I had Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix. Thought it was good, but not the groundbreaking pizza many others claim it to be.

Giordanos > Lou's but not by much.

Giordanos and Portillos are my go to places in Chicago. They did end both bringing all 3 of those places to the Valley though so it isn't a crazy big deal if you miss them.

Also, there is a burger joint about 3 blocks from Wrigley that has one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. Double burger with gyro meat on top. *chef's kiss*

Spartan Pita and Gyro here in phx, 46th st and Thomas, has a really good burger with gyro meat. Well at least they did, heard the ownership changed recently and the food might not be as good.

Insanity On Giordano’s. Another great place is Al’s Italian Beef.

and if you just want to be entertained go to Weiner Circle on a Friday or Saturday nights after midnight.

eh... wiener circle if you want to watch a bunch of privilaged white frat boys yell racial obscenities at the workers. It gets pretty bad in there.

it used to be the other way around where the workers were hilarious cut-down artists of anyone who walked in the door.

Weiner Circle is absolutely chaos at those times. And hilarious.

Yeah that was my recollection. If it’s flipped that really sucks.

I was told to go to Pequods...... but what do I know.

The place I would definitely try to hit up would be this hyper famous jerk chicken joint: https://g.page/GarifunaFlava?share

It is close but I have never had a bad pie at Giordanos. Also, I like Portillos a bit more than Al's due to the sausage.

What was everyone’s reason for going to Chicago? Doesn’t seem like a vacation destination to me. My wife had a work thing so I decided to go along…. had a great time. Why did you all go?

Work trip?
Visiting friends/family?
Sporting/concert event?
Passing through on the way to another destination?

Just seems odd that a bunch of Cardinals fans have all visited there. There can’t be any Chicago Cardinals fans on this board…

Vacation in the summer. It was amazing

 

[WisconsinCard]

I've been to 2 games in Chicago with Cards gear on and never had any issues. Bears fans aren't bad.

I was with you for one of them. Bears fans were mellow if course we were kicking the crap out of them too. I think David Johnson took the opening kick off for a TD and we never looked back. Last game I went to with okcardszona. Miss ya brother.

Grew up in Chicago and it was my dad infected me with Big Red fever in 1960. I remember going to the Armed Forces game at Soldier’s Field (Bears played at Wrigley) and number 3 Billy Gambrell became my first Cardinal hero.

Family.

But Chicago in summer is absolutely a vacation destination, IMO. Downtown is one of this country’s greatest cities, IMO. Great food, museums, historic sports venues with Wrigley. And I love the people downtown. Have always made fast friends with total strangers in that city.

+1 Grew up Downstate, but downtown Chicago/Lakefront is absolutely a must see in the summer/fall.
