Locals Eat Chicago - Episode 2 | Best Food Classics

[@nickandhelmi]

Among all the food, the smoked fish is the winner for me! And the shrimp too 😍 smoked fish air freshener, just cracked me up LOL

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hahaha Glad we made you laugh!

[@FoodandFootprints]

Saving the best for last! We LOVED Calumet Fisheries

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

That place is ridiculous. We're going again this weekend. LOL

[@FoodandFootprints]

@@KimchiAndBeansVideos Yessss! Think if we lived in Chicago we would go every week. Stock up and like you said, pair it with some rice, then some veggies

[@nickandhelmi]

40 yrs & going strong💪🏻something i learnt is that while in chicago you gotta eat hot dogs hahaa thanks to you guys

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Yes, that you must!

[@nickandhelmi]

Macarthur looks like real good soul food. It looks like weird combo with mixed of everything but ultimate comfort food☺

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

I can't help it. I do the same at work. LOL

[@SightsSpice]

With a line like that you know the tacos are awesome

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Exactly!

[@takeusaway3]

This made me so homesick. Thanks for giving this Chicagoan a taste of home! Much love and appreciation for you two from Japan!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hi!!! So glad to hear that. Hope you guys are doing well over there. We were supposed to go this year. Hopefully soon!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

The last spot is very unique guys! Smoked fish and shrimps, first time seeing something like this. Hahahha smoked fish air refresher, lol you guys are hilarious 😂 You are right, the smoked fish would be good when eaten with rice and a bowl of miso soup, yum!!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

It was very special indeed. We've already gone twice since we filmed this. It's excellent for rice bowls.

[@FoodandFootprints]

The smoker where all the magic happens! Man that salmon steak is incredible! Those smoky flavors are really special

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Maria got me to eat seafood. That should tell people something. Haha

[@geeman215]

A little history... The Fish place, is next to the bridge, the Blues Brothers jumped in their Iconic movie... Calumet Fisheries is 1- of my favorites! First time I tried smoked shrimp 😋 I get both smoked & fried Everytime I go. Across the bridge, on the Lakefront is a beach area, where we go sometimes to enjoy our feast. Lastly(on a sad note). The nicest dude-Carlis Rosa's Manager at Calumet succumbed to Covid in July RIP Carlos🙏🏿

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

That is so sad. We didn't know. :-( We still need to watch the movie, even more so now. Good tip about the beach area. That would be so fun during summer.

[@geeman215]

@@KimchiAndBeansVideos Yeah, you go over the bridge-East on 95th. 95th turns Southward. But You keep going east. You'll run into the park on the Lakefront 95th st beach...

[@jimnaz5267]

you two look soooo happy. and such nice smiles, and teeth. keep up the good life. Nice video

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Thank you Jim 👋

[@nohelym89]

You guys were in my neck of the woods! Calumet Fisheries is an East Side gem, thanks for showing support!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Yes! That place just became one of our favorites. That shrimp is unbelievable.

[@bearsandbutters]

That's wild that Fat Johnny's has been there for 40 years! Makes sense why there would be a long line. That chili dog looked amazing, and can't believe the second one had a tamale on the inside of it! The soul food restaurant looked really amazing too.. we love Soul Food.. one of our favorites, especially collard greens. Those ribs were fall right off the bone, the red beans and rice and the cornbread looked divine!!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

I know! Our collard greens are never that good, no matter how much we try. Hahaha

[@MikkiShihTzu]

MacArthur is a chicago staple for sure! Nothing but good hearty warm the soul food!!!! Good stuff I like that breaded fishes

[@maruchannelusa]

Thank you for making this video! I'm going to chicago end of this month so I needed some local food info👏It helps!I like to go local recommended 😘thank you!!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

So glad we could help! Have fun!!

