Hello Folks,

Happen to be in Chicago for a short while but thinking of maybe
extending my stay if the sightseeing - and more importantly the food -
is any good. Can anyone on here give it a thumbs up/thumbs down as a
"good food" City?

Cheers,
Richard

The last I heard Chicago had over 6500 restaurants not to mention
street vendors and hot dog carts. Here's a link to the dining section
of a great local magazine. There's a lot of information there.

Yep. A trip down Archer Ave. takes you through Asian, Mexican, Polish
and more all on the same street. If we ever make the move to a warmer
climate I'll miss the food here big time.

Topolobampo or Fronterra Grill (owner chef Rick Bayless) are side by
side and worth a stop for incredibly good Mexican food.

I'll be in Chicago myself at the end of the month and am looking forward
to all the great food to be found there.

That sounds like good food to me.

Again - sounds excellent. And I like sausages as much as diversity !

I've just noticed the 23 Michelin-starred restaurants is a healthy
sign of a good eating city !

If you want to try Polish and can get a ride these places are great.
The first link has a clip from a TV show I watched 2 weeks ago. The
second was voted best buffet in Chicago by the Chicago Reader.

Amazing what a simple question can throw up. Yes, I'm in the UK, I

tips. Why all the paranoia? Jeez...

I would kill for a Chicago Hot Dog (Red Hot) here in Tx. They have Chicago
'style' hot dogs.. yeah right. No casing on the dog? If it ain't a Vienna
Beef, with the casings snapping, it ain't a Chicago Dog...sob whine

Regardless of where you PHYSICALLY are, if and when you visit the USA,
have fun and enjoy all the thousands of types of food here that are
different than what you eat at home.

You might want to put Squirts in your killfile. You wouldn't want to
be the only person on the group who reads his trollish crap on
purpose. He thinks he's the RFC police. You can call him "Ossifer
Squirt"!

It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if you did live on just
those two things. It would be a pity though, with Mister Beef in
town.

That's kind of the purpose. Even though London is piled high with good
food these days from everywhere and anywhere, aim is always a) find
another big city b) read up for a month beforehand c) eat and d) write
about it, if at all possible. New York is always the obvious
destination food-wise, but I've been there twice now.

My lips are sealed from now. I guess every Usenet group has its
"special one".

Ya' jes gotta look harder, Peaches, but I feel your pain. While you
couldn't get me to Chicago at gunpoint, I'd damn near take a bullet
for a real Vienna Chi-dog.

The real ****er is, Vienna Beef now sells a smaller cheaper no-skin
version of their bigger encased dogs and I've discovered more than one
Vienna Chi-dog purveyor, here in CO, subbing the cheaper dogs while
still charging real snapper dog prices. Grrrrr.....

The best beef debate will never end but at least we've got lots of
choices. My favorite is Paul's. An 11" beef is $5.75 and has plenty
of meat on it. We split one and also split an order of fries. His
pizza is also very good.

As long as it's the real deal. You look for a Vienna sign and make
sure they use S. Rosen buns. Don't look for ketchup.

I was a bit shocked the last time I was at Sox Park to see how much of
the food selection was hot dogs. And there are pitifully few
alternatives in that neighborhood unless you walk to Chinatown.

You do know that you will be thrown out of any ChiDog place for asking for
ketchup. Even the wagons...(g)

That's not a bad price. I haven't looked recently but Costco sold
them up here but that's probably regional. I did see they still have
S.Rosen buns which is another key component. S.Rosen is a brand of
the Alpha Baking company and been around a long time. Here they make
the bread for Burger King, Chick-fil-A and others.

That's a good looking menu. I'm suddenly filled with the urge to go to

Louise's granny lived in Bridgeport until she died last December. Even
though we were that close I have no clue what's around the park but
I'm sure they cater to feeding drunks fast and simple.

Now you've given me another of your 200 socks to drop into my
killfile.

Wow, how many ways can you spell "Squirts"?

You'll notice, you idiot, that my advice is to those who you've posted
to in your usual nasty, usenet-cop-like, rude and obnoxious manner.

While they're rubbing off the shit you've slung on them, I explain to
them that the killfile is more easily done than wiping your mess off.

Do grow up little person. You're too old to act like a foul mouthed 10
year old child.
