We’ve been having to travel to Chicago for our sons doctors appointments and this was a perfectly timed video, we went to Lawrence fish market yesterday because of your video, and the sushi was AMAZING, it absolutely tasted super fresh and was better than I’ve ever had in the QC. Thank you for the great suggestion!
Yeah, Chicago!! I’m from just south of there. When you come visit, I know there will be great places that never knew. Thanks for casting such good light on us, Chicagoians are salt of the earth people and will do anything for a neighbor, or a stranger. Happy, and safe travels to you and your wife. Hope your folks are doing well, as well as your wife’s family 🙂
@@glennquagmire34 that's in actual Chicago, not the suburbs. thanks to mayor Beetlejuice and our governor Fatzger, they never acknowledge the violence until it happens in a suburb.
@@glennquagmire34 you are hearing the worst, the down right great is never talked about, not just the the suburbs but in the actual city of Chicago. How could a city of millions of people be as terrible as what the news tells you and still be a top tourist destination? Because what you are hearing about are happening in isolated parts of a large city.
@@annamccarty911 This just isn't true. It's really only a couple very impoverished and isolated areas that you would never just wander into on accident that can be dangerous. Chicago doesn't even crack the top 10 on violent crime rates per capita.
I agree about Chicago people, especially south side. I grew up in Berwyn and then moved to Omaha. Chicago people are so much nicer and just all around decent people. There are people from all walks of life that live in peace together. Omaha has a whole bunch of low key racism. I never heard anyone say to another "speak English, this is America" until I moved to Omaha.
Drove an hour to bakery crescent for my birthday a few days ago and I gotta say the drive was absolutely worth it! The yakisoba bun was something to die for! And the lady working was such a sweet heart ❤️ thinking about going back real soon! Thanks for sharing mike!
Boba Burger is one of my favorite places to eat! Can’t go wrong with anything in their menu! My favorite is the lechon burger with some Thai tea. Their jalapeño poppers are also so good like you said!!
Definitely make the cheap eats a series on your channel. I love finding excellent food at a low price, seems exceedingly hard in the states anymore, but I know they're out there.
Love that you go around and visit smaller restaurants in the suburbs! If you're ever in Schaumburg, stop my parent's restaurant, Asian Noodle House! They serve Malaysian food (bak kut teh, curry laksa, nasi lemak, etc) alongside other typical fast casual Chinese/Asian dishes. We can even get you our off the menu items :)
It's solid. Nothing great. You go there for the cheap prices but thr last time I went the prices has gone up. It was worth going back then when the pieces were around 60 cents a piece but not any more
What Mikey said about cheap food resonates with me so hard as somebody growing up frugal and is now a struggling college studentt. Good food is just 100x better when you know you got it at a bargain price.
Awesome food shown, love to try those hotdogs..looks interesting, those juiciest burgers too. The sushi is definitely worth the price especially the Nigiri sushi looks so fresh..great point out. But abit cold to eat sushi with the wind...🤣Great eat again Mikey👏👍👍👍
Nini’s deli has had a couple of scandals if I’m not mistaken cuz I’ve seen them on the news a few years back. I wonder if it still has the same owners who said mask mandates are unconstitutional and ungodly.
Hey Mikey, it looks like the video for Nini's got cut which is understandable, but the audio got missed! Just a heads up that you're probably aware of, but just in case! Hopefully this can help for other people like me who were confused about the out of sync audio as well.
