Deep dish

The lifeblood of Chicago. The cheese and sauce runs in our veins.

Speaking of cheese — cheese curds are a Midwest essential, and

@Burt’s Place⁠

makes some great fried cheese curds.

Well, nothing too much to say here.

@Pequod’s Pizza⁠

— that’s the place to go, no question about it.

Reserve a table⁠

, don’t come too hungry (it’ll take a good 30 mins to make at least).

Do not go to Gior-🤮. If you’re in such a dire situation there’s always

@Lou Malnati’s⁠

& their delicious butter crust. Always order butter crust if you're getting Lou’s.

My Notes

THE place for deep dish in Chicago. Hands down. Alternately you can go to

@Burt’s Place

⁠

in Morton Grove if you’re in the burbs, which has similar origins (sort of the same place).
