Ahhh yes when the lemon pepper dust is on the fries too, that is everything!!🤤
I'm going to love this series... awesome! I miss going out and eating!!
So glad you enjoyed it!! Yeah, we're getting ready to release episode 2 - Hopefully next week :-)
Love the old school vibes of Gene and Jude’s! Great that they just keep it simple too
Love it
Lemon pepper chicken, could hear the crunchiness, look at Maria's smile after biting those chicken! that's a really great sign of delicious food.
Couldn't agree more! :-)
That all look so yummy!! I really like it!! thanks for sharing!!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Awwwh I definitely remember that Harold's Chicken! Salivating watching you guys eat!
The double dog. I rememebr seeing this spot on Chicagos Best. Looks fantastic.
i love these local joints. great you guys are supporting your local businesses during this pandemic, it's really hard on them right now. they are still giving out decent deals like at G&J's
I know. We're trying to get takeout for our work lunches too to try to help out. It's really tough for them.
Chicago’s Best channel is my addiction!
Looks delicious and I like that it's simple good food
I love how you guys really go venturing all about the city to present us your videos. A lot of northsiders would be uncomfortable to drive to the southside so thank you for showing us there is a gem of a bbq place there. Chicago has such an awesome food scene!
Thank you for your kind words. We have been pushing ourselves to go beyond our zip code, which can be hard with work and the daily routine. But it really pays off when we do. We always find great food and interesting areas around the city. For example, right in front of Lem’s there’s Brown Sugar Bakery and it’s amazing. We just happened to stumble upon it when we were there. 😊
Super job! Your passion for great Chicago food comes through the video.
Thank you Bruno
I’ve lived in Chicago all my life…. Every place they are talking about is amazing!! I’m actually watching this while I am sitting at Lem’s BBQ!
A lot of people are leaving the city for places like Arizona and Texas which is crazy because their summers are extremely miserable that I rather tolerate Chicago winters! The summers in Chicago are the best! I’m still cherishing the time when the 90s Bulls were the Rockstars of the World!
@@boogitybear2283YES!! The Bulls were the reason I fell in love with basketball. Those were awesome days!
Heyyy 👋 So glad to hear that you enjoy these places. Lem's is THE best!
That Pompeii pizza looks so good! Love all that sauce on top
Super interesting guys! Look really delicious! nice experience! Thank you for sharing! We have hungry now! heheheheheh, greetings!
Thanks for visiting! Hope you're doing well.
wow i love all of these places
Oh man, all the food looks amazing, you guys have us drooling over here.
Hi guys! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey man thanks for the advice... I will be going to Chicago soon, so I am getting my eats recommendations from you
Hey 👋🏽 Luis! So nice to hear that! Hope you have a great time and good eats!
Always great to virtually exploring Chicago from your videos guys! the line is a great sign already, hot dogs, and man looks at the BBQ! the ribs and sausages, looks super legit!
Glad to hear that. We still have so much to explore. :-)
Great to see you guys doing a Chicago food guide! Double hot dog looks amazing, one is always not enough in my opinion!
Exactly!
Yum everything looks delicious 😍 that fries and hot dog deal was pretty cool, I like that idea
Hey Angie! Thanks for stopping by!
Oh my we've gotta come to Chicago!!! Food looks unbelievably delicious! Yum!!
get tavern style pizza like the locals, not deep dish.
Dont forget to try a real italian beef while in town . you wont regret it !
Solid Content mate, Keep going. Hope I'll be able to visit Chicago once :)
Thanks for the kind words Allen! Glad you enjoyed it man.
Awesome guys. You guys hit the right places. Every place looks delicious. I'm subscribing.

Darn COVID restrictions. Can't wait to get back there!
I really like your concept keep on sharing.
So glad you enjoyed it, Ayen!
one of the best deals indeed! those fries look legit!
The double dog looks amazing stay connected
The hotdog & pompei pizzas were my fav! 👍
Great video!
The double dog looks amazing! Never had a double dog before. Nabol’s face when having that hot dog says it all 😍🤤
Pompei pizza also looked scrumptious. Wonderful selection of delicious pizzas especially d canoli. Tie with d chicken.
Haha Yes! Those two are so good.
I just found your channel. I will be visiting Chicago in September. I am looking forward to the places you have shown. I watched episode 2 before 1. Thank you for all the tasty information.
Hi Jackie! So great to hear that. Hope you have fun!!! There’s so much great food.
Chicago!!! Looooove all your Chicago videos. ☺️☺️
Yay! Thank you!