[@ABitefLife]

Hey guys great episode ! That quesadilla looks cheesy and crunchy! I like fat johnnies I want that dog right there! I love the Chicago style sesame hot dog buns . I want to try that one with the tamale!! Haven’t had fried catfish in awhile. Those ribs Maria got look crazy good! That pizza wow. I don’t think there was one item that you showed the entire vlog that I didn’t want to chow down on! Everything looks great. Some killer spots! 🌟🧡👏

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

hahaha Glad we made you hungry!! Thanks for stopping by!

[@MikkiShihTzu]

Wow never heard of Fat Johnnie's! I am missing out!! Looks incredible hotdogs! Looks like it's been there longer than I was born!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Good stuff!

[@mariaandbryan]

The shrimp and fish nuggets got Lieles looking over my shoulder saying "OOOOO what's that!?"😂😂😂

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hahahaha

[@FoodandFootprints]

You are keeping the old school gems going with Candlelite! First time hearing about them - we only had Vito & Nick’s for thin crust on our Chicago trip

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

I know. This one is so close from us too.

[@mariaandbryan]

"You know why there is no line? because there are no tacos" 😁😁

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Haha 😂

[@TheCityandBeyond]

Played lol

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Oh wow, that pizza looks awesome, love a good meat topped pizza...we’d love Chicago just for the food alone😎💕

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Yes, indeed! So worth the visit just for the food alone :-)

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

daaaamn! smoked shrimps! indeed they don't need anything! i love how they hand all the fish pieces at Calumet!! hahaha Maria: "I can say that!"

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hahaha

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Rubi's tacos looks so popular. Look at the long queue. Love the look of the quesadilla, very humble but delicious at the same time. 😍 Wow, Nabol ate 2 hot dogs! No wonder because it looks so good, that's one of the best looking hot dog we have ever seen.

[@mariaandbryan]

Smokes fish!! That is a great option. Look at all those fish smoking there, wow!

[@Yasin_Affandi]

D smoked seafood at Calumet Fisheries, they must have been scrumptious. I'll be very happy with d shrimps n fries alone. Wonderful picnic in d car.

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Yes! You would like it!

[@bearsandbutters]

That smoked fish on the string totally looked like it could be an ornament or an air freshener for the car (for an enemy) LOLOLOL!! We can imagine on a hot summer day it would really stink it up good! Thanks for taking us along with you and we love you guys to the mother effin' moon.. and always sending positive vibes and love your way :)

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hahaha Yes, you wouldn't want that in your can then! LOL We love you too!!!

[@PeterandYen]

Rubi's looks like an awesome taco spot. The corn fungus taco is interesting. Wow would love to try it 😋 ...o man fried catfish with collard greens and mashed potato 🤤what a spread 🥰 that place looks delicious. Y'all ate so well on this video the pizza 🍕 😭

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Always 😆

[@bearsandbutters]

Hey Maria and Nabol! That's cool that you went for 5 more spots in Chicago for food. All these places you went looked so yummy. That's crazy that the first place had such a huge line and then ran out of tacos!! LOLOL!! Thank god there was some zucchini blossom quesadillas you could try instead. We have never tried those before, but looked really good!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

That zucchini blossom quesadilla was really the bomb too.

[@mariaandbryan]

I always thought Chicago was such a beautiful city, and your images at the beginning are awesome ... Dreaming with going there one day

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Yes! We would love to give you a tour!

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Oh man! Every time I see your b-rolls driving around Chicago it brings me memories of playing Watchdogs! Never been in the city, but I feel like I know it 😂😂

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hahaha That is too funny! Hope we can give you guys the full Watchdogs tour someday 🤣🤣🤣

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

@@KimchiAndBeansVideos 😍😍

[@PuriandSue]

Ahh that's too bad the tacos were sold off. Oh you guys manage to get it! Looks really good, and that darker one look really interestng. Oooof I can have a dozen of that chilli dog!

