I immediately loved this video when I saw the "L". I love Chicago, I have a tattoo of the City flag

Went there 10+ years ago for a hospice convention...it was a neat city, but I did not care for the deep dish pizza!
Why not? Personal preferences I'm sure but do you remember where you had it (even though it was 10+ years ago)? There's only two or three places in the City that I like pizza from.
I don't remember, but it was too rich for me...the few bites I had tasted good but I couldn't eat more than a 2-3 bites.
On the topic of Chicago food, I have to put in my Chicago favorite, the Chicago hot dog. If you all visit the Lounge, you have to stop at Gene and Judes and pick up a dog from there.
We've all seen the chicago vs ny pizza wars on tv. I cannot stand deep dish either ,i can take about 4-5 bites and i'm done .
Its my mission in life to go to the old school ny pizza places as well as have philly cheese steaks at both famous places .
Theres an old school place in redwood city that has em as good as ive ever tasted here as well as great 100% beef hot dogs any way you want em that are the best ive tasted in cali anywhere .
And i'll take a good french dip anyday .Its all in what your used to i think .

I live here and I agree. I like east coast style pizza that you can pick up in your hand, fold it if you want to, and eat it.......with a crust that's slightly crispy but also chewy. The Chicago- style pizza is like bread dough with two pounds of ingredients on it and a fork is a must. But, it has loads and loads of dedicated fans, for sure!
.....and waylon, a new place just opened up that supposedly sells authentic Philly cheesesteaks (in spite of the popularity of the Italian beef) and I cannot wait to get some of that.
Let me know where that place is. Like I've mentioned elsewhere, I'm 300lbs so all the extra stuff on a pizza is a must
It just occurred to me last night how dreadfully I will miss Kansas City barbeque . . . OTOH, getting back to the land of FRESH seafood (with lotsa grouper, red snapper, and stone crab! 
) will probably console me plenty.

The one thing I miss about visiting both coasts is the seafood. Chicago is great...but not for seafood. Lobster and shellfish in Boston! Fresh fish in Cali. I loved it so much.
I heard on the radio a debate over the best BBQ in the country, it was between KC and Memphis...EleanorR your thoughts?

I will take your word for it. I love the summer for BBQ and the Taste of Chicago. There USED to be great BBQ from all over the city but lately the size of the Taste has gone down. But KC is now on my list of places to visit for food purposes.
Pres. Bill Clinton must have come here about 40 times, just for the barbeque! 
First recommendations: Gates' or Arthur Bryant's.

Best food of Chicago is Molly's cupcakes, home of the Ron Bennington. You can't name something after the greatest person in radio and it not be good...
Love, love, love Gates Barbeque!
