    I met him when he was in Chicago. It was really cool to see him since I first watched his content in his Off the Great Wall days. I feel like I embarrassed myself, but it was awesome. ^^
    Edit: Despite living here, I haven't found any Chinese restaurants that I love, so I'm gonna have to check these places out. ^^

    The Ferris wheel made its debut at the 1893 World’s Colombian Exposition, also known as the Chicago World’s Fair. (Some of the famous buildings and other structures, especially on/near the University of Chicago campus, are from that World’s Fair.)
    The food wheel is a neat tribute to that piece of Chicago history.
