The Best Cinnamon Rolls In Chicago | Legendary Eats

  • In the late 1980s, cinnamon roll shops began opening up across the country. Bakery giants like Cinnabon and T.J. Cinnamons gained national attention, and in Chicago alone, there were already a dozen specialty cinnamon roll shops. With the rise of America's appetite for cinnamon rolls, how did a small mom-and-pop called Ann Sather withstand the intense competition and test of time? We visited the original restaurant in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood to get a closer look at how the iconic cinnamon rolls are made and learn why they are so loved by the local community.
    Editor's Note: Insider visited Ann Sather's in March 2020, before Chicago restaurants closed to dine-in service. The restaurant has reopened for limited dine-in and outdoor service, and you can still order cinnamon rolls and more for pickup and delivery. For more information, visit: www.annsather.com

Beside Ann Sather (obviously!), I recommend eating Chicago style deep dish and/or stuffed pizza, a real Chicago hot dog, and authentic Mexican food. I would also watch the youtube channel "Chicago's Best" for the most up to date food recommendations.

      It means the recipe in the cookbook is not the complete recipe. Something is left out, but not too much that you don't have a cinnamon roll recipe. The dry mix is probably proprietary and mixed in some warehouse just for the bakery.

    I made a deal with my parents that if I pass my final two semesters of college we take a trip to Chicago in the summer for my graduation present. Now I'm really gonna work hard to earn it because aside from the attractions I hope to see, there are four foods I REALLY want to try:
    1. Deep Dish Pizza from Giordano's
    2. An Italian Beef Sandwich from Al's
    3. A Northside Twist Pretzel at Wrigley Field
    4. A Cinnamon Roll from Ann Sather's

    Okay great video and I am so glad Ann Sathers is getting recognition because it is amazing, however the narrator mispronounced it the entire time. Listen to how the other people say it (Sathers not Saythers), that’s how it is really said.
