienced major audio/visual desych? I'm literally watching him eat sushi while he's talking about eating an empanada and then when he's drinking boba tea and eating a fish sandwich, now I'm hearing him talk about the sushi from the previous segment! 😲What's going on here? I'm so confused. 🤔🤨

[@japandarkmaster]

Same lol

[@Aaron-zu3xn]

The audio and video aren't synced @ all lol he put the wrong audio over the wrong video

[@andresgalvez749]

Why did you blur the brand on your jacket ?

[@victoriavo135]

more pastries please!!!

[@seunghwacho8315]

It’s amazing to see Mikey eating sushi with ease! I remember a couple of years back he wouldn’t due to its unfamiliar texture. It’s as if his palette has evolved throughout the years! 👍

[@rajs7876]

Too bad he is supporting Proud Boy bigots at Ninos deli

[@Geegeebaba]

I remember thinking how can you be a foodie and not like sushi! Glad he changed his mind.

[@jimobrien9352]

Helpful tip, the “s” is silent in “Illinois”

[@Enerdhil]

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

[@EddyFusilli]

Exactly LMAO 🤣🤣🤣 I love Mikey 👌🏻

[@Enerdhil]

@@EddyFusilli Sometimes he slides a quick joke that you can miss if you are not paying close attention. I had to stop the video because was laughing and missed the next thing he said.

Peoria?

[@RoboKyPR]

Nothing can make that place cool now, this was funny XD

[@asorianomarquez]

Crescent Bakery's loaf of bread is awesome.....you can choose from their thick or thin sliced options. They may even have one that's uncut but I'm not positive.

[@alaskankare]

all I can do is stare at his shirt because he's never blurred a logo before. 🤣

[@gunnyboyz4tw]

Yeah can someone explain why they blur out logos? Has something to do with not wanting to give those companies free advertisement or something else?

I don't know about the rest of Brazil, but in Rio de Janeiro we love guava and cheese. We have cheesecake, pizza, croissant, ice cream... Guava means goiaba, but there's a sweet made with it called goiabada. Witch melts like a syrup and that is what goes with the cheese in all those recipes. You will find "goiabada com queijo" everywhere here 😆

[@makomako5301]

Cant beat Mitsuwa and premade sushi and also their food court. Also down the street from Mitsuwa is Tensuke Market.
