Aww her grandpa is adorable! Also, massive bonus points for her pun about the Mexican ramen. I really like her a lot. I hope at some point she is comfortable being on camera so we can officially “meet” her

"I'm excited to consommé it" ...she's a keeper, Mikey!! :D

Giggity. She's definitely a keeper.

Roasted garlic is to vegetables what marrow is to meat. Just pure, satisfying bliss.

Yeah!! My man meeting the family and eating out with them. 🔥 That is a masterful plan. 🧐 Makes for some nice content as well. Good to see ya letting us see some of the interactions and the family. Miss you in Texas but love to see you doing good. ❤ Stay safe. 🙏❤

You've met your future self, and the way he smiled he had my heart. The Mexican noodles is my next try looked super good. Stay safe and enjoy your life, as always your biggest fan from Arkansas 😉👍🏻

The respect you have you have her family is amazing and her grandpa is about as cute as they come 💗 I'm so happy that you two found each other

The look on Mikey’s face when he said, “There’s no beating our meat.” It had my dying. 😂

That lightning bolt was a nice touch. The Mexican Ramen and taco combination looked amazing! Cheers to you, Christine and her family!

I cannot tell you how selfishly excited I am that Mike is back in the Midwest. Now I am so close to his recommendations so I can experience sooner than my food wishlist from his other videos. ☺

Best part of the video....Christine's grandparents. What a blessing for them to be alive and active

YOU & CHRISTINE ARE JUST TOO GREAT WITH EACH OTHER! LOVE YOUR INTERACTIONS THAT JUST SEEMS SO COMFORTABLE & CARING! HOPE ALL IS GOING WELL WITH YOUR RELATIONSHIP GROWING INTO SOMETHING OF A PERFECT ENDING! :)

THE most sweetest "of course" i've ever heard! I'm happy for the both of you! ❤

While watching this, I was eating 2 packs of Jin ramen mild and a small bowl of squash and string beans in coconut cream over rice. I was so full after drinking 1/2 a liter of pepsi after the meal. I always watch Mikey and other food vloggers while eating to make my food more appetizing.

As a Chicago-land Resident, I'm so happy to see recommendations from you for local restaurants to try. I will for sure check these places out, Mikey! Thanks for recommending these places!

So many people may say this often, but the way that Mikey explains the details of the food is absolutely exquisite. . . I'm full and already starving. . . 🤤

Dark crusted pizza - the flavors it develops, pure heaven 😋 Nice to meet Christine's grandpa (he seems to be a nice guy!) and looks she got all the good eater genes from him 😄 And last, that lightning had to crack at 17:15 when Mike made the "sinister laught" for a better effect 🤣

Love that you took Christina and took her grandparents out to eat all day Love it❤❤❤

Hi Mike, LOOOVVEE your videos!

Wow!!! You captured that amazing lighting in the background at the very end! Of course all the food looked amazing! Thank you for sharing.

Mickey, your videos make people happy as much as you are def happy making them. Win/win situation. Never stop making them ❤️

I have been follow your channel for years!! Thanks you for showing me such a great journey of your. Thanks you.

I can finally say I've been to a couple places Mikey has been! Loving all these Chicago videos!

Welcome Mikey and Christine to Chicago. So happy you found great eats here. I appreciate your Daruma restaurant episode. I’ve not been back for years, now will I have to go back there soon.

Your videos normally make me hungry but this has to be one of the best food videos you've made. Everything looked so good. I have to try that Mexican ramen.

So awesome you came through the suburbs of Chicagoland! Looking forward to trying out those places you went to! Mexican ramen wow!

Omg I love your video you always make me want to go try new things. everything you eat looks amazing!!!

LOVE LOVE seeing the fam💞

Wow! That looks delicious. 👍😋😊 That dessert looks awesome. 👀 A little shaved ice bear. The doughnut looked so good. Deep dish pizza....yummy! The burger looks great. I love ramen. Yum. 👍😊 Cute stuffed animal. Grandpa has a great appetite. Mexican noodles? That looks very good. Thank you for sharing this video with us. 👍🇨🇦😊

I simply love the excitement coming from Mikey

Love watching your videos Mikey!!!

