    Born and raised I have lived here my entire life. Stan Donuts I don’t know who decided this is a tourist trap but that’s what it is. Chicagoans don’t eat Stan’s donuts.
    Do Rite is one of the best donuts we’ve ever had definitely rated top notch!

    Some of these places are not even *near* the Loop! You want Loop? Try Luke's Pizza and Sandwiches on the south side of Jackson Street, one or two blocks east of Sears/Willis Tower, I forget exactly which. Good pizza slices, burgers and chicken sandwiches, some Italian entrees. In fact, the only place I know of in the central downtown area, currently, for traditional slices.

    Yeah, Stan's Donuts always disappoints. They often over-fry their donuts, giving them a bitter taste. They are also a complete rip-off. Almost all the donuts are in one of the higher price tiers. And what kind of donut place has price tiers in the first place?!? Better that you stick with Do-Rite Donuts, which are much superior, with better sandwiches and better prices as well (no, I do not work there).

    Chicago native here. Love the video. We have so much good food. One thing I noticed is that aloha wagon is not near midway. Its on the pinkline at western and midway is the orange line end of line. If you come back I recommend going to ricobennes and getting the chicken parm sandwich. Atardecer Acapulqueño has really good mexican breakfast. My family has been taking me there since I was born. Mannys is a great deli in the south loop area. They have wonderful rubens and potato pancake. You can also not go wrong with harolds chicken. Its a classic. Garrets is great. Every Christmas my dad would bring home a bucket of the mix. Chiu Quon Bakery is a so cheep and so good. It is a chinese bakery that is cash only. My girlfriend and I will go in with 10 dollars cash and come out with the perfect amount of food for a picnic. Its one of our go to cheep date nights. We take the buns and walk to ping tom park. I am glad you enjoyed the city. I love this place so much. A big part of my heart lives here and will continue even if I leave.

    this app too good to go app is this like a pick up food item?

    • @InspiredbyRR
      @InspiredbyRR  Рік тому

      Sort of…When you download the app your put in the city you are interested in. It will show all of the restaurants/businesses participating in the program and what options are available. So for example, it won’t say the exact meal you will be receiving but it will say something like “Pastry” if at a donut/coffee shop , or “3 sides and meat” if a restaurant. It helps you have at least a ballpark idea of what u will get if you select to pick it up. Then you just go pick it up within the time provided to you. 🤗