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Mmmmmm more food 🥘 yum! Taco 🌮 tortilla! MacArthurs looks delicious. Pizza 🍕 l love thin crust pizzas. Look at that stringy mozzarella. Smelly fish 😂 more great food places. Thank you for sharing. 🤗😻😘 hope you are both well.

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Glad you enjoyed it guys!

[@Forkit956]

Oh my god that pizza cheese pull! Meat lover heaven

[@PuriandSue]

You guys have a feast there at MacArthurs, awhh those ribs! You guys have really good pizzas there! Awh that cheese pull, and it's loaded! I like the Kimchi and Beans' mobile studio! you guys are too adorable! Those shrimps look huge, all these smoked shrimps and fish, I'm sure your car smells amazing with all the food!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Glad you like the mobile studio! It's the only place we can eat "outside" these days. Hahaha

[@mariaandbryan]

That pizza looks soooo freaking good, thin and full of toppings 🤤🤤

[@abcwildlife6423]

Wow your energy is congratulations! So glad everything went great for you. Congrats again and have a great week ..Great

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Thank you! You too!

[@bearsandbutters]

Wow.. that Pizza had a lot of meat on it, and so much cheesy goodness! Major cheese pull on that one. It was great that you guys went to the Calumet Fishery for some smoked fish. Nice that it's been there since the 1940s, and you got lucky they showed you the smoker outside. Never had smoked shrimp before, but it looks really good. Too funny that it smelled like bacon LOLOL!!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Those guys were so sweet. It really made the experience so much better.

[@AussieAngeS]

Wow the food looked fantastic at all the places you went to. Those hot dogs were awesome with the toppings on them but the pizza looked amazing 🤩😍🤤

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hi Angie! So glad you enjoyed the food.

[@aoxlkoko6173]

Calumet Fisheries and MacArthur's y'all was eating like Legends

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hahaha Thanks friends. That's some good food.

[@christopherwiley01]

Hello again! Love this video as well! I can't wait to try some of these places some day! Love your channel I can't wait to see it grow!!!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Thank you 🙌🏽

[@Yasin_Affandi]

What an amazing food in d open markets. Delicious tacos, tortillas.

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hi Yasin! It is a very nice market indeed. It's closed now, but hopefully it will open back up once things go back to normal.

[@MervsAdventuresReviews]

That pizza looks so good! Also, I agree with you about eating the fish with a bowl of rice - best & simple combo!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

That's right!

[@AnSEpisodes]

The hot dog looks so tasty, we like spicy hot dog! the MacArthur's is a famous place, remember this one from one of your video I think.

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Yes! We want to create more awareness since it's so good. :-)

[@CynthiaHunterNightwillow]

Love tomato on my hotdog. Haven't tried cucumber and I would probably love it. Collard green are a must if you can get them. Those ribs look fantastic

[@mariaandbryan]

Read beans and rice is what we had yesterday lol, but we didn't have ribs because we are on a diet 🤣🤣🤣

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hahaha That’s funny

[@PuriandSue]

"Yeah that's a smiling Kanye"😂

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hahaha

[@TheCityandBeyond]

Ohhh I know those shrimp must've been really good. That reaction was too genuine Maria. All that seafood looked amazing and more importantly a unique flavor.

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Haha It was so good!

[@RenLuuk]

Kimchi and Beans mobile studio!! Hahaha!!!! Have to say all of those smoked fish were incredible. Your tour around these classic spots are such a great idea. You guys should do tourist videos for Chicago! All I want to do is come and eat there now x

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Right? We've been here so long and we still have so many of these to try. And good thinking on the tourist videos. :-)

[@MikkiShihTzu]

Maxwell street market!! I miss this place guys! Bringing back memories! Ughh

[@FoodandFootprints]

Remember we ate it right outside on that picnic table. It was an adventure on the Metra line to the last stop

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

That's so awesome you guys did that.

