![WHAT TO EAT IN CHINATOWN CHICAGO in 24 HOURS ft Best Dim Sum, Peking Duck, Hot Pot (Food Tour) [4K]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/faOhp6X_a2E/mqdefault.jpg)
What's good #GustoNation! Remember to always support your LOCAL RESTAURANTS, especially during these tough times! 🍽 Also don't forget to FINESSE that Like button & Comment your favorite food in the film!
Born and raised in Chicago but I didn’t know about most of these hidden gems! You definitely did a great job with these spots!
I just came back from Chicago, I love it. You're blessed to live in such a beautiful city
As a New Yorker I can honestly say I prefer Chicago vs NYC hot dogs... don't get me started on pizza though hahaa.
🌭🆚🍕
Omgggg I commented that Chicago has the best hot dogs period sorry New York!!!!!! "Chicagoan" an you can have the pizza since you know its US (Chicago) that does hot dogs the best!!!!
Chicago is one of my favorite cities for this exact reason! My wife and I spent a few days there in September and I loved it so much I flew back with a buddy from TX for a weekend food bender a couple weeks ago. I'm always ready for some Chicago grub 🤙🤙
My city of Chicago I love Chicago. Beautiful architecture of this city. MAake sure to visit Chicago.
As a local for 37 years, I have to say, Luis you really nailed some quality cheap eats in the loop. There are plenty more but you are not steering your views wrong. don't forget 65 Chinese. $10 can feed 2 people easily. Sidenote: for all you seeing the places Luis hit were empty, don't be fooled. Pre-Covid they were always packed!
65 Chinese is now closed :( RIP
@@pearlofthenortheast4094thats tuff. What other meals are there?
John is my man for NYC and you're definitely my guy for Chicago! I'll be studying in Canada this year and hopefully I can visit Chicago ASAP! Sending tropical love from the Philippines! Thank you amigo for the recommendations!
Hiiiii, can I get the name of that channel pleaseeeee?
Chicago have the best Polish food 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱♥️♥️♥️♥️
YES! And so over looked by people from out of town, it's sad
I’ve been to Chicago three times in the last 6 months!! Can’t wait until I come back!!
pittsfield cafe!!!! i brought my parents there when they visited and it was so good. i love how it looks like an outdoor patio but it's setup in an atrium. It felt like a movie set.
I agree. Serious hidden gem.
I'm coming to Chicago for the first this summer, finally! After watching several of your videos I'm looking forward to my week stay!
Just a suggestion, last time we visited we took a Segway tour and it was amazing! The tour we took was along the lake front and through the Museum Campus, which gave us great views of the skyline, and had really great guide. We never were on a Segway AND we were 65 when we did this, that's how easy it was. We got really wonderful pictures since they stop and let you enjoy the scenery and the guide took pictures of us a group and a couple.
@@Clutching.My.Pearls Thanks, I'm hoping to squeeze in an architectural tour and a lot of visits to restaurants!
@Billy Yandle You're coming at the right time. Summers in Chgo are off the chain. So much to see & do. 1-place I love to take visitors is Billy Goats under Michigan Ave. Not a Culinary Delight but an experience... Cheeseburger Cheeseburger, Pepsi, No Coke. Chips- No Fries🤣
Southside here. The lakefront is the best
If your in the downtown area, take a water taxi to Chinatown and spend a few hours and dollars there. Ping Tom Park and Chinatown square. You won't regret it.
Love all your videos! Great idea to do a cheap eats, would love to see more of these cheap eats videos but for different neighborhoods in Chicago 😍
Worked downtown for years, Never heard of that coffee shop or Pittsfield. Fontono’s Fa sho I knew of, they have great sandwiches. Luke’s Yessu💪🏾, and Reggie’s pizza behind the CBEO building use to go there for lunch at least twice a week. And chicken planter is a few feet away from Reggie’s on Van Buren. And Billy Goats is right there as well….
thinking about making the move from Cleveland to Chicago.... love the vids
Chicago hot dog 🌭 the best ever
I'm heading to Chicago next month, and your videos have been SO helpful in deciding what to do and where to go! Honestly, I can feel the effort you put into making the content. Congrats on building a high quality channel, and I look forward to seeing you become one of the biggest travel TH-camrs out there!
Pittsfield is the BEST kept secret in the loop. Good cozy food and that atrium is just beautiful!!
I have passed by there many times. I have to try it.
Hey Luis.. Can you make a few videos on some of the suburbs like Evanston etc? Starting school there and watching your vids to get Chicago vibes before i join 😁
One of your first stops should be Tomate Fresh Kitchen. Hands down some of the best tacos in Chicagoland.
“It did warm up, it’s about 8 degrees now” LMAOOO doesn’t get more Chicago than that 🤣❤️
Hi Luis, British guy here.. After 3 years of watching your videos I'm finally visiting Chicago next year... love your channel man. Keep up the work my friend 😊
I ate at Luke’s on a recent trip to Chicago and that place is amazing for deals. Two really good meals for under $20, you can’t beat that
Silk Road of Chicago, hidden at the end of tiny street on LaSalle and Arcade Pl. Get the Spicy Chicken and extra sauce and drink for under $10.
