Giordano's, Gino's East, and Lou Malnati's are the best pizza places. I'm not the biggest fan of the deep dish style as it makes me feel like shite after since it's so heavy, but it's still delicious

Great city. Have fun

Try Al's as well if you have time.

Graham Elliot is one hell of a meal. Depending on how up tight you're looking for, alinea is reminiscent of the type of experience you'll receive at per se or the French laundry.

"Chicago" is a big place, so it would help to know where you were and what type of experience you're looking for.

If you like beer, hit up Goose Island brewpub in Wrigleyville. They have excellent pub food, and many beers that they don't bottle. Last time I was there they had at least three different stouts of theirs on tap.


Out towards O'Hare in Wheeling, there's Bob Chinn's crab house who feature a seemingly crazy combination of sashimi, Kona crab and a killer Mai Tai, which sounds outlandish, but somehow it works.

I'll second the Uno recommendation as far as pizza. Be it known that Chicago Za is a whole different animal than you're probably used to.

It's not pizza but Big Star is the best restaurant in Chicago, and I haven't found anything even moderately comparable.
