Mark, this proves again why you are the best food blogger on the Internet. Your attention to detail your research before you visit different cuisine or restaurants is second to none. Thank you for showcasing my beautiful city that I’ve known for 58 years.
My husband is Boricua! he was soo happy you tried a puerto rican dish, he recommends you go to Puerto Rico ! you will love it, puerto rican food is delicious! 🇵🇷🇵🇷 glad you loved the jibarito dish .
Your bro-in-law is the man for putting you on to all the real Chicago favorites, this series is ridiculously awesome thank you guys for this my city should be proud
Loving you & Derek together. Wish he had time to travel with you around the world because the appreciation his has for food and his good natured temperament makes him a top class companion. Keep this series going, Mark.
I agree. I wish he and Derek traveled more together. Derek compliments Mark so well. I watch their San Diego VLOG and the Little Miss BBQ in AZ all the time. I need more of it.
Keep em coming Mark! Show off what Chicago has to provide to the world! People really need to stop hearing or seeing the bad news the media shows and instead focus on what Chicago really has to offer. Beautiful Chicago! 👏
Absolutely I’m tired tired of the negativity! I’ve lived here for 50 years, and will defend it to the end! Thanks for showcasing our great cuisine! Second to none!
Filming in a van by himself with the door open and a car seat in the back....Mark is continually genuine and never pretentious. This is why we love him!🥰
Nothing to do with whether he’s pretentious or not, more like he’s not being aware of his surroundings. Protect your family. Know where you are. Close and lock the doors.
As a Chicago native for my entire life… dude. You are hitting every single spot. You’re making ME jealous because you are having every single place I have eaten and wish I did more often. You’re eating the best we have to offer. Enjoy our city!!!! Love ya bud
Ah man just discovered this channel! I'm in Andorra currently and I haven't discovered the local food yet! I make videos whilst traveling the world but don't do any local food reviews! He's doing this so right! Much to learn
Mark is the best food blogger on Earth. he is the moast possitive and cheerful person , who makes everybodies day possitive and happy. thank you mark for doing a great job!!!!
Mark Wiens is killing it with this fantastic series about Chicago. Me having family from the Chi, the series really hits home!! Thanks for all the great work you do Mr. Wiens. Being a fan of yours is a great honor!!
Mark, you and your brother in law are like two children with a Child soul discovering every time their new "Toys" with such an "naive", kind and sweet approach that it's a pure gem seeing you both eating!!!! thank you for helping me traveled through your videos and sharing your passion, be all blessed and safe 🙏😂🤗😋
Mark is so humble. He has incredible knowledge but when people tell him a fact he almost certainly knows, like what a broiler does, he doesn’t need to let them know he already knew.
With all due respect, Mark, your brother-in-law is by far the star of the show. What a fantastic gentleman he needs his own RUclips channel I will subscribe right now.
I loved this Chicago series and I will make sure that I visit most of these places. By the way you and your brother-in-law make such an excellent combination you should do this with him more often
Mark, you've probably been asked this a thousand times but, how do you stay so thin after eating all of this food? Between you and Sonny, you have the most the most enjoyable food channels on the net. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
WOW Mark! You have hit it on the head when it comes to spots locals actually eat at in Chicago. This whole series is so different from all other Chicago food tours I’ve seen. You are definitely killing it 👍
I love the fun that you, Derrick, and the family have that amount of fun eating meals together. I love the 1 liners thrown in here and there. You guys are awesome together.
One of the best jobs a human being can possibly have .travel ,eat ,and create content I watch every single one of his videos always with a positive attitude and charisma.
Mark, I'm puerto rican and have had A Lot of puerto rican food in my life both here and in PR. Jibaritos y Mas is my favorite restaurant. The food only comes second against my abuela's. God rest her soul.
The plantain used to replace bread helps many people who are gluten/wheat intolerant, kudos to señor Munoz😎....I need to try that brownie😋...thank you mark😎
I’m a New Yorker, so I’m used to hearing a lot of trash talk about my city as well, but you all have an AMAZING city there! If I was ever reborn in a different place, I would hope for Chicago lol
With the skill of your editing and your charisma, it astounds me that you're not on network television by now. I hope you always get the reach you want with your content, Mark, you really deserve it.
The thing most people know from takeout was invented in Chicago. Chinese foor take-out container was 1st used for oysters but failed and adopted by chinese restaurants. It unfolds to be used as a serving bowl, something a lot of people don't know.
As an asian American from chicago, yes, Great Seas is where they invented the lollipop chicken wings. They are super crispy and tasty. Would drive all the way to the north side city to get these
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.
😮Nice to see you in Chicago Mark. Since you have the kids along, here’s a couple of iconic ice cream shops you should try: Rainbow Cone, serving since 1926, five flavors of ice cream sliced and layered in a cone, and Margie’s Candy, serving since 1921, for hot fudge sundaes.
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.
If you want Chicken Vesuvio, you got to go to the Italian Village. It is the oldest/standard place. It's been around since 1927. They did not create it, but they have the oldest recipe dating back to the origins of the dish.
You know Mark is a great guy. He has a sweet relationship with his Brother in law. To plan to do a family food tour is extremely awesome. I love Mark Weins and he's in my are Illinois
Great video Mark 👍 Love the Jibaritos 🇵🇷 *Harry Caray's highlight years came as a Cubs announcer.. "Holy Cow!" -but often overlooked are his years with the White Sox! Just a touch of history in regards to this Chicago special 😎
Give Geranimo a raise. And a shout out. That is tough cooking and then on camera. He's a proud and seasoned chef. Much love to the people who cook our beautiful food. I love him and many like him. That is passion.
Chicago has so many places to go eat. Mark you and your family have to come back to Chicago. Chicago has some of the best soul foods here that there is. I am from Chicago and I still live here you and your family is always welcome here. I wish you could have went into some neighborhood in Chicago and ate at the restaurants we have. You must come back there is so so much more.❤❤❤
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. ❤
This video take 'snacking' to a whole new level! 'Hot dogs' are more like a work of art, 'popcorn' comes in flavors you didn't even know existed, and 'deep-fried everything' is a state of mind (yes, even Twinkies). Makes me really wanna go to Chicago very soon and have a mukbang for a TV show lol.
I'm a chef in Chicago. Chicken vesuvio was the first dish i learned at my first restaurant. It seems super fancy and great to impress women with on a cheap home date lol
You really outdid yourself in this series. Derek is the real deal and a proud Chicago Kid. The MIL was sold at Fun Town so I’m a bit surprised he never had one. Maybe I’m aging myself.
I watch your videos as a vegetarian …😊 I can appreciate good food and the people who make it, whether it’s meat or veg. Thank you for enlightening us with good food finds around the globe! 🍕🍊🥑🌶️🥥🥯🥨🧀🍗🌭🍛🥟🧁
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. 😋
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.
Love your personality and your videos!! I'm born and raised in Chicago and I love how you have captured the great essence of how great our food is here. Thank for an enjoyable trip through our town!!!❤