[@FoodandFootprints]

MacArthur’s! Remember your video on this spot - looks so good!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

That place is so good. We got takeout from there not long ago and their fried chicken is fire!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

The food at MacArthur's you ordered looked very comforting! it's like a mixed rice or combination rice we have in South East Asia but this one is western food haha. Rice and beans with ribs, omg that is heaven 😍

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Exactly!

[@FoodandFootprints]

Huitlacoche is good stuff - like how they make a blue corn tortilla too

[@pete9688]

Glad he mentioned Fat Johnny’s I used to go there when I was a teen. And Fat Jonny was there. The best hotdog I ever had. I didn’t know they were still opened!! I’ll track to the south side.

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

That spot is good 🙌🏽

[@PogiboyProductions]

No line? You know what that means? You guys got lucky haha.. those tacos look really good!! MMmm.. fat johnnie's with the dogs, so much flavor in that I can tell! MacArthur's with the BBQ ribs.. mm off the bone for sure haha! That pizza with the cheese, oh man! Kimchi and Beans mobile studio lol!! I think I'm set for Chicago and where to eat! Yes! 😋

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

That's the idea. Glad you guys have some ideas on where to go!

[@MikkiShihTzu]

Can't go wrong w blue corn torilla!! Love the colors of this taco

[@AlliandWill]

Those tacos look unreal!!!!

[@TheCityandBeyond]

That pizza is the truth. Maybe could use more time in the oven to crisp but it's so loaded, probably not. Still looks yummy.

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

It is!!! And the toppings on this pizza were quite nice.

[@AnSEpisodes]

Can't go wrong with pizza! haha don't think we're a fan of a smoked fish air freshener lol, oh yess agree with you, rice would be a great fit for that smoked fish!

[@MikkiShihTzu]

Oh man that quesadilla looks so good!! That cheese! Oaxaca cheese! Is that right? Yummy

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

It’s actually Wisconsin cheese

[@Burkerules]

Bro is tryin' to cut a triangle in a square cut tavern style pizza!! LOL @ New York fold!!!!

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Drippin food in Rubi’s sound good to me! Looked super 😋👍

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

hmm interesting that kinda mushroom! we'd love to try it!

[@Yasin_Affandi]

D pizza at Candlelite, wow, amazing.

[@mariaandbryan]

Those quesadillas look sooo good. Wisconsin cheese 🤣🤣🤣

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Yes! LOL

[@FoodandFootprints]

Smoked fish ornament 😂😂😂

[@SightsSpice]

Cool that you got a behind the scene look at the fish house

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Yes, they were so nice!

[@SenjaAldee]

wow the line in Rubys.. and whoa love all the food you show

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

hi Senja!

[@Forkit956]

A true Chicago hot dog is what i need in my life

[@AimlesslyDrifting]

Dang! We got to save all these spots for the next time we visit Chicago! Those hot dog's looked perfectly packed :O

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Yes! Glad you enjoyed it guys!

[@MikkiShihTzu]

Boy that pizza! Thats how I like it..thin crust. Lots of cheese cause and meat!!

[@jimnaz5267]

well done... keep smiling.

[@SantosChronicles]

Hey, I have been to MacArthur one before. Didn't realize this place was that popular. Thing crust pizza is one of my favorite (garbage stye). Especially the burnt taste at the end. Not use to seeing Nabol without his hat on. You guys don't mess around with your food because you guys hit so many places. That smoker is pretty cool. Eating that with Rice would be so good!!!! Smoked Fish Air Freshener 😂

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Rice makes everything a meal. Haha 😆

[@AnSEpisodes]

Haha Tacos definitely create lines! I agree!

[@WhereToNextDad]

Like#50 Very interesting, big thumbs up!

[@Yasin_Affandi]

D dishes at MacArthur's, they looked really good n delicious.

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Everything is so good there :-)

[@MadonnaSerrano]

Not sure about Calumet fisheries but now I'm craving for the Cadlelite pizza! ♥

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hahaha That pizza is very good for sure.