Forgot about that place. Coworkers took me there a few years back when I first started.
Ronny's steakhouse
Ronnie’s is gone…rip
Dude props to you for braving the cold to do this food tour I hated walking to school in that
Cafecito also has phenomenal sandwiches under $10. The Cubano is the best Cuban sandwich in Chicago. The Jamon, Jerk, and Choripan also favorites of mine.
Bro, I ain't never seen anyone jump on the L to go from Washington and Wells to Washington and Wabash, must have been bone chilling cold for that... LOL. Why not just hail a taxi?
I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m planning a trip for a family of 5 to Chicago in the fall. Since airfare is expensive definitely need to jot down these places for cheap eats.
Yooo…I go to this old school spot on Broadway and Belmont called Chicken Hut. It’s EXACTLY like that Chicken Planet place right down to the sides of salsas. Sooo goood!! I wonder if it’s the same owners. Gotta be. Come up to ROGERS PARK next!!
Also, if your looking fir some of the best Mexican style chicken on the grill hit up Pollo express in pilsen, 18th st. All they do is grilled pollo with some bomb sides and it’s a good price too😎👍
I'm so glad to hear it's good! I work right near Chicken Hut and was wondering about it!
Yesss I came here to comment Pollo Express. That Tuesday / Thursday deal is no joke and it’s so good
wth made you go out in this effing cold?? But I do appreciate your fortitude...more chitown best cheap eats please!!
When you said "can of pop" I knew you were for real Chicago. I'm going to watch all of your videos
💯
Unfortunately I left Chicago in '94. Sold our loft for twice what we paid for it in just 2 years. 525 S. HALSTED. There were always great local cheap eats back then. But since I have been watching you guys there are 10 times as many great places to eat. I wish I never left.
Not a “cheap eat” but definitely a “cheap drink”: Ceres Cafe in the Board of Trade. $10-ish gets you a highball glass full of your liquor of choice plus a can of your desired mixer. Thrifty and dangerous lol.
Damn you got a slice of pizza and a pop for 5 bucks!?!
Your videos, music, editing, content, pacing are great man. Really talented.
Chicago does hot dogs the best sorry New york its us when it comes to the hot dog!!!!!
Luis Gusto 👍🏻🌬♥️I absolutely ♥️IT
I've been living in Chicago for 15 years and I still learn great things about my city from your videos. Kudos my man.
Man, couldn't have dropped this video sooner? Lol I'm sitting at the red line on State right now but leaving later today
😂
Hello Chicago Video is great and beautiful.
great video bud, been living in this great city for over 20 years and really enjoyed the video and editing :) not to mention the amazing spots you shared with us.Cheers!
Just moved a couple weeks ago! I know it’s not a “typical” foodie spot, but could you be willing to do a video on Streeterville (cheap eats or expensive is honestly welcome)? Would love to understand the neighborhood better and appreciate your content!
Cafecito is also in Streeterville on Chestnut. Their coffee is good but so is their Cubano and Rope Vieja :)
@@ashleyhaluck-kangas7284 thank you for the suggestion, Ashley! I will have to check them out.
Cheap eats- Bombay wraps and do-rite chicken and donuts
Great food- minghin and ramen San.
Would love to hear other people’s reccs too! It’s a little barren over here in my opinion.
is harolds considered cheap eats?
I stayed at the loop when I visited Chicago, wish I would knew some of this spots when I was there, next time I will check some of those spots out. I wanted go try Pittsfield Cafe bit they served breakfast at the hotel I stayed.
I thought Pittsfield closed!!! It's open???!
That was THE SPOT when I worked downtown LOLOL. I'm glad they are still there. I have to pay them a visit.
Fantano's is THE BEST sandwich shop in Chicago. Period.
You picked some great spots Luis.
Worked in the Loop from 1994-2015. Pittsfield Cafe is one of my favorites- also a great place for lunch. Lukes is a mini-chain which does have great hot dogs and a very good Italian Beef. Also, I moved to Southern Wisconsin, but there is a Luke's a few miles away from me here, so my taste of Chicago is accessible if I need it.
Luis,thank you and your crew for all the recommendations for Chicago. My lady friend and I are currently in the windy city and would've been lost if it wasn't for the vids. Thanks again, and I wish you all the best!
We're headed home to Chicago, where I was born, raised, lived, and worked for 60 years, in March. Been gone for a while and I'm writing notes so we can be armed with all this amazing information. You're such a great information guy and so personable. Thanks for giving us a ton of information that I've been gathering from several of your videos so far. I'll let you know where to got to and our ratings. 💖
Go to deliking in englewood
I'm a blue collar worker in another Midwest city, Fort Wayne, and I appreciate this video more than usual!
I also would love to see a part two to this cheapie foods!
