There are a lot of pizza restaurants in Chicago that makes pizza, but I am looking for other then a pizza place, what is your favorite restaurant in Chicago. So you can’t say Connie’s Pizza, Home Run Inn, Lou Malanti’s. But you can say Harry Caray’s, (as long you don’t say Harry Caray’s Tavern), Mike Ditkia’s, or even the Billy Goat Tavern. And please tell me why it is your favorite restaurant in Chicago.
Tru
Japanois
Leon’s
M Henry’s
Harold’s Chicken
Tanoshii
Fogo de Chao (I know, Fogo is a chain but I love it so much!)
Alinea
House of Sushi & Noodles (might be House of Noodles & Sushi)
Gibson’s
Keifer’s
Brasserie Jo’s
L2O
Nacional 27
N9ne
Avec
RedLight
etc
etc
etc
Of these, the best I’ve had is Tru. My overall favorite restaurant is probably Fogo de Chao.
I doubt most Chicagoans would actually pick a pizza place as their favorite restaurant, no matter how much we like pizza; no more than we would pick a hot dog place as our favorite restaurant even though we love hot dogs. Anyone who thinks Chicago cuisine consists of pizza and neighborhood taverns really doesn’t know the city very well.
UPDATE
LOL…okay, I was wrong, we still love our pizza, hot dogs and beefs, too!
