As a Chicago native, these are my all time favorite spots in the city. I’ve been to all of these multiple times and have tried a variety of the menu. These are places that I would be shocked if you couldn’t find something you like on their menu. I ha...

AMAZING customizable burgers. My favorite is the French onion soup combo. 🤩
Butcher & The Burger
the burger is a MUST TRY I’m obsessed.
Mott St
Best kbbq in the city. Very authentic experience. Don’t expect any special treatment from the servers, but so so worth it when you taste the food. They don’t do reservations and you can expect a line on the weekends. But I’m addicted. I go every year...
Cho Sun Ok Restaurant
Best Italian food I’ve tried in the city. Amazing service and beautiful ambiance. This place gets busy but idk why it’s not busier. My family goes whenever we have something to celebrate ☺️
Anteprima
This bar is awesome and unexpectedly has really delicious food. Perfect place for a first date 🫣

Amazing authentic Mexican food that is priced very reasonably :) again not really underrated if you’re from Chicago, but a must try if you haven’t yet!!

Cutest sushi spot ever! I love their bento boxes

Café Colao
The BEST sandwichesssss!!!!!!! Never disappoints fr 🤤
Sfera Sicilian Street Food
Best subs in the Chicago area. I know this technically isn’t Chicago, it’s elmwood park but I couldn’t not mention this place. Iconic spot for west suburban kids, and the family that owns it are the nicest people ever 🫂
Alpine Food Shop
Iconic Chicago hotdog spot! And one of the only drive in places left, my go to when I wanna hang with a friend in the car lol 🚘
