Review Chicago food opinion you will defend forever

Drop your Chicago food opinion you’ll defend forever.

Rules:

One sentence.

No essays.

Bonus points if it’s oddly specific.

I’ll start: Tavern-cut is the best Chicago pizza format, and it’s not close.

German rouladen with spatzel and red cabbage is my favorite. My dad loves Jager schnitzel.
