Chicago has always been a magnetic tourist mecca with the greatest scenes, sights, sounds, smells, sports teams, museums, theaters, lakefront food fests, opera, restaurants, architectural wonders, etal in the world!

During my travels to 4 continents, never found anything which comes close to restaurants in Chicago. Uno's & Duo's, Portillo's, The Old Barn, Surma's, numerous Bohemian joints in Berwyn area, Bombay Palace in down town Chicago, The Athens, Willowbrook Ballroom restaurant....I could go on and on....have no equivalent anywhere.

Oh, my, Entropy12...don't get me started....I would give my right arm for a Portillo's magnificent Chicago-style hot dog with everything - including the celery seed.....or one of their incomparable Italian Beef sandwiches (to die for)...or to dine tonight at the peerless Bohemian Crystal Restaurant in Downers Grove (roast pork, delicious dumplings, boats of steaming hot pork gravy, sauerkraut, real crusty Bohemian rye bread...and homemade kolaky or apple strudel).

Nothing here in my area of Florida even comes close, sigh.
