🇺🇸 Chicago's "Big Four" Must-Try Foods! 🍕🌭🍿☕

Save this list – these iconic Chicago eats are totally worth it (and yes, most have multiple locations!) 😋 🍕 Giordano’s The legendary deep-dish pizza 🧀! Even the smallest size is enough for two. One slice fills you up – perfect for leftovers the next morning 🍽️. ✅ Try the Classic + BBQ Chicken half-and-half: one side with rich tomato sauce, the other with smoky BBQ – so you won’t get bored! 🔥 Pro tip: Ask for "extra toast crust" for an ultra-crispy edge! ——— 🌭 Portillo’s A Chicago classic! Not your average hot dog 🌭✨ – served in a poppy seed bun with pickles, jalapeños, and a tangy mustard layer. The sausage is garlicky and juicy 💦! (Their beef sandwich also looks amazing 😍) ——— 🍿 Garrett Popcorn A local favorite and perfect souvenir 🎁! 🧡 Try the famous Garrett Mix: caramel + cheddar cheese – the cheesiest ever! Sweet & salty perfection 🤤 🌰 Their caramel nuts (pecans & cashews) are also super crunchy and generous. You can mix and match! ⚠️ Almond version is seasonal – better pre-order or ask in store. ——— ☕ Starbucks Reserve Roastery One of Starbucks’ global flagship stores with 5 stunning floors 🏢💫 Prices are higher, but the vibe and experience are worth it! 💜 Iced Ube Coconut Latte: Toasted coconut flakes + sweet ube foam – a must-try! 🌸 Sakura Float: Pretty but pricey ($12) – basically syrup soda with a scoop of ice cream 🍦 🥐 Rosewater Pistachio Cornetto: Rich pistachio filling with rose white chocolate – a bit sweet but very insta-worthy! #Chicago #ChicagoEats #ChicagoFood #ChicagoTravel #ChicagoLife #FoodieGuide #GlobalEats #StudyAbroadEats
