Lou Mitchell’s: 100+ year old diner, where Chris grew up going with his family. This is the first place Chris and Maggie became regulars after moving to Chicago!


Kasama: Critically acclaimed Filipino spot that serves incredible pastries. We recommend getting there before open to get in line for breakfast. If you get lucky, order online, exactly at 9:00am, expect a wait.


JJ’s Street Thai: This West Town Spot features our favorite Thai food in the city! Don't miss their Chicken Satay.


Mr Beef: Classic Italian Beef spot and filming location for The Bear! Bring cash and practice your order.


Virtue: Southern American restaurant in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. While every dish is incredible, don't miss dessert.


Small Cheval: Multi-location burger joint, and spin-off of critically acclaimed Au Cheval. A signature double cheeseburger with their golden fries hits every time.


Chef's Special: Cocktail bar featuring fun takes on Chinese-American cuisine. Our favorite dishes here include the crab rangoon, the smashed cucumbers, and the rolled noodles.


Armitage Alehouse: English pub with 1920's decor, featuring classic dishes like pot pies, fish & chips, and tikka masala.


Mindy's Bakery: European-inspired bakery, famous for its rich hot chocolate. Check the website to learn about what comes out of the oven when!


Michael's Pizza: Discover the pizza that Chicagoans actually eat: tavern-style! This pizza is made with a crispy-crackery crust, and pairs best with their fennel forward sausage, onions, and green peppers.

Things to Do in the City

Architecture Tour: The city's skyscrapers are exceptionally beautiful by boat. Our favorite is Wendella's 90 Minute Boat Tour. Bundle up - because the Windy City is chilly on the water!


Art Institute of Chicago: This museum is located on the Magnificent Mile, with art from a variety of time periods. One of the most famous pieces is Sunday in the Park with George. Chris and Maggie love the exhibits in the basement, like the miniatures!


Live Music & Theater: Visit one of the city's venues, like the iconic Chicago Theatre, Auditorium Theatre, or the Nederlander Theatre.


Gangnam Market: Asian food hall & specialty market located underneath Chris and Maggie's apartment.


Museum Campus: This is home to several amazing Chicago icons, like the Field Museum, the Alder Planetarium, and The Shedd Aquarium.
