Despite what /ck/ commonly says about Chicago, there are many, many different foods unique here.

Do you know what area of Chicago you're going to be in, or what you'd like to try (aside from deep dish and hot dogs)?

Also, deep dish pizza takes forever to make, and unless you're with a group (or call ahead and get take-out) it will fill you up. I haven't lived here long enough to suggest a definitive Chicago dog (there are extensive websites devoted to the issue), but Superdawg would probably be my best recommendation for the overall experience of what to expect (they also have some nice plushies for sale, if you're into that).

It otherwise depends on what you're looking for (if you're doing Alinea I'm guessing you're going to wan't to not spend too much elsewhere).

Looking forward to pics.

Oh boy! Can't wait to see pics of tiny portions of shitty overpriced food that people pay tons of money for just for the "presentation".
French places like Alinea and The French Laundry are the most pretentious bullshit ever. People literally only go there so they can take pictures of all their dishes and brag about their expensive meals on twitter.

So you've eaten lasagne and a slab of meat, and now you're qualified to class places like Alinea and The French Laundry as 'artsy fartsy bullshit'?

A plate of food doesn't have to weight 5kg and cost $5.99 for it to be nice. A quick search for the Alinea menu and you can see that they are serving 18-25 course for a taster menu. Clearly each plate of food isn't going to be very large.

Holy shit, at least do some kind of research about a city before going there. Chicago has a fucking huge Mexican population and their Mexican food is some of the best in the country. I can't recommend anything because frankly I don't remember the names of anywhere I went. They were all shady places that looked like you'd get stabbed and raped. But if you can find a place with beef tongue tacos, do it.

Thats typically the way it goes with some people. The ones who have never experienced dinner in a 2/3 star restaurant are those most critical of it. Same old criticisms every time as well.

>Portions are too small
Yes, if you're eating just 1 course. Given that you're eating 7,8 courses all the way up to 25 courses, the amount of food is actually quite a lot.
>Too expensive
Yes, its expensive. But if you're eating 10 courses, and paying £120, thats only £12 per dish. Thats the same price as a main course in a high street restaurant.
>Its too pretentious
It really isn't. These kinds of restaurants are frequented by a wider section of society than they used to be. Young people, old people, people who save up their money for a few months for a special occasion, people who go to these places on a weekly basis using the company credit card. The staff appreciate this and adjust accordingly. If you want to have a joke and laugh with them, they do that. If you want them to shut up and pour your wine, they do that. Theres no reason to feel uncomfortable.
>Its style over substance
Well thats something that can't be explained in words. You can only appreciate that it mostly isn't once you've tried the food.

Nothing I said was bait. Alinea exists purely for rich snobs to stroke their own egos about the fact that they can afford the overpriced food. If you use 4 dozen adjectives to describe every ingredient in your dish, you are a pretentious prick. My friend actually had the opportunity to dine there last year and he said the waiter actually scoffed at his date when she asked a question.

What a horrible restaurant. Food doesn't taste better just because the beef comes from cows who listened to Mozart everyday, and the beef was chilled with the same liquid nitrogen used in the space station or some shit.

What if you're doing dishes that no home cook would attempt, or the fact that a lot of home cooked meals are very different depending on cuisine and particular technique. No, the difference is that most on /ck/ think things should be cheap as dirt or some progressive-ideal form of abstract art.
