Chicago eats...

Hot Doug’s is closed now, but the Sausage Superstore and Encased Meat Emporium was fantastic while it was in business. Not much help for you now, just reminiscing.

For the love of St. Christopher (patron saint of travelers), do not go anywhere to eat what you could have back home (i.e., pizza, sammitches, fried chicken...). The whole point of travel is to try something new. In Chicago, you can sample Moroccan, Ethiopian, Senegalese, Ukrainian, and more.

Listen, why don't you stay home and I'll go in your place...
 
If you're at Mccormick Place and trying to stay nearby and within a reasonable budget, walk your little behind on over to Chinatown and just pick a place. Minghin Cuisine being the most famous/popular.
Xi’an is better. Minghin’s dim sum menu isn’t bad though.

No, no, no…this is like saying don’t have tacos in San Diego because you can get tacos in Iowa. Almost any food is much better in Chicago than here in Iowa. They know food.

Actually, that's good advice. I specifically went to In and Out Burger and Del Taco when I was there for the S.D. vibe.

Never again. Yetch.

But at least now I know.

Will never regret a superb meal at Himal Chuli in Madison, WI.

Especially since it's not likely I will ever get to Nepal. Then again, not sure I'll ever go back to Madison, either.

What??

In n Out can be an acquired taste, but animal style saves it.

But bashing Del?? What the flying ****?
