Why? Old Style sucks. Probably why it is available at Wrigley Field  :bang .

i only visited the pig stand on the north side several times and that was in the 60's with my father.

 

so i wouldn't know what they serve.

 

old style is much better than bud. you need to know what bud add to their beer, it something very similar to the cigerette story.

So HSC, if budget were not an issue what would be 3 restaurants in Chicago that are musts?  What about on a medium budget? 

 

What is your favorite pizza place? 

 

Think downtown here, not out in the burbs...

due's on wabash for pizza.. a must.....best in town.... mho.......and because i like it deep....dish that is........... ;)

 

if you want italian then i suggest a nice little place on racine and vernon park....tufanos vernon park tap........very inexpensive and excellent food....matt can attest to it and so can baggs.. we went there after a game one nite... and in the winter months you will most definately run into a few blackhawks players there after a game.. they hang there alot......

 

hmmm... another place i like is shulas steak house on north water street.......if your into meat then thats the place to go........affordable and some of the best steaks around.......

 

theres a little rib place on the south side (in the bad neighborhood) but they have the best ribs.. leons rib shack on 79th........they are cheap and good.. very good.......

 

ricobenes on 26th ( close to comiskey park) has the best fried steak sandwiches on the earth........they are very affordable........and you can sit down and enjoy good eats there.......they also have italian food.........

 

there ya have it .. some of my favorite places to eat in the city..........

leon is the best, ref to pizza, she is drunk and doesn't know what she is talking about. :D

 

if you like mexican try nevo leons on 18 and blue island and only in the morning, wouldn't recommend that in the evening.

 

ref to deep dish try geno's east.

genos is over rated and you can get that here in the burbs..... its only special and good food if you have to make the trip into the city ;) ...............

I'll add that I am not a big fan of Geno's East. The crust has some kind of cornmeal or something in it that I don't like. Hell, I can get better "Chicago style" pizza here in Birmingham than Geno's.

 

I have been to either Uno or Due, just can't remember which. I also thought Giordanno's was good.

yeah right and what is your take on home run inn pizza.

lol ldf.. what do ya know about good pizza your down south.......pizza hut is the best you guys get unless its a tombstone from the freezer.....if its the home run in the city then ok.. but like all good things that come to an end, you can get that out here too now and it sucks........something gets lost in the trip to the burbs i think......... ;)

 

rex yes the two are related company wise that is.. as for giordonos.. i can get that right up the street from my house....its ok if you are in a jam... but not quite the quality of a due's..............

so before home run started to expand, there was only one home run inn pizza place in town and that was on 31 and off kostner.

 

lady, remember i used to live in chi and roam a lot in what i still consider my home town. :lol:

btw you are right about the pizza down here. dominos is the best with pizza hut.

 

my family just came in from chi and brought me a care package, i have beef sandwiches from cursoe, gyro's from kings and queens, 5 family size pizza from falcos and home run inn, fresh kobashi from 22 nd and in bewyn, fresh pavalone cheese from freddy's and of course some fresh italian suasage. :cheers
