Answer 1

Alinea is AWESOME if you are willing to drop a lot of $

Coco-Pazzo is an excellent Italian place!



Topolobampo and Frontera Grill are tasty mexican.



I prefer Gino's East if we're talking about Pizza...it's all about the corn meal crust!



Sopraffina has excellent salads and pizza for lunch M-F.



Potbelly is cheap and good toasted sandwiches.



Portillos is a classic for Hot-dogs!



Oh and i almost forgot, Paradise Pup for burgers is really awesome! That merkt's cheese is sooo good on it!

Answer 3

Depends on whether you're limiting yourself to the downtown area or the Chicago metro area. At any rate, both of my answers are German restaurants. Berghoff's on Adams St. is my favorite in town. Absolutely wonderful proprietary beers, the food is to die for, and the desserts are worth every penny. Plus the interior is quite nice, and it's right in the middle of a lot of really cool places, literally walking distance to most of the best museums, the symphony hall, and of course, the lake! Out in the suburbs, Chef Paul's Bavarian Restaurant in Lisle takes the cake--literally. I had the best piece of Black Forest Cherry Cake I've ever tasted in my life there, and the food and beer were absolutely fabulous.

Answer 4

If you're looking for Korean food, Chicago Kalbi comes recommended. There's a wall of pictures (Chicago Bulls - the Jordan era)



How about Japanese? Try Kohan near UIC.

Answer 5

SOOOOO many to choose from...



Ribs-Gale Street Inn on Milwaukee, right across the street from Jefferson Park Blue Line.



Pizza-JB Albertos, Giordannos, Lou Malnati!!!



Polish Sausage-Maxwell Street Polish is absolutely amazing!



Burgers-Moody's Pub on Broadway



Seafood-Cy's Crabhouse on Ashland



Chinese-Engs Asian Cuisine on Western



Thai-Thai Spice on Devon



Japanese-Matsuya on Clark

Answer 6

So many choices. Chicago is a wonderful restaurant town.



For a classy, nice dinner out, I would recommend:

Spring (Wicker Park)

La Fette (Old Town)

Narcisse (River North)



But don't neglect all the wonderful ethnic spots, either!

Answer 7

That's a tough one .But I would recomend Lou Minaldies Pizza.If I remember correctly it's located on Ontario street in the downtown area.They have the best deep dish pizza in the world.If your visiting Chicago that's the place you want to go.

Answer 8

Berghoff's is no more.



Tourist restaraunts are for suckers.



Hot Dogs - The Weiner's Circle on Clark, or Superdawg.



Pizza - Giordano's, Amato's, or Pequod's on Clark.



Thai - Cozy's on Sheffield at Clark.



Seafood - Local Option/Local Shack on Webster.



Mexican - Las Fuentes on Halsted.



Turkish - Cousin's on Broadway.



Greek - Athenian Room on Webster at Halsted.



Chinese - Yen's on Clark, or any restaurant with a number in its name in Chinatown....
