That’s gotta be the most Chicago thing I have ever heard. A van was passing by and a goat fell off and walked through the front door 🤣
Not gonna lie, Anna Sather's cinnamon rolls have to be sprinkled with crack. They're the best sweet thing to eat in Chicago. It's easily the best cinnamon rolls you'll eat anywhere.

I went to Chicago for the first time 2 years ago. I loved every thing I ate. I went to Portillo's. Their chocolate cake was amazing. Their chocolate cake shake was heavenly. I wish that I lived closer to Chicago. I live in Kentucky.

Shout out from Chicago-born expat now living in Seoul! After viewing this video, I realized I could have just flown into Chicago, put myself into a food-induced hibernation coma, and skipped the year 2020 altogether! Well, now I have something to look forward in 2021. I Hope these establishments are still getting much love from the surrounding communities to make it through this pandemic. Stay strong, Chicago, "City of the Big Shoulders"!
I literally live there and I’ve only had 2 of these: Portillo’s and Garrett popcorn. I like Portillo’s but Garrett’s always has such a long line!!

Nice video, EXCEPT for the excessive number of ads. Look, I get that you need ads to pay the bills, but 2-3 ad interruptions per segment is ridiculous!
I am in the first trimester of my first pregnancy and all I WANT is ALL the food in this video😪😪😪 omg the carb cravings are REAL😂😂😂
Chicago native gives a thumbs up you went to places I grew up loving and yasss Garrett popcorn a keep ya coming back childhood favorite xoxo
This is produced very well and the host is quite likable.
Jibaritos y mas def gets my Puerto Rican seal of approval, a lot of places here aren’t as good at the Latin side of Caribbean cuisine and I can tell you Jibaritos y mas is amazing
I live in chicogo so when I saw this video I was like YASSSSS
Garretts.. well that,s just some Chicago lovin
So helpful to find good spots to go! Thank you!
Brings back so many Taste of Chicago memories.
You got some video in my ad.. great video though, can’t wait to visit Chicago!
The craziest thing about this video is that she didn't even scratch the surface of the dozens of delicious restaurants that Chicago and its suburbs have to offer.
Going to Chi town for my bday in February. So excited to try all of these!!! (From Toronto)
last time i was in chicago was 2018, time to go back and try some of this.
those bang bang pies look delectable, i'm just salivating at the thought of trying them
Love the long format
happy late new year's I was late for the new year's you and mashed make the most best food content
I live in northwest Indiana, so I live close enough to hit the outskirts of Chicago and get back home, I'm a sucker for a great Italian beef and a tavern style pizza
Planning to go to Chicago during Spring break, Cant wait to go to these places.
Car(A)mel there are two A's in the word!!
This is amazing!
Really good mix of places 👌
Garrett opened many branches in SG and the chicago mix is still the best!
Garfunkels Flava looks amazing. Love some jerk chicken with rice & beans. Always a firm favourite here in Bristol England.......along with goat curry of course!
Portillos Garrett's Popcorn Ann Sathers Bang Bang Pie Billy's Tavern Garfunkel flava Manny's Deli Jibaritos y Mas Batter and Berries Johnnie's beef
I'm glad they gave a shoutout to my hometown popcorn shop, Candyland, in St. Paul, Minnesota. They really do make great Chicago Mix popcorn!
Wow I'd really like to try it. Cheers from Brazil

Can’t wait to go to Portillo’s and Johnnies
Interesting what the Caribbean dude said about using the weight of chicken to check doneness, as opposed to (or in addition to) color/smell/feel. Must be a sense from cooking thousands of similar pieces that he can pick it up and know. Never thought about weight of food before but it makes sense.

Anyone just skipping the video and watching just foods like me?😆

I've never had cinnamon rolls but I would love to eat a whole tray of Anne Sather's.
Yes!!! Just the video I needed 🎉🎊😁

Man that cake shake is something to die for, that's probably like one month intake worth of sugar in a single drink lol

I can’t believe they went to my hometown for some Portillos! Shout out to Summit Argo
Excellent video. Thanks. If you do Mexican you need to showcase La Alcancia in Carpentersville, Illinois. Best tacos tortas and burritos in the Chicagoland area.
As a home cook, the best tip I've learned is rolling on the diagonal from Ann Sather.
Has to stop the video to buzz in my delivery of fresh cinnamon rolls. I live two blocks from an Ann Sathers. Updated to mention I finally had a jibarito, it was awesome.
