The pizza here is way overrated. There are some good ones, like Arturo's on Houston, but most I find are pretty meh.
Hot dogs here...nothing to write home about.
The steak is good, but many steakhouses are indistinguishable from one another.
I will say that a lot of the Asian fusion and the Italian is pretty fucking good, though.
Chicago is a great food town. I'd put Gibson's against any NYC steakhouse (I'm so sick of the NY-style Luger sliced porterhouse shit myself), and they have something we don't have here that's amazing--Italian beef.
Try Luke's in Chicago for the Italian beef. They even make a killer pizza that way.
At Walter's, on Palmer Ave. in Mamaroneck. Served from the same roadside stand since 1923. Secret recipe, split down the middle and cooked on a griddle with a toasted bun and special mustard with bits of pickle in it. Superb. I will pick you up and take you there sometime, but only if you wear a mini-skirt and 4" heels.
Many of us who grew up in western NY have fond memories of "white hots." I still buy them and bring them back to Manhattan when I go up there. The main purveyor is Zweigle's. They don't seem as spicy as I remember them from my youth, but then the extraordinary women of TER are so much hotter than any other experience I've been spoiled!
Herewith the Wikipedia white hot description:
The white hot is a variation on the hot dog found in Rochester, New York, and the upstate area. It is composed of some combination of uncured and unsmoked pork, beef, and veal; the lack of smoking or curing allows the meat to retain a naturally white color. White hots usually contain mustard and other spices, and often include a dairy component such as nonfat dry milk.
Hot dogs are one of my least favorite meats. The last time I ate a real hot dog was so long ago that I cannot even remember it.
My favorite foods are pizza, Tibetan food, Japanese food, Chinese food, burritos, tacos, Indian food, Ethiopian food, fresh veggies and fruits; in no particular order.
When I do have my monthly meat/fish indulgence, it's usually chicken and waffles and sushi.
