Shake shack is southern Illinois style burgers which is ironic. Guy was from St. Louis and traveling through southern Illinois came upon it

So surprised to hear you studied in Italy. I’ve frequently been intrigued about your background, palette and knowledge of food, but tried to understand your need for security and privacy. Non the less, to the degree possible, it would be insightful and educational to hear about your background. R.

I was holding my breath for an Alina review. Did you know GaiJin means Foreigner and usually meant to be derogatory. Lol. Also is it a reach to have a crooked sculpture to frame Chicago (AL Capone). Overall, I enjoyed this video!
@Jamesnu2 жыл бұрын
Thank you! Yeah, I wish that I was able to go to Alinea. Someday, when I have more money or am at least lucky enough to get a reservation, I'll eat there. Yeah, I've heard that gaijin means that. The chef isn't Japanese, but I still don't think it was the best idea to call his restaurant that. At least the food was good.

I forget Boeing and the west loop start at the river. I think of it as more west of 90/94. Gaijan is my favorite restaurant in west loop cause it’s the only place I’ve found proper okonomiyaki.

Gotta ask this: Where do YOU find yourself on the great Pizza Debate? Would love your comparisons/thoughts, of course! BTW, have you and/or your parents dined at Alinea?
@Jamesnu5 ай бұрын
I would say New York has the best pizza, but I don't particularly care too much, I really like variety and I'm not a stickler when it comes to the matter. No, I haven't been to Alinea yet, but I'm planning to visit.

so nothing but coffee in the west loop?
@Jamesnu Жыл бұрын
There's definitely a lot great coffee shops in the neighborhood, but the West Loop probably has the best restaurants in Chicago. The problem is that most of them aren't open for lunch, which really limited the spots I could showcase for this video.
