Tips for Gastronomy

Chicago Hot Dog Rules

An authentic Chicago hot dog features yellow mustard, chopped onion, neon green relish, a pickle, tomato slices, sport peppers and a pinch of celery salt, all on a poppy seed bun. You NEVER put ketchup in it.

Deep-Dish Pizza Requires Patience

Ordering a deep-dish pizza is not fast food. It takes about 45 minutes to bake, so grab an appetizer and relax.

Explore Neighborhoods to Eat

The best and most authentic restaurants are not always in the center. Go to West Loop for fine dining, Pilsen for Mexican food, or Argyle Street for Vietnamese.
