So I crossed two items off my list last night (and by list, I mean this work friends’-imposed-list of things to eat/do to fully experience Chicago.)

The others just sort of got done along the way – I have, lived here for more than two years after all.

Portillo’s – check
Cannoli – check
Garrett’s cheese and caramel popcorn – check (yum!)
Italian beef – check (sorry, but I feel Luke’s is better)
Chicago-style hotdog – multiple check (SuperDawg baby!)
Kuma’s Corner
Hot Doug’s – check (thanks to Anthony Bourdain)
Elotes – check
deep dish pizza – check (Lou Malnati’s)
Maxwell St. polish – check
Greek food in Greek town – check
Have (almost) everything at the Taste of Chicago – check
Mexican food in Pilsen – check