I'm so freaking excited and happy for you guys! I knew you'd find the one Man. I can't wait to see your new family food adventures! She's even punny she's perfect!

I am so happy you are exploring my neighborhood!!! I love that mitsuwa that Ramen is AMAZING!!!

Love ur vids so much, you are the best, keep up the great work

Welcome to Chicago. Saw your last episode in Chinatown. Never been to Te Amo bakery. Will be trying it out soon. Also appreciate your Ramen restaurant review. LOL. Saw you were by Roscoe Village and the Ten-cafe Boba drinks. My sister and I just found this place ourselves. Minutes from my home. Love their mango tea with the boba balls. Have a good and safe trip while you are here.

Great to see you around Chicago-based areas! A really good burger place I found out about this past summer is MAK's House in La Grange, so maybe give it a try if you'd like to, if you end up around that area.

that looks like the perfect deep dish! in between that ridiculous deep dish and thin. love how well done it is and alost looks like you could pick it up and the topping are on top, i hate when the meat is below as it never gets crispy!

Love the video mikey! 😍

The taco and Mexican ramen looked delicious, but I started getting the meat sweats just looking at the meal! I can’t imagine so much food in a day! Love your videos!

I feel so much excitement!!! Finally get to try the places Mikey goes! Wahooooooo

thanks for all the Chi-town recs, plan on visiting soon :)

Wow I'm never this early! Awesome I look forward to these videos so much being stuck in lockdown

This looked absolutely amazing!!! I gotta get somewhere that serves this fast!!! Wow I’m almost drooling on myself!!!

I have been very busy life lately that I haven’t been able to watch your videos. I forgot how entertaining they are and hungry they make me!!!!!

Always love your video

The Mexican Ramen had my father's and I mouth watering, we love your videos!!

OMG! I used to go to Pequod's when I worked around there all the time! I miss it so much!

I never realized that Pequod's has a second location. Looks like the one in the video is the one in Morton Grove. The address listed in the description is the main location, and not the one in the video. That said, Pequod's is one of my favorite pizza places in the world. Whenever I'm in Chicago and want a deep dish, I always go to Pequod's. The crust is just caramelized cheese, and is what really elevates the pizza. Every time I go, I also ask for sausage as one of the toppings, as I was told the sausage is from a house made recipe, and it goes well with any other toppings there.

The Morton Grove location is the original. It was opened by Burt Katz in 1970s. The Chicago location opened much later. BTW Burt sold Pequods and opened up Burt's Place later on. That's the deep dish that Anthony Bourdain ate. I was lucky enough to visit Burt's Place twice before he passed in 2016.

Maaaan I am hooked, you just got a new subscriber. So much great content, cheers from Texas, El Paso to be exact, Hopefully you make your way down here some day.

thats the exact birria ramen i was eating when I last commented on your video!!! good to know i have good taste buds!

If you guys watched that Birria Ramen part and live near Garden Grove CA, a place just opened up in the last year called Birria El Bandido They offer the same instant Ramen birria and birria quesatacos. Really really good. I know there's a lot of OC/Socal peeps watching these :)

I had Pequod’s +10 years ago when visiting a friend. Good stuff. Unique and delicious! 🍕🤤

Hey Mikey, just wanted to point out that Birria is traditionally Goat meat and not beef. There are beef versions, but most of the time it's goat meat. Goat is absolutely delicious when done right, and honestly after trying it for the first time years ago, I really don't understand why it isn't more common over here in the states. Goat curry is one of my favorite dishes, and one of the best meats you can put in a curry!

Man Mikey I feel like I've waited years for you to enjoy Chicago lol. Worth the wait. I'm gonna celebrate my wedding at Durama thanks to you

I wish we had lots of Asian/Japanese supermarkets and food courts here in the UK, like over there in the States, but we don't. We just have very small family run Asian stores.. and they are limited on the stock and foods they carry. I really love the Ippudo, Ichiran, Taiwanese Uni-President, and Nissin 7premium instant ramen, and I have to order them off eBay, they're not cheap that way, plus I have to wait about 2 weeks for them to arrive from Japan.
