The other day at work I came across the newest issue of Chicago Magazine that rated the top 25 pizzas in Chicago, and today I went to one of my favorite restaurants in the city for lunch. It got me thinking, where would I tell people they had to go if they were visiting Chicago? Since I normally like to order the same thing at the same restaurants over and over, here is my small list of recommendations or just places I love to eat (in no particular order).
Big Star
The things I would do to the pork belly taco if it wasn't frowned upon.
Piece Pizza
Giant pizza and and great microbrew.
Kuma's Corner
Best burger and the most uncomfortable i've ever been after a meal. Totally worth it.
Stella's Diner
My favorite breakfast spot in the city.
XOCO and Frontera
Top Chef Master, Rick Bayless!
Hot Doug's
Anthony Bourdain has this on his list of 13 places to eat before you die. I've eaten at two of them. Heyoh!
Smoque BBQ
The first time the wife and I ate here we did it in complete silence. No words were exchanged during our feeding.
Tango Sur
It's steak and it's BYOB. A win win situation.
Rose Angelis
Best Italian food I've ever had, plus, I ate here the night I got engaged.
This list got me thinking about beer for some reason. That list may be coming soon.
