We are so adamant about not putting ketchup on our hot dogs because we have fresh tomatoes, I don't care what situation you are talking about, fresh tomatoes are always better and yes, if you put ketchup on them you are not welcome in the city. I'm sorry to say that a big part of the reason we're making this video is because we're preserving the culture and history of Chicago, which is why a lot of chain restaurants are popping up, but our goal is to support local businesses. Byron's has been around since the 1970s and we want to keep it that way so it's time to bite into this Chicago style hot dog, it's a giant and I don't know how we're going to do it but we will.

I love a little bit of Chicago. Wonderfully colorful style hot dogs, lots of ingredients and most importantly, they are delicious. Our next stop is for an Italian steak at Mr Beef in Orleans in the River North neighborhood. This is an iconic Chicago food created by Italian immigrants in the early 19th century. You can find them all over Chicago. The way to order them is with hot peppers and extra sauce. That's how I get it and I think it's perfect that way. By the way, this is not a pure meal. Make sure you have plenty of wet napkins. wipes hand sanitizer whatever you need because you're going to get your hands dirty the taste of the meat is amazing now with the juice soaking into the bread a little heat from the hot peppers it's a very simple sandwich but the flavors are so elegant and that's which makes it an iconic food.

We had to make a stop for Garrett's popcorn. This is a Chicago tradition that dates back to 1949 and many people don't know that it was started by a woman Oprah called this. one of their favorites in the mid 2000's, I don't remember exactly what year Garrett's is famous for is their freshly popped popcorn, they make it in small batches, basically when you go in you leave with a bag of fresh popcorn. The most famous thing you can order is Garrett, also known as Chicago mix caramel and cheddar. You can ask for it. They will make that batch right before shipping it to you.

Wherever you live in the world. There are a couple of locations and international locations. Throughout the city of Chicago, this is one of those blends that you wouldn't immediately think goes together, but they really do. It is a perfect balance of flavors. You have it sweet, you have it salty, you have it crunchy. Each bite will be a little different. because sometimes you get candy corn, sometimes you get cheese for visitors to Chicago, this is a favorite souvenir to take home. Pins you can buy some souvenirs even after the popcorn is gone. I used to wait for whoever was visiting Chicago to come home with a bag of Garrett's popcorn.

List of 10 Chicago Foods, this is the most debated, there is always a debate about which is the best, but this is the 88th location in the South Loop, aka chicken meat, beer, you have the mild sauce and the sauce spice you want to drizzle on top. of the chicken, the chicken is made to order and very crispy, by the way, the fries aren't that bad, there isn't a piece of bread underneath either, you'll have to take my word for it, Chicago style fried chicken, that's how fried . the chicken with sauce drizzled on top makes it even more delicious of all the foods we eat today.

Deep dish pizza is perhaps Chicago's most iconic. This is the one that tourists look for directly, even if they are only here for once. Night Illuminati's is a perfect place to get a classic Chicago deep dish pizza, crudely crafted at one's and some say created the deep dish recipe; In any case, one of his sons founded the Luma Maddie's franchise and the rest is history. I'm wondering how the hell I'm eating so much food today but we actually have friends with us that help us manage all this food so I finally watched that Jon Stewart video where he rants about how deep dish pizza isn't real pizza and this. that the other one seems ridiculous to me, honestly, this is a pizza, we have the classic deep dish pizza with butter crust and lumo ice with pepperoni.

I would say there are three notable things about this pizza, the buttery crust, the sauce and it has a lot of cheese.