Chicago 😍😍😍😍😋👍
LOVE the budget food vids Luis! Keep em coming!
I’m travelling to Chicago soon for work and have been bingeing your videos. Amazing content! Thanks, Luis!
Yeah, that hot🌭dog seems to be a pretty good deal...👌🏼💯✔️
The bad thing about this Fantano's location is they do not use the Gonella bread which takes it to the next level. I don't know why they only use Gonella at the Taylor street and use the poorer Turano bread at the other locations.
Love these! I worked right in wells and Jackson before having to wfh permanently. Cafecito, Luke's, Reggie's, and Chicken Planet were some of my regular spots. Miss it all! Keep it coming....God Bless!
Byron's Hot Dogs,...near Wrigley Field is THE best. Eat there before attending a Cubs game and save money on concessions. It is definitely Chicago Style. (Just DONT get ketchup on your Hot Dog)
Glad to see you concentrate on one part of the city. Other hosts are like we are start in Beverly, go to Rodgers Park for lunch, and finish in Naperville.
Mad love from elmwood park.
Born in oak park and raised in Pilsen. Moved to elmwood 5 years ago.
That Italian sub at Fontana's looked bomb...🔥 Definitely going there next time I'm in that area!
Their subs are awesome!
Everything looked so good, Luis.
Went to Plant Chicken today and it was very good. The chicken was crispy and juicy! Thanks for the recommendation!
I'm moving to Uptown from out of state and I've really loved all your content. It's helped so much. Not skipping leg days is just icing on the cake, baby. Thanks for all the videos!
Not that cold!! I remember -20 days not nights. DAYS. LOL. I love home. Miss it.
Lived in the loop for over a decade and Fontana's is relatively new to the loop and right down the block from me. I was skeptical being a local, but looking forward to trying it out now! Thank you for the great local picks 🙏🏽
Just found your channel today and I am enjoying! Fontano's on Carpenter and Polk is money. My cousins live in that nieghborhood.
Bro, I love these videos. Keep the cheap eats Chicago going. Question, what is the cheapest pizza in Chicago besides franchise pizza places? Thanks.
Those look like some good options. I’ll have to check them out. Always looking for more suggestions for restaurants.
I really enjoyed your video, I found it ironic that this popped up while I’m in Chicago driving buses for today.
I used to get the Italian sub at Fontano's all the time for lunch when I worked in the Loop. Thanks for the reminder to visit again!
Born and raised... holidays and winter have a certain vibe here and I love it so much.
Taqueria El Jardin 1303 West Huron, the best Tacos and Burritos ever!
Any tourists here should know that these are super good suggestions.
Really enjoy your videos. I’m from Canada and been to Chicago once and had a blast. Planning another trip this summer so all your videos are helping!
Im moving to Chicago in 2 months...seems like it's so much to do up there...cant wait to get up there
Thanks Luis ! I know where to eat in downtown Chicago when I'm on a budget.
bro you da man!
Appreciate you bro 💯🙏🏼
You da man!
Fontano's is the best! I used to work by the one in Little Italy.
Pollo Tropical is trash. Don't offend chicken planet like that 🤣
Going to Cubs Opining Day in 20 days, thanks for the great info
thank you for not eating at a deep dish pizza place cause everyone seems to think chicagoans only eat deep dish pizza when in reality most of us don't even like deep dish pizza and eat either beggars, italian fiesta or another pizza spot.
Lukes Past Bowl is so good, I ate there two days straight the first time I visited.
Luis I have a question? I will be coming to Chicago in mid October, to the best of your knowledge, will these specials be around in mid October, excellent video and important information.
AFAIK yes
Definitely the pizza one you have a video for best taco spots?
I got a Fontanos right by my house way on the south side, I should eat there more.
Great job on the video man. You could have your own show on travel channel
Didn’t know about most of these places.
I work 2mins from Pittsfield and I love the breakfast, I have to try Fontano, we definitely have the best hot dogs
I love that you are looking for the good eats in Chicago!
So cool makes me want to go to all of them !!!
2-2-2 for $9.99? Inflation is Hell
Can you do a video of a day trip straight from the airport
Chicken Planet is awesome. Have it all the time.
Is it always so quiet? Great video man
Yesss, love this video! Definitely do more of these but in different neighborhoods.
👍
Im leaving for Chicago in the morning. I'll be there for 3 days. Will definitely check out at least one of your suggestions. Probably Reggie's pizza or chicken planet. Thanks for the tips!
Fontana’s pizza is 🔥🔥 too. This place just has very good food. So does Cafecito. Delicious sandwiches along with the plantains.
Pittsfield Cafe is so great. Love that place. Everything is so good. I used to go there frequently when I worked in the AON Center.
Pittsfield cafe is awesome. I actually like the ambiance of being inside that building too. So affordable, especially where it is.
I've been here for since starting at UIC in 2014. Never heard of these (well except Fontano's but new location near me is neat).
thanks for this continue learning about here....moved 5 months ago to chicago...
