Yeah, Chicago!! I’m from just south of there. When you come visit, I know there will be great places that never knew. Thanks for casting such good light on us, Chicagoians are salt of the earth people and will do anything for a neighbor, or a stranger. Happy, and safe travels to you and your wife. Hope your folks are doing well, as well as your wife’s family 🙂

Because what you are hearing about are happening in isolated parts of a large city.

I agree about Chicago people, especially south side. I grew up in Berwyn and then moved to Omaha. Chicago people are so much nicer and just all around decent people. There are people from all walks of life that live in peace together. Omaha has a whole bunch of low key racism. I never heard anyone say to another "speak English, this is America" until I moved to Omaha.
What Mikey said about cheap food resonates with me so hard as somebody growing up frugal and is now a struggling college studentt. Good food is just 100x better when you know you got it at a bargain price.
We’ve been having to travel to Chicago for our sons doctors appointments and this was a perfectly timed video, we went to Lawrence fish market yesterday because of your video, and the sushi was AMAZING, it absolutely tasted super fresh and was better than I’ve ever had in the QC. Thank you for the great suggestion!

Don't expect real white tuna (Albacore) at that price, it's most likely Escolar.
Love that you go around and visit smaller restaurants in the suburbs! If you're ever in Schaumburg, stop my parent's restaurant, Asian Noodle House! They serve Malaysian food (bak kut teh, curry laksa, nasi lemak, etc) alongside other typical fast casual Chinese/Asian dishes. We can even get you our off the menu items :)

Hey Mikey, it looks like the video for Nini's got cut which is understandable, but the audio got missed! Just a heads up that you're probably aware of, but just in case! Hopefully this can help for other people like me who were confused about the out of sync audio as well.
I love all your videos but...Good to see an affordable food video and relatable content Mike 👍
Definitely make the cheap eats a series on your channel. I love finding excellent food at a low price, seems exceedingly hard in the states anymore, but I know they're out there.
Drove an hour to bakery crescent for my birthday a few days ago and I gotta say the drive was absolutely worth it! The yakisoba bun was something to die for! And the lady working was such a sweet heart ❤️ thinking about going back real soon! Thanks for sharing mike!

Boba Burger, who would've guessed by the location but their food is top quality and service is fantastic 😍

Crescent Bakery's loaf of bread is awesome.....you can choose from their thick or thin sliced options. They may even have one that's uncut but I'm not positive.
Why did you blur the brand on your jacket ?

My local servo makes the best egg ham and lettuce sandwiches….their lettuce is sliced so thin….it stays crunchy without making the bread soggy….it is delicious 🤤
Hey Mike! I know you came to Rhode Island for the Nordic Lodge experience but there are a ton more smaller places that you would love. Best seafood and portugese/Italian food in my opinion!
sushi!! yes please

I don't know about the rest of Brazil, but in Rio de Janeiro we love guava and cheese. We have cheesecake, pizza, croissant, ice cream... Guava means goiaba, but there's a sweet made with it called goiabada. Witch melts like a syrup and that is what goes with the cheese in all those recipes. You will find "goiabada com queijo" everywhere here 😆
