Everybody's allowed their opinion, but you can fuck all the way off talking shit about Chicago dogs! The combination of beef fankfurter, poppyseed bun, quality mustard, relish, chopped onion, tomato, sport peppers, celery salt... It sounds weird, but people who try it usually love them! You have to not be obsessed with ketchup though. One of the things I really miss from working in Chicago for a bit...
Chicago has some of the best food in the world. One week there and you have to let your belt out a notch.
Johnny's Beef, Gene and Jude's, Lou's.
What are the bottom two?
Hot dogs and pizza are awesome. Chicago deep dish, I only had it once in the windy. So yea maybe it wasnt the best, but it was really good. The reason the difference is important, chicago deep dish vs pizza from anywhere else in the states, is like the difference between a slice of warm melty pie and a sandwhich. Sure, its best if you sit down at a table for either one, but the sandwich you can eat while walking if needed.
That lineup of toppings for their basic hotdogs, they have a name for it right?
The bottom left is called a Jibarito, they are really popular on the NW side. Basically a sandwich with fried plantains (think tostones) instead of bread. Definitely my favorite of the 4 options here.
Bottom right is an Italian Beef; I think it’s usually just bread, roast beef, and giardiniera.
(I live in Chicago)
I've already said enough honest but controversial things about pasta, football, and pizza to be banned for life from entering Italy, so I might as well add this: Chicago style pizza is in fact quite good, despite my usual preference for thin crust pizza.
EDIT: Downvoted by Meloni
The ratio is way off and it's a mess.
Luckily I like things that suck.
"Chicago Style" pizza isn't deep dish, it's square cut tavern style pizza. Yeah, deep dish isn't that great.
The hot dog is indeed Chicago style and it's good
I don't know what's in the lower left but it looks good
That's Italian beef in the lower right and it's really good.
So 1 out of 4 is Chicago style
Source: Lived here my whole life with over half of it in the city itself
stuffed pizza is chicago style. lived here my whole life to. just because its not ordered all the time don't mean its not chicago.
I will throw hands over the disparagement of a hot beef dipped
My main problem with an Italian Beef is that a French dip requires a fraction of the ingredients but tastes just as good, if not better.
No comment about da bears?
Don't follow football so all I can say is that their stunt with the stadium is fuckin stupid and they make enough money to not be subsidized by the city
Inside Chicago the thin tavern is “Chicago style” outside of Chicago deep dish is “Chicago style”
I know it sucks but you can’t change everyone’s mind.
The world needs to know that Chicagoans rarely order deep dish
That’s fair, and true.
ugh this is so annoying. I get thing crust square cut all the time but rarely cracker type tavern style and I will indulge in deep dish once I know a place can do it well.
And that tavern style is amazing
If you want to mock a steady pizza, the better target is on another lake, Detroit
Because it takes an hour to prepare and sucks
And when something is a crime against god and man we call it “Altoona-style”
