Talking and Tasting Chi Foods That Aren’t Hot Dogs or Pizza
We all know pizza and hot dogs are iconic Chicago foods. But the city’s culinary contributions don’t stop there. Some foods everyone knows have origin stories here, like the legendary Palmer House brownie. And there are some foods that just scream Chicago, like a well constructed pizza puff.

We taste some of these lesser-known Chicago foods and talk about their origins with Chicago Tribune food critic Louisa Chu.
