Roasted garlic is to vegetables what marrow is to meat. Just pure, satisfying bliss.
Aww her grandpa is adorable! Also, massive bonus points for her pun about the Mexican ramen. I really like her a lot. I hope at some point she is comfortable being on camera so we can officially “meet” her
"I'm excited to consommé it" ...she's a keeper, Mikey!! :D
Giggity. She's definitely a keeper.
After a rather difficult weekend not being able to get my anti depressants refilled, my best friends moving state, this really made my evening.
🙏
*sends virtual hug*
Take care of yourself! 💙💙💙
feel better!!!
I hope you have a better week ahead!
Your videos have been such a blessed distraction for me, Mikey. I lost my husband last week and your videos have been keeping me sane, even just playing in the background so it's not so quiet. Thank you.
Please accept my sincerest condolences 💔 🙏
My condolences, stay strong.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I’m sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry for your loss..be strong
Yeah!! My man meeting the family and eating out with them. 🔥 That is a masterful plan. 🧐 Makes for some nice content as well. Good to see ya letting us see some of the interactions and the family. Miss you in Texas but love to see you doing good.
❤ Stay safe. 🙏❤
You've met your future self, and the way he smiled he had my heart. The Mexican noodles is my next try looked super good. Stay safe and enjoy your life, as always your biggest fan from Arkansas 😉👍🏻
THE most sweetest "of course" i've ever heard! I'm happy for the both of you! ❤
That lightning bolt was a nice touch. The Mexican Ramen and taco combination looked amazing! Cheers to you, Christine and her family!
The respect you have you have her family is amazing and her grandpa is about as cute as they come 💗 I'm so happy that you two found each other
Best part of the video....Christine's grandparents. What a blessing for them to be alive and active
I cannot tell you how selfishly excited I am that Mike is back in the Midwest. Now I am so close to his recommendations so I can experience sooner than my food wishlist from his other videos. ☺
me too, I already looked up these places
Same, I’m right outside Chicago’s western edge!
He eats such copious amount of food during a day, I wonder if he’s bulimic. LOL
@@RoJoMe not gonna lie, I wonder how he can eat so much, I think he works out alot, he's got nice upper body
He’s discussed in other videos that he eats a lot healthier on the days he’s not filming food videos and he does work out too. Let’s try not throwing food disorders around like they’re jokes 😅
YOU & CHRISTINE ARE JUST TOO GREAT WITH EACH OTHER! LOVE YOUR INTERACTIONS THAT JUST SEEMS SO COMFORTABLE & CARING! HOPE ALL IS GOING WELL WITH YOUR RELATIONSHIP GROWING INTO SOMETHING OF A PERFECT ENDING! :)
While watching this, I was eating 2 packs of Jin ramen mild and a small bowl of squash and string beans in coconut cream over rice. I was so full after drinking 1/2 a liter of pepsi after the meal. I always watch Mikey and other food vloggers while eating to make my food more appetizing.
Love that you took Christina and took her grandparents out to eat all day
Love it❤❤❤
Mikey is extra cheesy in this video
in my defense, there was ton of cheese on that pizza
and a lot of fat juice but thats kinda every video

That lightning strike was perfect timing, how awesome was that?!
Wow!!! You captured that amazing lighting in the background at the very end! Of course all the food looked amazing! Thank you for sharing.
Literally drooling after seeing that deep dish pizza.
I’ve not yet found a scrumptious deep dish pizza , here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 … plus a decent pepperoni
@@marty9376 my first Deep Dish back there is from Sbarro Chicago White and it's my favorite.
@@rjheimjr … I hate Sbarro pizzas … I’ve tried 3 times … & still not 3rd time lucky
The look on Mikey’s face when he said, “There’s no beating our meat.” It had my dying. 😂
Omg I love your video you always make me want to go try new things. everything you eat looks amazing!!!
Dark crusted pizza - the flavors it develops, pure heaven 😋
Nice to meet Christine's grandpa (he seems to be a nice guy!) and looks she got all the good eater genes from him 😄
And last, that lightning had to crack at 17:15 when Mike made the "sinister laught" for a better effect 🤣
LOVE LOVE seeing the fam💞
I simply love the excitement coming from Mikey
Welcome Mikey and Christine to Chicago. So happy you found great eats here. I appreciate your Daruma restaurant episode. I’ve not been back for years, now will I have to go back there soon.
