I feel like the food is really a strong point for Chicago? I get da Bears, totally, but the food? Not sure
Chicago has an incredible food scene across the entire cuisine spectrum and only 1 thing on the list is "Chicago Style" (the hot dog)
while I wouldnt consider it on the same tier as like nola/creole/cajun cuisine for example, but its distinctive enough to get a name.
Food IN Chicago is good. The use of "Chicago style" outside of Chicago is largely a label for "this shit sucks."
Chicago Style "deep dish" is an affront to both to god and the deliciousness that is Detroit Style deep dish