Me and my family have been coming to Classic bowl ever since we were kids and we’ve always gotten Boba burger when we came! It’s amazing to see you try something that hits so close to home 🥺
Crescent Bakery's loaf of bread is awesome.....you can choose from their thick or thin sliced options. They may even have one that's uncut but I'm not positive.
It’s amazing to see Mikey eating sushi with ease! I remember a couple of years back he wouldn’t due to its unfamiliar texture. It’s as if his palette has evolved throughout the years! 👍
@wuxiaman more popular eating 5 dishes or eating Chinese food in another country with rich history of foods? How about having bad quality videos or terrible analogies?
Thanks for this delicious episode Mike! I'm a Philadelphia native, but Chicago's food scene is superior (though it's no Seoul 😗). So much culinary diversity going on!
Is anyone else having issues with the audio not sync'd up correctly with the different spots? In the beginning he is talking about an Empanada while we watch him eating sushi!!!
@@EddyFusilli Sometimes he slides a quick joke that you can miss if you are not paying close attention. I had to stop the video because was laughing and missed the next thing he said.
I sit and watch a few of your videos a night after work and I take some inspiration to modify my home cooking from the places that you visit. Keep up the awesome work!
Hi Mike, this is a PSA about Nini's Cafe. Although the food is good, Nini's cafe was closed in 2020 due to the owner, Juan, the person you mentioned, making racist and homophobic remarks and doubling down when people called him out for it. You can find articles about it just by googling the restaurant's name. I understand that you probably didn't know about this, but I think it's important for the audience to know whether they want to support an establishment like this.
Yes but by cancelling him and making the business shut down he is not the only one affected. His employees and his family are too. We need to use wisdom and offer gracee in this cancel culture climate. Making a bad remark is not a capital offense that should make someone loose their livelihood.
It's not canceling. It's consequences. He said some things that pisses people off. People are gonna say and do as a consequence of what he has said. These are his consequences. He made a choice, and now he has to live with the consequences of what he said.
I used to love Ninis and thought Juan was great, but then he started saying negative stuff all over social media and I haven't been back since. But dang so many other good looking dishes that I don't need to go back
This video is probably the only good publicity Nini’s had in a long time, They damn near had a riot outside the deli. On another note, Imma have to hit up bobas burger looks damn good!
Boba Burger!!! This was my favorite burger place when I lived in the area! Especially loved their hand cut fries and that they used fresh fruit for all their boba smoothies. So happy you went there Mikey!!
I don't know about the rest of Brazil, but in Rio de Janeiro we love guava and cheese. We have cheesecake, pizza, croissant, ice cream... Guava means goiaba, but there's a sweet made with it called goiabada. Witch melts like a syrup and that is what goes with the cheese in all those recipes. You will find "goiabada com queijo" everywhere here 😆
Yes! I was hoping someday you'd find Lawrence Fish Market on your journey. That place is still off the chain as far as quality. I'd take a 20 dollar bill down the road and would just fill up on sushi
Mike, please lmk if theres a good hotpot place in Chicago!!! Me and my husband don’t really have any hotpot in our hometown so we wanna take the chance to find one in Chicago. I love your videos btw, and I hope you and your girlfriend are doing well! ¡Sigue poniéndole ganas a todo tu trabajo!