[@mariaandbryan]

Wow McArthurs is tha thing. Did you guys review this place before? It looks and sounds familiar

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

We did! We’re bringing back a few places that we think deserve more visibility.

[@SantosChronicles]

Why are these older hotdog dog stands is so good. Chicago Style Hotdog is the best!!!!! I haven't had a Chili Dog since I was a kid also. Looks like this was from earlier this year because Nabol is rocking his short sleeve shirt.

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Yes, this was from August I think..

[@mariaandbryan]

Wow! That hot dog has a tamale inside??? wow!!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Crazy right?!

[@mariaandbryan]

Yes every day might give a heart attack lol

[@SantosChronicles]

Rubi's no joke. That's a long line That is the worst wait - no tacos. Have to try it some time. You guys know all the good eats, we'll have to recreate your travels to find some good eats.

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hahaha Do it! highly recommend both places.

[@NacindiaDreamChild]

love the video, the food looks amazing

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Yay! So glad to hear.

[@LittleMakeupChannel]

Looks like nothing from the outside but inside, even famous people. Holiday Christmas salmon ornament fish and chips...aww that's nice they let you. 👍🏻

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mariaandbryan]

I have been craving hot dos since the last video were you guys were eating those huge hot dogs, that was what? Like 2 months ago??? Now we are on a diet so forget it lol

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

HAhahahhaha You need a vegan hot dog!

[@SorgiStories]

Of course they use Wisconsin cheese at that world class taco place! 🧀😉 Wait: A tamale chili Chicago hot dog? MacArthur’s: Fall off the bone...😋 “Milwaukee thin crust” in Rogers Park! With Italian Beef! 🍤 that smells like 🥓? Come to papa!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hahaha That's the best summary ever! Yes to all of that. Haha Take care guys.

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

hahaha smiling Kanye 😂😂😂😂

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hahaha

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

cool Bomberman red t-shirt! from Uniqlo??

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Yes!!! How did you know?

[@deenzoe176]

OK, I want to travel with you guys. I could be your roadie. The back seat could be reserved for me.😜. Miam Pizza, pizza, no matter how you slice it, it's a win, win.

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hahaha Thank you friend! Pizza is always a win win!

[@cardinalj]

Always get the fried smelt at Calumet Fisheries with mild sauce. Cant go wrong

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

We'll need to try that next! :-)

[@FoodandFootprints]

That charcoal-fired al pastor is so rare to find in the US! No wonder they sold out

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Always, you have to get there so early!

[@nickandhelmi]

Wow that's the longest taco line😳 Somehow tacos in US look so much better 😵

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Being so close to Mexico is such an advantage for sure. I bet it's very hard to get ingredients over there. Same reasons why other cuisines are hard to find here, like Malaysian.

[@RenLuuk]

"I need some rice" haha!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Always.

[@laurabustinza9526]

My mom would always go and buy fish there, we lived in E.C. Ind

[@laurabustinza9526]

Have you made new videos lately?

[@billbeliakoff5589]

I don't know about the cucumber on that tamale dog. But I'm willing to try.

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

😂😂❤️

[@robertschwartz4810]

I've always wanted to go to Calumet Fisheries but I don't have a car, and it would probably take about a day and a half by public transportation!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hi Robert! It is quite far for public transportation. Some friends of ours did it, but it was during the summer.

[@Forkit956]

Oaxaca and Panela are both my jam

[@Forkit956]

damn, that is a weird combo but it looks amazing, that catfish!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hahaha That plate made no sense but it was so good.

[@carenburger]

you guys are adorable!!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Thank you Caren! 👋

[@Yasin_Affandi]

D hotdogs looked so good.

I always wanted to eat the Deep dish Pizza. 😇💖😋🍕

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

You should!

[@humanwolf1984]

I went to a place that served it but I was not allowed to get it. 😢
