What makes it [Chicago] different?
Great hot dogs and a hot dog stand or restaurant on almost every street.
Portillos Italian Beef sandwiches
Italian Restaurants in the Elmwood Park area
White Castle hamburgers
I miss Barnellis.
You forgot “Pepe’s wonderful Mexican Food”.
The one thing my wife and I Miss about Chicago is the food, especially the deep dish Pizza and pizza from the ORIGINAL Home Run In on 31st street.
I also agree about Portillos.
