To satisfy my friends desire to make Chinese food (she doesn't have a kitchen) we made (and subsequently ate the better part of) hundreds of pork dumplings.
You Chicago people are on to something with that Italian Beef thing.
Fuck yeah, motherfucker. Get some hot peppers and dip that shit. Al's Beef on Taylor is the best.
EDIT: Shit, read my earlier post after posting this and am now imagining a Greggs Italian Beef Bake, stuffed with peppers and beef and dipped in gravy. I have something to try when I get back to the 773.
I've always wanted to try a Chicago-style hot dog. Seems interesting to me.
It's the real hot dog. Accept no substitutes.
I will grant you that other places have very fine examples of encased meat sandwiches, New York among them, but Chicago once produced the largest amount of sausages in the US, and we elevated that shit to a fucking art.Hot Doug's is arguably the best hot dog joint in Chicago if not the country, and they bill themselves as an Encased Meat Emporium. I recommend the Foie Gras Dog, any of the Gourmet Specials (rabbit and brie is supposed to be choice), a Chicago Dog, and a side of the duck fat fries.

Except for a you know. A real hotdog. Like from Rutt's Hut. Rippers all the way baby...
Half of a meal is presentation. If you were offered two equally delicious steaks, one on a plate and one on a garbage can lid, which would you choose?
Not only this, but there is more to food than just taste. Texture, flavor combinations, and portions are very important when it comes to well cooked food. Presentation helps the eater identify and enjoy each of these in conjunction with the actual taste of the food. Just serving a glop of food, no matter how delicious, ruins the experience somewhat.

I have a total food boner for this place. Can it get any better!?