@@DonDracula thank you, he’s getting a lot better! He’s only needing to be on his medication for a couple more months and should be a-okay!
@@ThePurpIeLlama No parent should have to worry about their children's health, glad you at least have to worry a lot less!

And the egg salad sandwich was wicked good!
Mike ur a trooper ,ur an inspiration and you eat food anywhere and even record like you don’t care your truly a good guy

I’m putting your parents’ restaurant on my list!!!
Love ANH!
i be coming. Hi Mom and Dad!
I'm from Schaumburg area and I LOVE your parents restaurant!!! One of my fav places to eat growing up tbh.
Was here twice recently while I was here for a business trip! The Hainan Chicken was delicious!
Thank you for finally going to Lawrence Fish Market to enjoy their amazing and well priced sushi and rolls!!
It's solid. Nothing great. You go there for the cheap prices but thr last time I went the prices has gone up. It was worth going back then when the pieces were around 60 cents a piece but not any more
I love all your videos but...Good to see an affordable food video and relatable content Mike 👍
What Mikey said about cheap food resonates with me so hard as somebody growing up frugal and is now a struggling college studentt.

Soooo excited to see that you came and visited Chicago! I'm from the burbs.
Nini’s deli has had a couple of scandals if I’m not mistaken cuz I’ve seen them on the news a few years back. I wonder if it still has the same owners who said mask mandates are unconstitutional and ungodly.
Masks are unconstitutional.
Yes, super disappointed they were highlighted here. They had another issue just last week. Terrible owners.
Agreed! Will not support them
I was surprised when seeing them here. SMH.
Yeah, shocked to see them here. As a Chicagoan the hate that Nini's is known for is the very first thing that comes to mind.
Lawrence is a hidden gem, and my go-to, really cool to see you found them.
I love his sponsors he get they are always helpful👌🏻✨
“I’m not good at English”
Hey Mikey, it looks like the video for Nini's got cut which is understandable, but the audio got missed! Just a heads up that you're probably aware of, but just in case! Hopefully this can help for other people like me who were confused about the out of sync audio as well.
Just an FYI, don't give Nini's Deli your business, a simple google search will show just how terrible they are.
@StrictlyDumpling Mike the audio is off or wrong at 2:52 ish into video
It's so dope seeing you go across the world
Me and my family have been coming to Classic bowl ever since we were kids and we’ve always gotten Boba burger when we came! It’s amazing to see you try something that hits so close to home 🥺
Don't expect real white tuna (Albacore) at that price, it's most likely Escolar.
Omg 😱 I love sushi 🍣 and those plates look so beautiful and yummy 😋 I want to try everything
these food items looked awesome id love to try them out one day
Hi Mike, just curious, how come you're blurring the logos on your jacket/shirt?
He is blurring all that weight gain.
It’s because this video is sponsored
Heard Nina’s deli got canceled for some homophobic or racist remarks im not sure, haven’t heard from them in a while
They definitely did and still are.
Then good.
The owners became A CHRISTIAN MINISTER.
Some Church gonna get cursed by their racism soon.
My kind of place!
how does homeboy eat over 50 pieces of sushi and then immediately get 2 burgers. I aspire to be like Mike! Keep up the great content brotha !
Finally !! I've been checking every single day wondering where you were
Crescent Bakery's loaf of bread is awesome.....you can choose from their thick or thin sliced options. They may even have one that's uncut but I'm not positive.
It’s amazing to see Mikey eating sushi with ease!
I remember a couple of years back he wouldn’t due to its unfamiliar texture.
It’s as if his palette has evolved throughout the years! 👍
Too bad he is supporting Proud Boy bigots at Ninos deli
I remember thinking how can you be a foodie and not like sushi! Glad he changed his mind.
Audio was messed up for me which made it hard to watch unfortunately but the food looked amazing
same for me i was wondering if its was just me XD
same. was wondering why no comments on this
same
same for me
The Closed Captions are correct it looks like so you can watch it with those, muted or otherwise and get the right info!
Love it when you visit my 2nd home. Great video as always! Stay safe out there you too!
Those burgers look AMAZING
Why does Mikey need to blur out the 'patagonia' logo on the jacket?
It's Mikey. Why does he eat the same 5 things in every video? The world will never know
@@vuongn2318 I love this reply
@wuxiaman more popular eating 5 dishes or eating Chinese food in another country with rich history of foods? How about having bad quality videos or terrible analogies?
You know what you just did for Juan boosted his career
this video is exactly what I needed! thank you Mike :)
Thanks for this delicious episode Mike! I'm a Philadelphia native, but Chicago's food scene is superior (though it's no Seoul 😗). So much culinary diversity going on!
Boba Burger, who would've guessed by the location but their food is top quality and service is fantastic 😍
By far the earliest I've ever been, super excited for this video! I love his korean food videos.
Is anyone else having issues with the audio not sync'd up correctly with the different spots? In the beginning he is talking about an Empanada while we watch him eating sushi!!!
Those hot dogs looked so good! It’s like they have salads on them. I could hear the texture.
*Superb!!💖 ❤ You always makes me extremely hungry but I love it!!*
Delicious food... The background on the last shot was actually nice imo.. 👍🤗🌻
Mikey says, "Banana milk, I don't know how they milk them, but they're delicious."🤣😆😂😆🤣
Exactly LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
I love Mikey 👌🏻

The Vietnamese style pickled/fermented carrot/daikon I have been using as a topping on my gourmet hot dog concoctions at home.
That sushi is soo good omg
Headed to Lawrence Fish Market tomorrow!😋
I sit and watch a few of your videos a night after work and I take some inspiration to modify my home cooking from the places that you visit. Keep up the awesome work!
Geez, so you want to eat all that junk like him ? Hopefully not 😅
Couldn't help but notice the blur on the jacket...Looks like patagonia? 🤣
Edit: a frame got missed for blurring at 9:54
Why is the logo on your jacket blurred out?
I LOVE sushi from Lawrence Fish Market!
Why did you blur the brand on your jacket ?
Yay! So glad to see you in Chicago!

