Ok, so we're going to Chicago next week.
We'll be getting there 6/26 (fri) and we'll be leaving 7/01 (wed).

We're huge food freaks & we need to know all the good places to eat.

We'll definitely be attending the Taste of Chicago.

Thanks in advance.

 

Well....if you are attending the Taste, then there is a bit of everything there w/o having to hunt them out in the city Wear comfy shoes. Early hours are ok but evening hours are best for weather-related reasons.

 

Mmm can't wait 'til the Taste.

 

taste of chicago= wallet in front pocket

 

It is a rip. Just buy enough tickets to have a complete meal. Try to hold off on the booze and go to a bar later.

 

David Burkes if you dont mind spending some serious cash for a great steak.
Good food in China town, little italy, heart of italy, greek town, pilsen.
Great pizza, and all kinds. Great Lake Pie in Andersonville was rated best pizza in America by GQ- its really good. There are alwasy the stand bys too. Some of the best places are buried and unknown to non natives. What kind of food in particular?

 

True story, keep your girl close and your money closer.

What I did last year was ate when I got there, than waited till about the end, and most of the vendors were giving away food

 

mmmmm greek town the parthenon best lamb ever

R.J. Grunts just north of downtown. Great food all around and neat atmosphere. Plus, it won't take a hit to your wallet. Best burger I've ever had.

Almost every time I spend a day in the city I hit up J's Dawgs. I can't tell ya' right where it's located, but it's by the Bentley dealership. (How could I forget the cars there, LP640, F430, and the list goes on )

Anyhoo, they have some good old fashion grilled food. Good burgers and dogs, heard their gyro's aren't that great, good grilled chicken, mmm. And all very inexpensive.

And Rob, x2 on Portillos. J's is pretty much the same food except for the pasta.
