Visiting Chicago? There are three main foods you have to try: Deep-Dish Pizza, Chicago Dogs, and Italian Beef. Chicago’s Deep-Dish Pizza starts out with a thick dough, piled with cheese and other ingredients that you’d like, then the sauce tops it off. Your Chicago Dog will come in a poppy seed bun. It will include relish, tomato wedges (not ketchup), a pickle spear, hot peppers, yellow mustard, and a sprinkle of celery salt. You can order an Italian beef sandwich in hot or sweet. We recommend dipping it in a side of au jus (typically referred to as gravy).
These are the iconic staples, but Chicago is also filled with other choices, including a number of gourmet options.