@@mambiashu7080 His family & coworkers cosign on the bigoted remarks too.
Nini's Deli is delicious. I'm glad Mike went and tried the food for himself. We live in America where we can speak freely and openly. God bless you!
Hey Mike the video audio isn't sync correctly at 6:14 :(
Awesome job Mike
I used to love Ninis and thought Juan was great, but then he started saying negative stuff all over social media and I haven't been back since. But dang so many other good looking dishes that I don't need to go back
like what ??
Lawrence Fish Market is our go-to! Awesome to see you go there!
Doing the Lord’s work!
btw his jacket brand is patagonia
in case anyone is wondering
Thanks for another chicago video! These are my favorite!
Glad to once again see some good, affordable places I might actually be able to visit in the foreseeable future!
“Snacky Chen” does it again 🤘🏼
This video is probably the only good publicity Nini’s had in a long time, They damn near had a riot outside the deli. On another note, Imma have to hit up bobas burger looks damn good!
Half of those sushi enough to make stomach full 😁👍
The next time you're in Chicago, you HAVE to go to both Triple Crown restaurants in Chinatown!!
Boba Burger!!! This was my favorite burger place when I lived in the area! Especially loved their hand cut fries and that they used fresh fruit for all their boba smoothies. So happy you went there Mikey!!
I was born n raised in Central IL. Represent!! Love ya!
Peoria?
eyyy!! i live in chicago, now i have more spots to try out!
Thanks for the dumpling slippers very cosy and the bao bae very cute
When was this recorded because its summer time and it looks cold there lol
Great video as always, but who lined you up like that?
Looks so good!! Omg that bakery 🙋♀️🌈❤️
Happy you're back in Chicago!!
Rich boy Mikey man always with the plan 😆😆😆😊😊🙏🙏👌👌🔥🔥🔥👍😥🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪💪💪💪❤️🙏🙏🙏👌👌
The bowling alley food looked too notch 🥰
Uhh Mikey my man you better check out the owners before you post this stuff
Why is Mike blurring out the Patagonia label on his jacket? He usually doesn’t do this.
He wants that check
from 2:30 the audio doesn't match the video
Mikey has hit the Big time .. capital one is a sponsor ..🙀🙀🙀
Ahhhhhhhh! Sushi and other food! Love it!
BOBA BURGER IS THE BEST MIKE, i always go bowling there on Sunday when I can and get food there b4 bowling :)
Miley blocking out the brands be killin me, y’all better cut him a check 😂🤣 and my guy need a new button up that shit bustin

I wondering why eat outside in wintertime? When you can take it to your room?
The food looks so delicious in this video!
But am I the only one with off sync voice and video?
Hey Mike n Christine... Hope you'll 4th was great.. Of course the food was amazing... Enjoy n have a great day... 🐞❤️
all I can do is stare at his shirt because he's never blurred a logo before. 🤣
Yeah can someone explain why they blur out logos? Has something to do with not wanting to give those companies free advertisement or something else?
@@gunnyboyz4tw yeah I don’t get it either
Ikr? We all know that’s a Patagonia jacket anyways 😂
Awesome ... glad you were safe there.
I’m so excited for my upcoming Chicago trip!!! I’ve pretty much bookmarked every place you’ve recommended!!!😊😊😊
Yes! I was hoping someday you'd find Lawrence Fish Market on your journey. That place is still off the chain as far as quality. I'd take a 20 dollar bill down the road and would just fill up on sushi
Helpful tip, the “s” is silent in “Illinois”
Chicago and it's suburbs have some of the best restaurants!
When eating cheap but good sushi:
That's the smile of an Asian getting cheap food👍

That Hawaiian hamburger looked so yummy
So happy you went to Boba Burger. Those guys have something special and deserve lots of success.
Love the video, please do more of these. Great edits an foods.
Anyone else notice how the audio is off in this video.
Let’s go Boba Burger!!
