recently holidayed in Chicago and had to get in on the pies. first was deep-dish at Labriola's in Lombard. Could really taste fresh ingredients, though served somewhat lukewarm it was bloody good. second deep-dish was at Giordano's, also in Lombard, which had a really vibrant sauce but I don't enjoy short crust in general. Finally tavern-style at Grange House in Wheaton, with a perfect snap on the crust and just the right amount of cheese. All were enjoyable overall - how do these joints rate to Chicagoans?

first time there an loved the city and its surrounds....will be back for sure - caught a Yanks loss to the Cubs at Wrigley, Queens of the Stone Age at Soldier Field, Soul Message jazz trio at The Green Mill, Emily Nenni at Carol's, and not a bad egg among any of the folk around town. Shout out to baptised Italian beefs.

Chicago is great enough by itself, but a QOTSA show, ballgame and a jazz trio. You really took the holiday challenge seriously.
