Hello Strut,
Myself and wifey are doing a few days in Chicago next week - any must do/must see recommendations would be hugely appreciated. I wouldn't be mad if there's a nice digging spot either
Thanking you

So if hot wet beef sandwiches are something that pique your interest, maybe try to score one.
Best avoided just before an intimate transatlantic flight.
Yeah, so much great food in Chi-town.
The Art Institute of Chicago was excellent when I went. Architecture Boat Rides do not disappoint!
just make sure Dave Matthews isn't around!

I love a fat slice (Fat Slice in Berkeley is my favorite pizza of all time) but chicago pizza feels too much like somebody serving you a KFC double down and going "what, it's traditional, it's how we eat burgers here, it's certainly not a 10-year-old's attempt at an original recipe that is just his favorite food stacked on top of itself". But I guess you'll get locked up and beaten in a windowless building downtown with no lawyer if you don't have some chicago style pizza while you're there
We hit the tourist stuff hard, maybe too hard for a short break...architecture tour was probably my highlight (the guide was amazing), as well as the whole lakeside experience (weather was amazing).
got to dusty groove for a quick look around, seemed good and got one of my wants there.
great city, loads of nice people and interesting shit to do. Thanks for the info, Strutters.
