Look out Chicago, I'm coming to eat All the Things!

Ah, Chicago... You'll come for the food, you'll stay because you were murdered.
At least, I think that's the unofficial city motto.

I know you were all desperately curious for an update.

Nick's gyro
Giordano's pizza
Portillo's beef and cheddar
Garrett caramel corn
July 4 cookout with Midwestern staples (giant burger, taffy Apple salad, and ice cream)
And my brother-in-law's favorite doughnut place in Joliet

I ran between the raindrops one morning, and learned that humidity and I are no longer friends.

I'm up 1 pound and it's probably water weight, as I just flew back yesterday. Totally worth it.

Ya thanks to your post I had to go to the city last weekend to get some Philly's Best. It was just as good as I remembered!

Since it is a little over an hour drive we also had to get dessert. Holy crap! http://www.bangbangpie.com/ I had the coffee blondie pie: baked coffee chess, whipped cream, spiced almonds, shortbread crust. So tasty!!

I hope the pizza was as good as you remembered.

Yum, that pie looks delicious! Maybe I will cave to my family's request to visit for thanksgiving, especially because I just realized I didn't get any corn! You would think that corn would be the same everywhere, but the $1/sad looking ear California corn just can't measure up.
