The best deep dish that you would be able to get to easily is Lou Malnati's. Get the sausage or the spinach.
If you head south a little ways, go to Zorba's for Greek food, and Jim's Original for a Maxwell Street Polish (the original, although they've moved to Union)
You gotta get some Harold's fried chicken. They put the sauce on the chicken or fish or whatever you get, and it's great.
None of this food is good for you, and they're all best after some booze or weed.

When I am in town, I try to hit this favorite list completely, if I have time from new or hipster choices of family/friends.

Berghoff (all the classics, all the menu) http://www.theberghoff.com/
Portillos (garbage salad, combo beef sausage with hot peppers, chicago dog) http://www.portillos.com/all-menus/
Lou Malnati's and this is easy because they deliver everywhere you might be, get the special Malnati version of homemade italian sausage for the full flavor experience. http://www.loumalnatis.com/
Gale Street Inn for the ribs.
Several irish pubs to get a Boxty craving handled, which my home city doesn't seem to do AT ALL at any pub.

Gibsons Steakhouse for special nights or a special drink...
Maybe a Bayliss joint if I want some craving settled for an unusual mexican ingredient you don't get a favorite home city's dive taqueria like say Huitlacoche or an authentic mole that isn't coming out of a jar, but have to plan for a RSVP, always full!
My city does have great pho and good chinese food, but none seem to have good dimsum, so I might go to do a brunch that features it.

I lived in Lakeview! I think I prefer Nancy's pizza, but Lou's is good too. Haven't tried Gino's East yet.

Crisp has good Korean (best bimbambop personally), but it's always packed. Bobtail has good icecream. The Florentine is the only pizza I've had at Mista and for good reason.

The best Chicago Dog I've personally had is at Gold Coast Dogs. Portillos was good, but I preferred Gold Coast Dogs. Don't eat Clark St. Dogs, it was shit. I haven't had Wiener's Circle but you can go if you want to say that you went.

If you haven't tried Shake Shack please do that. Eataly is good too if you want (expensive) Italian. You can find both of these places in other big cities (depending) so if you can't get them near you then I would consider trying.

Obligatory-tier is Garrett's popcorn, obviously you have to get the Garrett mix of Cheese and Caramel.

I enjoy Do Rite donuts, Stan's is good too.

You have to try Intellegentsia coffee. Have to. Please. There's one across from the cultural center.

I'm from Chicago and will have deep dish once every 2-3 months.

A scam is when you get nothing or little for money, which isn't present here. When you order deep dish, you pay a reasonable amount and get a pizza in return. That's not a scam.

A tourist scam is paying $22 to go up to the Skydeck. A tourist's scam is $15 for a shot glass that says Chicago.

Deep dish isn't a "scam" just because you personally never eat it.

I used to live around there too. You've got some good eat's around there.
Rock's (Burgers)
Stella's diner
Crisp (Korean Fried Chicken)
Flub a Dub Chubs (Hotdogs and Burgers.)
Chicken Hut,
Wrigley BBQ
Cheesie's by the Belmont Redline stop.
Renaldi's (Pizza)
Sappori Trattoria (High-end Italian)
Aloha Eats (Hawaiian Asian stuff. Kickass Katsu)

Pretty much all these places are on Broadway. North of Fullerton, south of Wrigley Field.

Don't bother going to Ann Sather's for anything other than their meme cinnamon rolls. The breakfast food is too expensive and sub-par.

If you like Gyros and are near UIC/Greektown, go to Zeus Restaurant on Jackson and Halsted (it's a few meters down from that Mr. Gyros). Their gyro meat is really juicy and they cut you nice, long thick strips (much better than Hubs).

Just the gyro though. Everything else is OK (although I do like the cheese fries from there) .

But I guess if you were in Greektown, you'd want to go to the other restaurants (like the one with a fucking waterfall in the inner outdoor seating area) !

>> No.7770424

>>7768230

some alternatives, depending on where your hotel is:
instead of sappori trattoria, go to angelina ristorante. i have been to both (one saporri, 3 times angeline). they are both in the same price range, but i think the food at angelina is a bit better in both food and ambiance. the best italian place i have been to in the area is rose angelis.

as for rocks. why? revolucion is right across the street. it's a mexican steakhouse, while rocks is a glorified over-priced bar that sells burgers. the options besides steak at revolucion are great, and it's not even that pricey for a steakhouse. do not confuse it for the shitty mexican place across the street, though. that shitty one has a grubhub sign and it sucks.

>> No.7770429

btw the reason i did not recommend rose angelis first is cause it's an annoyance to get to, especially from any lakeview hotel.