Love watching your videos Mikey!!!
That lightning bolt at the end! Always love watching you eat your way around a city
I was sitting here doing fine, munching on my leftover Bojangle's biscuit, but then you got that pizza! Whoa!
I'm so freaking excited and happy for you guys! I knew you'd find the one Man. I can't wait to see your new family food adventures! She's even punny she's perfect!
I can finally say I've been to a couple places Mikey has been! Loving all these Chicago videos!
Always loved watching the videos.. Unfortunately since having cancer and radiotherapy, I have lost about 95% of my taste. I can only try and remember/ imagine how good these taste now.. keep up the great work!
Please stay safe and well, dear!
Stay strong bro...Keep fighting and when your taste buds comeback fly down to Chicago and eat till you drop.
@@rbtz07 Thx bud. But it's been nearly 2 yrs since radiotherapy and specialist say if not back by 1 yrs then stays as is. But good thing is I'm here! I can still smell how good food is.. lol
@@drdare32 Take care and be well always! Rooting for you 🙏
Your videos normally make me hungry but this has to be one of the best food videos you've made. Everything looked so good. I have to try that Mexican ramen.
I am so happy you are exploring my neighborhood!!! I love that mitsuwa that Ramen is AMAZING!!!
Mickey, your videos make people happy as much as you are def happy making them. Win/win situation. Never stop making them ❤️
So awesome you came through the suburbs of Chicagoland! Looking forward to trying out those places you went to! Mexican ramen wow!

Loving these Chicago videos!!! I can go to these places B)
The taco and Mexican ramen looked delicious, but I started getting the meat sweats just looking at the meal! I can’t imagine so much food in a day! Love your videos!
I have been very busy life lately that I haven’t been able to watch your videos. I forgot how entertaining they are and hungry they make me!!!!!
Always love your video
Thank you for visiting our beautiful city that serves up great food. Come back soon and show more eateries.
Wow I'm never this early! Awesome I look forward to these videos so much being stuck in lockdown
That consome had me salivating the entire time I watched, then you dipped the taco in........ bro I think I need to fly to Chicago now.
I can proudly say here in Chicago we have so much really good food ☺️😋. So happy you had a chance to try different places, hope you review other restaurants in the near future here in Chicago 😊
He definitely should came back and try more places!
Love the video mikey! 😍
*I am actually seeing You more than my friends these days* 🖤💗
Loved this video Mikey!
So proud of my beautiful city Chicago! 😁❤🏙
that looks like the perfect deep dish! in between that ridiculous deep dish and thin. love how well done it is and alost looks like you could pick it up and the topping are on top, i hate when the meat is below as it never gets crispy!
Niiiice! I see you took my suggestion and visited Paradise Pup! Glad you enjoyed! :D
Oh my.....that pizza had me swooning!
The entire video in fact!
I never realized that Pequod's has a second location. Looks like the one in the video is the one in Morton Grove. The address listed in the description is the main location, and not the one in the video. That said, Pequod's is one of my favorite pizza places in the world. Whenever I'm in Chicago and want a deep dish, I always go to Pequod's. The crust is just caramelized cheese, and is what really elevates the pizza. Every time I go, I also ask for sausage as one of the toppings, as I was told the sausage is from a house made recipe, and it goes well with any other toppings there.
Yeah, Pequod's is almost like Detroit pizza and Chicago pizza fusion. So good.
Thank you for the information, because I was wondering when Mikey said he was wandering about the Chicago suburbs, then I looked at the address given🤔
I had no idea there was a location in the burbs either!
The Morton Grove location is the original. It was opened by Burt Katz in 1970s. The Chicago location opened much later.
BTW Burt sold Pequods and opened up Burt's Place later on. That's the deep dish that Anthony Bourdain ate. I was lucky enough to visit Burt's Place twice before he passed in 2016.
@@chuckywang Thanks for the info! If Burt's Place is still opened next time I'm in Chicago, I'll definitely make it an effort to visit it.
thats the exact birria ramen i was eating when I last commented on your video!!! good to know i have good taste buds!
Great to see you around Chicago-based areas! A really good burger place I found out about this past summer is MAK's House in La Grange, so maybe give it a try if you'd like to, if you end up around that area.