This is gonna be an awesome series!
Thank you guys!
Oh yes I remember that Harold’s chicken from your previous video.
Looks very tempting, crunchy and ridiculously delicious 🤤
Thanks for sharing these spots with us.
Hope we can visit Chicago one day and try all these delicious food 👍🏻
We hope so too!
That looks fire 🔥
Jibarito's looks so gooood!!
Harold's lemon pepper chicken got to be d best, at least for me. Yummiest.
You would love it. The seasoning on the chicken is so special.
OMG guys, food classics and comfort food...super delicious! What would be our favourite? Those BBQ ribs looked nice, spicy sauce though, yum! Thanks both, kind regards, Simon😎👍
Thank you guys! Have a great week!
Pizza heaven Pompei 🤩 but that canoli is my go to for sure 😆 great episode guys definitely saving this for future trip 😁
The canoli was sooo good too. But we ended up eating it at home because we were so full. Haha
Just moved here and looking to go places that the locals go to. ❤thank you, this video was helpful.
So glad you’re enjoying the series 🙌🏽🙂
I just found your channel and I'm so excited to go back and see your other videos! I live in Michigan and am planning a day trip (what's a four-hour drive?) to Chicago when the pandemic is over, so I can experience true local food favorites at non-chain places. This video definitely started my list! Definitely a subscriber now. :)
Hi Hilary! 👋🏽 So great to hear!!! Glad we could help. There’s so much great food indeed. We’re barely scratching the surface. Hope you have fun.
wow, we love the shots! you have great b-roll!
Thanks so much!
Oh man. A double hot dog, it looks good! And it comes with fries, can't get much better.
Soooo funny, great minds think alike. We were talking about making a series about NJ. Haha. Love this idea and of course starting with some good eats.
Go for it!
Hey Maria and Nabol! This was a cool video on classic eats in ChiTown! That hotdog looked so good, and love that they put 2 wieners in it!! Great that they have hand cut fries and that tube tamale was interesting. That's wild that Lem's BBQ has been there for 66 years.. that's a long time, and you know it must be good. The ribs and sausage looked amazing and we love BBQ food!!
So glad you enjoyed it!! We hope to put together more of these. :-)
Pompei 🍕 looks so good. They have so many out - how do you choose. You guys know all the best spots. Thanks for sharing.
That's why we got so much. So hard to choose.
Hi again!
Wow, those are some great Chicago eats.
I have heard of Gene and Jude's. I love ketchup, so I might have to bring my own...I hope I don't get in trouble, haha.
I would definitely have to check the menu before getting the BBQ.
The Jibarito's sandwich looks amazing! Garlic butter makes everything better.
I need to try Harold's chicken one day, as well as the tomato pizza that Nabol likes.
Thanks for sharing!
You will have to bring your own ketchup for sure. Hahaha You really can't go wrong with any of these places. Hope you can try them.
Hi, guys! Wow! You guys always have the most amazing food. It looks fantastic and so delicious. You have so many wonderful places to go too.
You would never need to cook and you would never have to repeat anything. Fantastic share dear friends. Happy Wednesday. Many blessings to you. Have a beautiful day.🥰❤️🎅🏻🎅🏻🎄🎄
Thank you so much for stopping by!!
i know i'm gonna regret watching this before going to bed...already salivating...
Haha
Harold's chicken sounds sooo crispy! It's 9am here and I'm craving fried chicken, maybe chicken and waffles 🤤🤤
Gosh those bbq ribs look like the winner 🤤
I’ve been to 2 out of the 5 places G & J and Pompei. They all look amazing! Those Jibaritos don’t look disappointing. Amazing share guys as always I leave your channel hungry 😋
Hi Susy! So glad you enjoyed the video. And glad we made you hungry.
This is such a great channel!
Thank you Leslye!!
Chicken is one of our fave proteins so we would be loving those lemon pepper wings and fries. Sounds like they have a great crunch to them, which is always important. Can't believe that Pizza spot Pompeii was in business that long too. The Square Pizza looked cool and never had a Pizza Strudel before, but they looked amazing. Butters would be eating that cannoli up!! You guys always eat so well and love the food you get! Great video and love you guys to the mother effin' moon!! :) 😊💖🤗😘🌛
Yes, they are very good at adapting, even now. Hope they keep going strong.
Tube tamale. Lol 😆 I’d love to try it. Love ribs. I’d love to try Chicago BBQ.
Love that you all showcase local goodies. That sandwich is wow! Fried plaintains as bread! I need some in my life.
