Chicago

I get to Chicago once a year usually.  Here are places I go back to over and over.

Bavette’s for a great steak and the best wedge salad I’ve ever had (pic above).

Xoco (Rick Bayless’ casual breakfast and lunch joint) for huevos rancheros or my favorite
sandwich in the world, his drowned pork (Torta Ahogada).

For a hip place, try The Girl and the Goat.  Incredible breads with chutneys and jams you will not expect.  Lost of dishes with duck including these duck empanadas.

Rick Bayless’ high-end joint is Topolobampo.  Spectacular Mexican food.  Best Pozole!