After a long day at work, you open your phone and see Mikey Chen or Stricktly Dumpling UA-cam new video notification and smile forms on your face. What is a better way to relax and unwind with eating and watching Mikey Chen Strictly Dumpling vids?
Mikey!!!! That was one of the best videos!!!
Welcome to Chicago. Saw your last episode in Chinatown. Never been to Te Amo bakery. Will be trying it out soon. Also appreciate your Ramen restaurant review. LOL. Saw you were by Roscoe Village and the Ten-cafe Boba drinks. My sister and I just found this place ourselves. Minutes from my home. Love their mango tea with the boba balls. Have a good and safe trip while you are here.
Mexican and Asian food together, it's a beautiful thing
Maaaan I am hooked, you just got a new subscriber. So much great content, cheers from Texas, El Paso to be exact, Hopefully you make your way down here some day.
Hey Mike, love your videos. Can you do more vids.. more frequently. Maybe not food related, maybe your personal life, random vlog and stuff. Can't get enough. ❤️❤️
*Phwoooooaaaarrrr- from beginning to end !!*
*And some undiluted,slip off the tongue one liners- * *of which,is packed in this episode
Awesome upload mikey .* *Off the charts supremacy* 🔥🔥🔥🙌*
Wake up seeing your video on my homepage🥰🥰a sign for watching it as my morning meditation 🧘♀️
YOU WENT TO MITSUWA!!! Omg I finally went to a place you’ve been to! 😂I’ve been going there for years, their food court is great 😋
Love the grandparents ❤.
I’ve been waiting for you do this review
Grandpa eats like you. Keep making those videos Mikey. If you and Christine have kids your food budget will be HUGE
OMG! I used to go to Pequod's when I worked around there all the time! I miss it so much!
I had Pequod’s +10 years ago when visiting a friend. Good stuff. Unique and delicious! 🍕🤤
That thunder in the background was a perfect ending in your video Mikey ⚡👍🏼
I'm Happy for you Mike Chen and Ms. Christine...Keep safe always...Have more Good food to eat
who's Ms Christine???
That pizza looks 👀 amazing! I want to visit Chicago just for the pizza! 🍕
Good morning from Fort Worth,TX you making me hungry this morning. Great video have a great time with your family today! 😎👍
That was a nice lightening strike at the end! And man those noodles and taco looked amazing.
I have never tried Mexican Ramen but it looks delicious and I am so happy for you her family and her seem like the perfect fit!!
And she is beautiful 😍
The fact he can eat ALL this in one day 🤯
I heard these youtubers take steroids or other unnatural supplements to increase their metabolism. Whatever abnormal umhuman like behaviour is often triggered by unnatural things they put in their body.
I love this man
He's awesome
Happy you're in my hometown! Great places you've chosen. If you have time or when you come back you should try SEAFOOD CITY! Filipino grocery store/ restaurant. Love your videos! Stay safe! xoxo
I wish we had lots of Asian/Japanese supermarkets and food courts here in the UK, like over there in the States, but we don't. We just have very small family run Asian stores.. and they are limited on the stock and foods they carry.
I really love the Ippudo, Ichiran, Taiwanese Uni-President, and Nissin 7premium instant ramen, and I have to order them off eBay, they're not cheap that way, plus I have to wait about 2 weeks for them to arrive from Japan.
You guys get the great Indian takeaways though!
@@susie2251 This is true... and as much as I love Indian food, I much prefer ramen and Japanese, and south east Asian foods. 🙂😋
Chicago thin crust is a must get as well! Always get a thin crust pizza and a deep dish when I'm back home.
That shaved ice bear looked so adorable! Love the mochi donut 😍
Man Mikey I feel like I've waited years for you to enjoy Chicago lol. Worth the wait. I'm gonna celebrate my wedding at Durama thanks to you
Love how you describe the food in a funny way! 😂
Both noodles are looks so tempting 😋😋😋
Ending a perfect food day with birria ramen, tea and a perfectly timed lighting strike at the end!
Love your vlogs
Love seen Mike so extra happy so happy for you Mike got feed the butterflies in your stomach
Ahhhh you went to Mitsuwa! It's our family's favorite place to visit in the Chicago area. Honestly, the pork and rice bowl is my fave!
The lighting strike at the end of the video was cool to see.
