Michelin is a joke, states have to pay them an enormous sum just to get them to come to their state to review restaurants. California paid them $600,000 for the privilege.

I love both and I think Detroit might be my favorite style overall, that's just because it's simpler and easier to recreate so I know what I'm getting if it's Buddy's or Little Caesars. Chicago deep dish maybe I want it 2-3 times a year but I know it's going to be a fucking feast.

Atheism is based on faith just as much as other religions. Denying the existence of something without hard facts to proof their claim is just as dumb as blindly believing it.
Technically people who have come into contact with scientific research should consider themselves agnostic, but if you believe that education fixes all idiocy in people you might as well allahu akhbar in front of a bus to get your afterlife decked out with thottery.

Look up the meaning behind atheism or even the word itself. If someone were to scientifically proof the existence of a higher being to them, wether it’s god, Gandalf or decision making dark matter, they would by definition continue to deny this fact on a basis of belief.

yet atheists constantly feel the need to try and argue with christians (always specifically them, what a "coincidence") and try to desperately disprove the existence of God. if someone were a true atheist, they would simply say "I do not believe there is a God". And that would be the end of it, they wouldn't contemplate it any furhter than that, and they wouldn't waste their time thinking about it or debating it, since they literally do not believe in the existence of a higher power. but almost every single atheist cannot just rest at this, and instead spend every opportunity they can to belittle, argue, and try to disprove christians and christianity. Your average atheist is not a true atheist

nah, most people saying that really mean "there probably is no god", or "there is no evidence that there is a god", or "beleiving in super natural stuff for which there is no evidence is silly so why bother with it"

Here are some opinions about shitcago, having lived there all of my young adult life (and getting out asap after uni).

Chicago is good from the /ck/ angle, because it has all sorts of people living there, so you're getting a lot of authentic cuisine from different parts of the world. Also, it's a huge distribution center of America that funnels in a lot of freight so you've got a huge selection of quality ingredients coming through.

You've got actual Japanese owned restaurants serving authentic Japanese dishes. You've got a lot of Polacks that have good ingredients and quality dishes that are very close to old style homecooked US meals.
You've got all sorts of middle eastern foods. Real Koreans and Chinese doing their thing. Real Italian delis with fantastic bakeries and a variety of unique imports.
