      What I find interesting is that I've lived in Chicago for almost 7 years, most of it near Margie's, but have never wanted to wait in the short line all the times I thought to go. Yet, as a tourist in New York, I waited in line for Katz's Deli for over an hour. The things you take for granted.

      @jeanniebrooks ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Bourdain was a vanguard, a travel foodie trailblazer who opened up the whole idea for people like Mark, but Mark is great in his own right. Everywhere he goes, people warm to him, he’s so likable, but in addition, he just does such a great job of researching and finding all the great places and foods that are emblematic of the place he is visiting. The comment section is filled with praise from the locals, and from many who visit there to the restaurants and food trucks/carts/shops he has himself visited. He’s a magnificent travel guide!
      Bourdain we will always remember, his quick wit, and quirky personality we all love him for- but he had a whole network production crew behind him who scoped out the place, provided him with local contacts and guides, arranged his travel - it was a different world for Tony.

    I wonder if Mark has thought about handing his channel off to Micah when he gets older, if Micah wanted to. Or maybe Micah''s own channel, helping his son carry on the tradition. I'm sure as a family they have thought about it, but it will be interesting to see. Still many more years to come.

    I was thinking of course America has some comical desert. But it looked like the kids absolutely loved it! I admit it was a very unique idea

    LOVE the baby wipes for finger cleanup 😂😂😂! Brilliant video, the whole family, and our two foodies Mark and Derek. Derek's descriptions pair with Mark's perfectly.

      I will use baby wipes for my asshole when it burns from nasty Puerto Rican food then I rinse them out and use them as wash clothes.

    Love Chicago, although admittedly I usually eat lots of Asian food when Im there... the underground food court in China Town is amazing! Brother in law was a great addition!

    My grandmother from Italy made Italian baked chicken this way nearly every week, while I was growing up in Chicago. Never knew it or called it chicken Vesuvio back then. 😋

    I am so disappointed I miss seeing you in my hometown if I had known you were going to be in Chicago that long I would’ve booked a flight back home just so I could meet you. I’ve been watching you for a while and I enjoy your content. Keep up the awesome work. Love you, Mark and family. ❤

    Mr Ds on diversey. Chicago only and doesn’t get enough love outside the city. I think it’s the best hidden gem. That shishkabob sandwich I would travel anywhere for.
