Traveling to Chicago

Also, I asked my foodie friend for more recommendations. She said, no question, a night of Chicago-style pizza is a must (which I figured you're already planning anyways), and said that while she likes Lou Malnati's like me (we both grew up together in a suburb that had one of the chain), she recommends Pizano's as the best in the city. She also strongly recommends Scooter's Frozen Custard for a refreshing sweet treat. And I must say, though I haven't tried Scooter's yet, every time she posts a photo from the restaurant on Facebook I long a little more for a taste.

I don't remember if I ever ate Lou Malnati's pizza, but Giordano's is a pretty great place as well. There's also Ricobene's in terms of a Chicago oriented restaurant. The king-sized breaded steak sandwich is pretty much the reason you want to eat there. It's a food coma inducing sandwich that's well worth it. Heck, I bet that you can share that with your significant other and both of you will be full from that alone. The pizza and snadwiches in general aren't bad at all, and the local cops frequently dine there, so you can be sure that place will be safe to eat. Haha.
