What are some special dishes from the region you live in?
My city is known for its deep dish pizza, hot dogs, barbecue, pizza puffs, and whole bunch of other stuff.
shareLou Malnati's & Giordano's has the best deep dish pizza I've ever tasted. The last time I was in Chicago we went to Superdawg and I think that is exactly how I picture a perfect hotdog. That bright green relish is definitely alien technology though. I heard my favorite spot...Hot Doug's closed down. :( Also my friend took us to the southside (which was kind of scary) for burgers but we ended up getting pizza puffs with mild sauce. Mild sauce is something I can't explain but it's so freaking good! Our tour guide said its a southside thing...whatever that means.
Never had Chicago BBQ but if it's anything like its pizza then should be in for a treat next time I'm there.
Glad you had a good time!
shareEven though Chicago is my dad's hometown, I've only been there twice, and only one of those times as an adult. 1993 Grateful Dead concert at Soldier Field. As we were walking back to our car, there was a father and son selling slices from a portable table. Whether they owned a pizza place or bought a bunch I don't remember. I had been living in Minneapolis for 5 years at that point, having what I though was quite respectable pizza. I bought one of their slices, and it was fantastic! Much better than anything in Minneapolis. From a stand!