That sandwich is no joke. Two people can eat from it. Haha
OMGOSH, Fried plantains as bread??? This is an off the hook crazy delicious episode. You two are always our Foodies Joy:)
Love the Pompeii pizza
Best Wishes, James and Kim
Hey guys!!! So glad you enjoyed this one. We hope to add more interesting places to the list. So many great classics in Chicago.
I’m preparing myself to eat for the four days that I’m in Chicago in august! I’m definitely going to these places when I’m there!
Yay!! So good to hear! Have lots of fun!
D hotdog n fries looked amazing. Nice place eating in d park.
Yes, the park is the best place to eat these days. :-)
Never had a Jibarito but have had something similar at Venezuelan places called a patacon. Love all the garlic on top and how stuffed it is! Looks delicious
Yes, there are a few similar versions of this dish. Funny thing is that it didn't become popular in PR until recent years.
That is a pizza paradise wow
Look at that tomato sauce !
Looove cheese and extra cheese in pizza.
that pizza with the amount of tomato!! is insane!! i'm craving some pizza now...damn! you guys have really good stuff over there!!
Come and eat here . We are a town who loves food ethnic and just in general. My kids got it honest hungry all the time.😅
New Subscriber here 😉 You just hit 2 of my favorites, Harold's Chicken and Pompei Pizza. I wish I was close to Chicago again just to eat.
Hi 👋🏽 So glad you found us!! Those are two great spots indeed!
Gene and Judes is my favorite hotdog spot. I grew up a block away. Miss it so much
That’s some good stuff. Their hot dogs are some of our favorites for sure!
Look at how they make those french fries! I would have asked for no peppers too. Lem's is a place Brad and Noah would absolutely love. Good tip to know you have to yell out your order (that's something I would definitely struggle with!)😄 Oh my gosh your sandwiches from Jibarito's look so good. A paradise of pizza!🍕I've never tried a pizza strudel. All of these places looked amazing, thanks for sharing guys! Have a wonderful week and a blessed Thanksgiving🦃
Thank you guys! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving break too!!!
wow thats look delicious maam i wil try this soon i feel hungry..til next time see u
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm looking forward to part 2.
Good to hear! :-)
Mmmmmhhh yes those pizzas, bring it on! I'm always ready for pizza! But those pizzas are seriously next level delicious looking!
Hahaha Yes!
This is 2 blocks from my parents house, I go there all the time when I visit them. Chicago is my home town!
Niceee! So jealous. It takes us 30 minutes to get there. Such a great spot.
Beautiful city n its wonderful food.
Hi 👋 Yasin!
@@KimchiAndBeansVideos Hi there, Maria, Nabol.
Next time I come It would be awesome to hangout and yall show us all the great spots to eat. Yall seem like good people and would be awesome to hangout with
Haha 😂 Thank you for the kind words!
The double dog with fries included, quintessential Chicago. 💯
You know it!
You guys are brave eating BBQ in the car!!😀😀 looks like amazing food out there!
Hahahaha I know!
Hand-cut fries with the skin on them are the best!
D sandwiches looked very special, n rice by d side, first time seeing this.
Yes, they are so good. Two people can eat out of one dish.
Hi Nabol and Maria, I really enjoyed your video! I hope you both go viral and get 100,000 subscribers because you definitely deserve it! Keep making amazing videos! I would love to see the best food places in Aurora and North Aurora which is where I live!
Thanks man! Appreciate it 🙌🏽
I remember Pompeii bakery when they were on Laflin st. We'd get a slice on our lunchtime from school... Our Lady of Pompeii...50 years ago. it was a small tiny place with wall brick ovens It was good then....
Iconic gene and judes ! I love how they just stuffed everything together! I always get the double myself
Those ribs on the grill look so delicious! Haha first time ordering with people queueing behind, staring at you coz you don't know what you want is the worst feeling haha!! Jibarito's dish look amazing!! What a wholesome meal!
Yes, those Jibaritos are no joke. Two people can eat from them. Haha
I would have probably just stood there not knowing what to say at the BBQ place when I tried to order! 😄The plantain bread sandwiches looked yummy. And I remember Harold's Chicken, still looks good! Everything looks so good but The food at Pompei is calling my name!
Yes, I get nervous under pressure when it's time to order. 😂 Pompei is a dream for sure! So dangerous Haha
O man been eating my plain bowl of fruit while watching this. Felt like the strawberries were turning into ribs, fried chicken and hand cut fries hahahahaha. What an amazing day of eating. Great Chicago food episode guys. Sauce is the way to go fo sure! That pizza place looks legendary.
