Sample these longtime favorites and eat like a local! 1. Bite into a famed Chicago-style hot dog: an all-beef frank nestled in a poppy seed bun and loaded with toppings that include yellow mustard, sweet relish, diced onions, tomato wedges, a pickle spear, sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt — just don’t ask for ketchup! 2. You can’t leave Chicago without diving into a deep dish pizza. This literal pie is filled with loads of mozzarella cheese and topped with tangy tomato sauce. 3. The Original Rainbow Cone lives up to its moniker, stacked high with colorful ice cream flavors that include strawberry and pistachio. 4. Grab an Italian beef sandwich, layered with thin slices of beef simmered in au jus and topped with sweet or hot peppers (ask to have yours dipped). 5. Try the jibarito, a tasty fried Puerto Rican plantain sandwich stuffed with your choice of meat, seafood, or vegetables. 6. Dessert lovers simply can’t resist the layered caramel cake from Brown Sugar Bakery, made by James Beard Award-nominated pastry chef Stephanie Hart.
