I bet he actually would’ve spent time talking. Was it like Ed Debevic’s or something

Also do you need any Chicago recommendations for anything (like a blues bar for at night after a day game, other stuff, bc I feel like there’s a few good breakfast places)

Sunday's the only day game but I'm flying back in the afternoon to avoid Monday travel chaos (and have a recovery day at home). I'll take whatever food recs you've got! I'm honestly super picky lol but I will always look.

I eat like a 5 year old… so I get that… I also feel like you’d then probably like the boat architecture tour just going thru the river. If you were a Conan fan, and remember triumph at the hot dog place with the funny signs Weiner’s Circle. There was a pancakes place in river north escaping me.

But also Portillo’s for your normal Chicago dog/italian beef. Then your deep dish options are different on what you want between Lou Malnati’s/Gino’s. But my friends are always Lou’s people. And there’s one by the river.

Ha, I'm probably doing the boat tour tomorrow. I've done it a bunch but it's always a good time. Was it Wildberry? That's where I was earlier 🤣 They have one in River North.

I also didn’t know how often you’ve been to Chicago. Just a little more heightened awareness on the el than you’d have in the subway (and I’m obv not THAT guy), but I wouldn’t sleep on the el, and would be ok doing it on the subway

Thanks! I'll check it out. Did Portillo's yesterday. My entire family has been trying to get me on the deep dish train (competing factions too lol) but I just don't think it's for me.

There’s also bar pizza. I just don’t like pizza (I know I know) bc I don’t like tomato sauce
