Chicago Food Tour 🍕 4 Days, 3 Nights, 8 Trendy Restaurants 🍽️

Just finished hitting up most of the hyped spots in Chicago! Here’s the rundown: 🍕 Giordano’s Deep-Dish Pizza & 🌭 Portillo’s Hot Dog Classic Chicago staples—worth trying, but not mind-blowing. For Giordano’s, order BBQ + Classic half & half, and ask for extra crispy crust (bottom gets super crunchy!). Be prepared to wait 45 minutes ⏳. 🍔 McDonald’s HQ (Hamburger University) Global Favorites Menu changes weekly—fun to try, but flavors are just okay. ☕️ World’s Largest Starbucks Lines are crazy long 😅, but food and pastries restock regularly. When they said the pistachio croissant was out, it came back 5 minutes later—so wait a bit if you really want something! 🐷 The Purple Pig Overhyped, in my opinion. Every dish was too salty and overpriced. Not worth it. 🥘 JJ Thai Average Thai food—no need to go out of your way. 🍣 Momotaro A Michelin-starred spot, but honestly… not memorable. If this is three-star level, the standards might be off 😅. But the price isn’t three-star level either, so fair enough. ⭐ The Only Semi-Winner: Kasama Ordered online at 9:00 AM for pickup. 🥐 Weekend-only Foie Gras Danish – Amazing! 🐟 Salmon Danish – Just okay. 🫐 Blueberry Tart – Huge and high-quality, though the cream was a bit sweet. 🍄 Black Truffle Croissant – Filling was skimpy and too rich. 🧋 Te'amo Bubble Tea If you pass by, grab one! I tried the Creme Brûlée Milk Tea with osmanthus oolong tea base—turned into a floral osmanthus oolong milk tea. So good! #USA #Chicago #Travel #FoodieLife #Pizza #Starbucks #McDonalds #Burgers #HotDogs