It was very fun putting this video together. So glad you guys enjoyed it.
Gene's and Jude's double hotdogs.. a classic!! 😋 I need to try that one day! Lem's BBQ for ribs, oh man, so messy but so good! Oh yeah, the Jibarito's with the plantain buns! I can taste the flavor! I'm in love with that lemon chicken.. finger licking good hehe! Pompei pizza, it's hard to choose what to order lol.. the square slices look great.. gotta try the pizza strudel! You guys just made me hungry again!
Hahaha Glad to hear that!
Loved that french fry cutter at Gene and Jude's! The fries look classic! Lem's reminds me of the soup nazi place. I wonder where Pompei pizza gets their tomatoes. They looked so great. And the cannolli - waah!!!
We want that french fry cutter! 😂 That's a good question. That was an insanely good tomato slice.
Gene and Jude’s is for sure a W
Love your videos.... Jibarito y mas is our go to spot!!! Can you please make a video on tamales in Chicago
Hi Zoila!! Sorry for the late response. Jibarito y más is such a good spot. We go there for takeout a lot. Funny that you mention tamales because we're featuring an old school vendor very soon. :-) It would be fun to do a whole video on tamales too!
Let us know if you have any favorite tamale places and we'll try to get to them.
Wow that so nice video :)
Thank you 🤗
Lens BBQ joint is in my old neighborhood. Love the rib tips and hot links. Wash down with a sweet potato pie! Harold’s Chicken is in my other old neighborhood on 103rd and Halsted. Get a large order of chicken gizzards! Mmmm goood!
Ooohh, yes, we need to try those gizzards!
We have never tried jibarito sandwich before, but we would love to make this one day, as we cannot get enough plantains when we find them. The one with seafood inside looked AMAZING!!! We will take 2 of those right now!! We haven't seen them sold around here where we live. Just a million Thai and Mexican restaurants LOLOL
You should make it!!! So good. You can make smaller slider ones.
@@KimchiAndBeansVideos If we ever make it back to the Latin Market after Covid.. we will definitely do it.
Thanks Guys Im From Chicago in ATL ..PS im planning a trip soon i missed these places....Great picks. .What about the chicago beefs
Hi Thomas. Apologies for the late response. Episode 4 has a couple of great Italian beef spots: ua-cam.com/video/S6EdJP-LZvA/v-deo.html
Chicago is hands down the best big city in America! Every time I repeat every time I want to go to New York City, I wind up going to Chicago. I’m just loyal to the Windy City. My skyscraper I frequently visit is the John Hancock Tower. Best views in the city! Food wise, you can’t go wrong with any of the many restaurants supported and owned by locals!
Appreciate all the Chicago love! 🙌 It's a great city indeed.
@@KimchiAndBeansVideos I’m going this weekend yes I know the weather is awful, but a Free Day Pass to the Shedd Aquarium, I’ll even go if it’s a Blizzard outside because it will be inside!
Anytime I travel it's always the local spots that blow my mind. Problem is I usually don't know anyone to take me to the spots. Everywhere I look online it always ends up being the "usual tourist spots" that are recommended.
Love what y'all doing. time to binge your content a bit
Thanks Hubert! We're all about the old school spots. 🙌
We'll be very confuse to order which pizzas from that display, and wow 1909! and hold on was that pistachio cannoli (min 8:58)??? love it!!!
It really is a gem of a place. There's always so much we want to try.
The hot dog and fries look great. You forgot your English ! 😁 OMG ! You guys are killing me !! so yummy. 👋🏻😁👍🏻. 👋🏻😁👍🏻
Haha Glad you enjoyed it.
wow!!
That jibarito sandwich looks delicious. Maria the same thing happens to me when I’m about to order my mind goes blank and I stutter 😂
Hey Lisa! 👋 That jibarito is no joke. Sooo good. Yes, I get nervous easily. Hahaha I let Nabol do most of the talking. :-)
The sandwich at 5:14 looks delicious 😋
It really was! :-)
i'm so thirsty looking at this, the good Italians really did stop in NY. The rest went to Chicago it would seem.
Wow fried plaintain as the bread😋 we never try puerto rican food guys😭 hard to find them here
Maybe there's a Cuban or Dominican restaurant that has PR dishes. It's very similar food. :-)
I lived in the neighborhood when Pompeii was a tiny little hole in the wall bakery on Taylor Street.
Remember your video about Lem’s and agree that it deserves another feature! It looks great
We're trying to revive some old footage that should get more traction. :-) So many great old school spots.
