Jibarito is the true based Chicago sandwich.

>Bun made out of deep fried non-sweet plantains
>Skirt steak
>Cheese
>Tomatoes
>Lettuce
>Onions
>Mayo
>Big nasty spread of garlic
>Served over rice and beans to catch all drippings

My favorite spot to get them is Jibaritos y Mas on W Fullerton & N Kimball.

Of the meme pizza joints, Giordano's is the best, don't let people lead you astray.

Gino's East is the meme place for pizza. I recommend Weiner Circle for similar meme reasons. Al's Italian beef is a recent phenomenon but they make a good sandwich. If you like partying take a spin on Clark street south of Wrigley Field

Where would you go for an Italian beef? I've had probably over 50 beefs from 50 places throughout the city when I lived there and still found that portillos had unbeatable consistency and God tier giard. Also go to flat irons for bars or Logan square. If you're fucked up late night try Mr. Greeks gyro. Not the best but open late and filling.

Go to the 6 points in Wicker Park. Yea theres a lot of faggy shit but thats where a lot of good bars/girls/food is. Devil Dawgs in Lincoln Park or South Loop is good. South Loop has a kick ass jazz venue right off State st.

Former Loyola faggot here.
Any Chicago lads remember the Gaztrowagon?
I used to help prep that shit for free cause I loved food so much.
I moved out of Chicago since 2012, but I still have a lot of friends there. I just keep tabs on the bars opening up there.
Here's a few WORTH hitting up.
Scoflaw
Lost Lake Tiki
Three Dots & a Dash
Billy Sunday
Oh, I remember one of my fave spots for a date, or taking other foodie friends.
Avec. Very cool.
