Chicago, UNITED STATES

Move beyond the stereotypical deep-dish pizza to sample the thriving dining scene in Chicago. Superdawg (superdawg.com), at the intersection of Devon, Nagle, and Milwaukee, is a popular drive-in for hot dogs. Chef Darnell Reed’s cosy Lincoln Square restaurant, Luella’s Southern Kitchen (luellassouthernkitchen.com), dedicated to his great-grandma Luella, serves some of the city’s best Southern food, including cream shrimp and grits, chicken gumbo, and a mighty platter of fried chicken and waffles. Honey Butter Fried Chicken (honeybutter.com) is a North side favourite. Legendary pizza maker Burt Katz’s legacy lives on at his Morton Grove restaurant, Burt’s Place (burts-place.com), that Anthony Bourdain famously visited in 2009. visitchicago.com
