I'm in Chicago but all the food places look run down and too ghetto...

>It's world famous especially for the food
Hot dogs, greasy beef sandwiches and pizza that answers the question "How much fucking cheese can we put on one of these things?" That will get you "world famous" in the Midwest, where deep fried butter on a stick is a thing, not the actual world.

unless you're a poorfag you should be able to find something.

this reminds me of when Rustlers microwave frozen burgers was giving away a free trip to Detroit. Op what were you thinking?

>I tried a hot dog and it tasted like one from costco

Were you in a CostCo at the time?

Go to Lou Malnati's. The one in Lincolnwood is the flagship.

Go to Reza's, 5300 block of North Peterson.

Go to Chinatown on a weekend for dim sum.

Go to Wally's Gyros in Park Ridge.

There are lots of other good restaurants. Post what you like and I'll point you at some.

>Mediterranean joint
Pita Inn on Dempster up in Skokie.

Try Davis Street Fish Market in Evanston.

I don't think anybody here was trying to get you to visit chicago

Detroit is actually nice if you stay in the downtown area, at most you'll see a couple homeless people outside of restaurants but nothing ever really happens over there, it only gets bad when you head toward the run down parts

They say Branson, MO is the new Chicago and I'd have to agree. Branson has all of what Chicago has and more. Branson's architectural and cultural wonders have long since fascinated travellers and it's finally getting recognition for it's culinary prowess as well. Little known fact Donald Trump considered building Trump Tower in Branson before having to settle with Manhattan. Even back then, Branson was too exclusive and expensive a location.

Shit pic, friend.

Is this a joke? It's got 10,000 people. I'm sure it's a nice place and probably doesn't have filthy ghetto issues like Chi-town, but what architectural wonders are we talking about here?

Kuma's Corner is good. They also have great beer. Get an Uber over there then hit up a Logan Arcade. You'll have a good time.

>I tried a hot dog and it tasted like one from costco
Yeah, thats what hot dogs are, what else could you possibly have expected? If anything Costco is above average for hot dogs, they aren't really a food for adults, you should have gotten a polish sausage or brat

just take the train up to Milwaukee, you can have better food, and get drunk on better and cheaper alcohol, buy a round trip train and still spend less than you would have in Chicago

Tell us about the cusine in your village/town/city. I'm sure your restaurants and chefs are impressive and its undoubtably a culinary destination. We'll be waiting patiently.

>Milwaukee
Never. The only redeemable things about Milwaukee are summer fest and spy bar (not even sure if the latter still exists). No other reasons to visit exist.

This is a troll post.

It's because you're a liar, can't afford a decent meal, and have never left the shithole you live in and/or don't have a passport. Enjoy your epic fail memester. Hope it tastes good with them tendies.

maybe if you don't like drinking

...

How many have you where you hail from? chicago.eater.com/maps/michelin-stars-chicago-2017-map

San Fagcisco, we have seafood and hipsters

Alice Waters' place is nice. Great mandarin orange salad (years and years ago). Greens, mandarin oranges, fennel bulb. Forget the dressing. Probably something simple like white vinegar. Or balsamic.

Chicago has the Golden Nugget which is the best 24-hour breakfast diner in the world, hit em up OP

Cioppino is dope.

meh I make decent money and the living is cheap.

lmao i'm from chicago and saw a hotdog on the menu in madrid. ordered it and got all excited to try it, and it just ended up being a fucking hotdog. not sure what I expected.

yea don't forget you can't buy beer past like 9:00 or some shit

only at stores
Its pretty mild compared to how overregulated alcohol sales are in many places, but still kind of shitty. Its funny though that the reason the law was made is because there are so many bars that the 'tavern league' lobbied for the regulation to encourage people to drink in bars rather than at home

lol yea that sucked. we went to the rave for a concert and just wanted to drink cheap in the hotel after. indiana doesn't let you buy it on sundays which always screws me over too

I live in NYC. Many of the restaurants and chefs here are impressive, and it is a culinary destination. Thanks for playing.

basura hija de perra

go to chinatown and eat some szechuan food.

its great.

As a downstate denizen, I get angry whenever someone doesn't refer to it as the Socialist Republic of Chicongo. No meme, its second nature to a lot of people here to say exactly that.
This guy deserved the septs, he knows whats up.

Southern Illinois is basically fucking Arkansas, you guys are more southerner than midwesterner

Oh wow you mean to say that one of the largest cities in the planet has some impressive chefs? Really? No way I don't believe you.

Seriously though do you actually believe that NYC has more impressive culinary accomplishments per capita than any other major city? And if you DO believe that can you provide any proof?

Harold's Chicken is the best fried chicken I've had.

I don't know what it is, but the mild sauce is amazing.

No I can't. I CAN suck a lot of dicks though. Does that help?

There are always last minute table openings on their Facebook page. Grace is the other 3 Michelin star restaurant in Chi and it's easier to get in to.

>going to Chicago in March
Should've visited during the Taste of Chicago festival

Or any month that doesn't have subzero temperatures

What's the name of the man in the pic? He looks exactly like my brother's soon to be wife and I think it would be funny to fuck with him.

>Alinea
>Grace
I know their three star joints and I'm half the world away tbqh

That's like saying NYC is famous for its food because of pizza joints and dirty water hot dogs

Don't be a retard

Yes, your post is a low tier troll. If you're under 30, hell, under 40, Kuma's and Logan Arcade are fun as fuck. I love Logan Square. There's another bar right across the street from the arcade that has even more top tier beer. You can't lose. Burgers, beer, and pinball. Who could call that a bad time? Check out the oriental museum, then hit up the book store kitty corner to it, then end your night in Logan Square. Your bound to have a good time.

It was 70 in February and 50 something this week. Unseasonably warm with hardly any snow. Weird winter, for sure. Robins are already hopping about.
