    My wife, 2 kids (6&5yr old) and sister-in-law toured china town yesterday and tried 4 of your recommendations:
    Bfast: Chiu Quon
    Lunch: QXY
    Snack: Elitea
    Dinner: MCCB
    All 4 were INCREDIBLE!!! Pork Bun and moon cake were such unique bfast treats! QXY truffle-beef and lamb-coriander dumplings were so delicate and yummy! My kids loved the fruit smoothies from Elitea and wife said her grapefruit green tea was the best tea concoctions she's ever had. Finishing with MCCB was outrageous. Surprisingly super affordable spot, and we loved the pig oil green onion noodles, and spicy dry chilli chicken! Honestly the best chinese take out I've ever had.
    We can't THANK YOU enough. Can't wait to try more of your chicago food recommendations!

While virtually everything looked divine the lovely young lady showing off the Strawberry Bao stole my heart. Strawberries should have their own food group ! 😋😍🤩😋

    You did this in one of your previous videos, but a suggestion to engage your viewers more and encourage them to continue watching until the end would be to ask a trivia question related to the topic of your video at the very beginning and then tell the viewers to watch until the end to figure out the answer. Would be great to incorporate into each video moving forward.
