After watching this guy for a decade, it's wild watching him come to Chicago and eating the foods that I grew up on and still eat regularly. I'm glad you're enjoying your stay. Cheers from NYC- another great food city, but Chicago is the best in the world!

[@MN12warbird]

Being a Chicagoan and visited nyc, i can see the reasons why. One of the biggest reasons being, usually most places i go to like this to eat, theres no line, or a really short one. In nyc just to go eat a quick meal at a costco was a 15 min line for food that wasn't that good. I wish i could've gone to queens i heard thats where alot of the good food places are

i'm from chicago and i truly appreciate that you're hitting all the real spots! too many so vloggers go to chicago and always go to the wrongs spots that just been open for like 2-5 years and most of us dont even know about or even go to. you gotta really get inside the city truly away from the downtown area if you really want some good food. you gotta get into the neighborhoods. and you sir have done that and i respect you for that. dont forget that we also have great chinese, indian,puerto rican mexican and greek food as well as some good italian joints. we also have amazing gyros.

Ricobene's is LEGENDARY. I also have the breaded steak as one of my top sandwiches ever. Real food coma+heartburn hazard but it's sooo worth it. Manny's is pretty good but mostly has history going for it. Eleven City Diner down the road does a better pastrami in my opinion and the Salami Valor is another on my top sandwich list. Still have yet to make my way to JP's.

One excellent sandwich gem is JTs Genuine Sandwich Shop near Irving Park - specialize in regional Midwest sandwiches (Breaded Pork Tenderloin - Indiana, Philly Roll, Detroit Coney Dog, etc). Super high quality. And if you're still doing shows in Chicago I recommend a taco episode - largest population of Mexican-Americans outside of the SW, and the food (esp tacos) reflects it well. Highlights are La Chapparita, Birreria Zaragoza, Carnitas Uruapan, Tio Luis, 5 Rabanitos, Mi Tocaya Antojeria (fancier), and Guapo Tacos (for Tacos de canasta).