Hell yeah brother!
@@bryant07681 Gotta love it. Most reviewers stick to the downtown area and don’t move around the entire city of Chicago 👌🏼
You made Chicago proud with this one Mark! Love the vids
Mark, I am loving this Chicago series with your brother in law! Very fun!
No matter where Mark goes to indulge, he is always respectful and genuine to the people in that area. Keep up the great work Mark!
Filming in a van by himself with the door open and a car seat in the back....Mark is continually genuine and never pretentious. This is why we love him!🥰
I was thinking the samething lol. I’m like is he gonna close the door and lock it lbs.
except he sounds dumb when trying to pronounce Spanish names! lol
He's going to get jacked
Nothing to do with whether he’s pretentious or not, more like he’s not being aware of his surroundings. Protect your family. Know where you are. Close and lock the doors.

Here from Chicago. I’ve always watched your videos and liked them. You can tell you’re a genuine food lover and a genuine person overall. No 🧢.
Every time I watch Mark; I get hungry! He should be made an ambassador of good will!! Always respectful and kind! Ying too!❤
Me2😂
Mark brings love to all humankind❤
My wife is from Puerto Rico and she turned me onto this plantain and I love them know and we are going to try this our self for football weekend!

Chicago is the best food city in America, so many unique and local foods not common elsewhere.
Derek's good attitude and smart comments (and his fam) rock all those foodie videos!!! Stay safe, eat healthier 🙏🙏🙏⚡⚡⚡!!!
The plantain used to replace bread helps many people who are gluten/wheat intolerant, kudos to señor Munoz😎....I need to try that brownie😋...thank you mark😎
It's nice to hear good things about Chicago!
It’s with any city lol
The good and the bad
I’m a New Yorker, so I’m used to hearing a lot of trash talk about my city as well, but you all have an AMAZING city there! If I was ever reborn in a different place, I would hope for Chicago lol
no one can deny the food is the best in the north Americas.
@@ninja_tonyi am from Chicago and i feel the same about New York. You have a beautiful city to be proud of.
Really love these family episodes. Your brother in law is the perfect foodie friend.
Thank you very much!
With the skill of your editing and your charisma, it astounds me that you're not on network television by now. I hope you always get the reach you want with your content, Mark, you really deserve it.
He’ll be taking a pay cut If he do that
He doesn’t need TV he’s got 10 million viewers .
He is definitely doing better for himself here on You Tube. How many channels do you know that have 10mil subscribers?
Great job to the Chef that made the steak and visuvio. Reminded me of my kitchen days. Made it look easy.
Great seas & jibarito y mas, this is easily one of the greatest little known Chicago food vlogs
Chicago never misses. Their food there is jaw-droppingly fantastic.
Well I guess with that discription we know it's good😂
Correct - A - Mundo
Yea pizza and fried crap,perfect for the typical obese American 😅
The food and people of Chicago are trash. Pure garbage but a step up from jersey folks
The thing most people know from takeout was invented in Chicago. Chinese foor take-out container was 1st used for oysters but failed and adopted by chinese restaurants. It unfolds to be used as a serving bowl, something a lot of people don't know.
As an asian American from chicago, yes, Great Seas is where they invented the lollipop chicken wings. They are super crispy and tasty. Would drive all the way to the north side city to get these
No sorry the restaurant in Chinatown called the Junk had these in the early 70's but they where called drums of heaven!
Mark you literally showed love to the whole city. Much respect 💯
I love how humble Mark is! He’s got 10 million subscribers and still living like a normal person!!
I love watching the joy on your face Mark when you taste your first bite. Everything looks so yummy. ❤❤❤❤
Mark - I love, love this family tour and taste of Chicago. I am enjoying the mouthwatering diverse foods. Excellent video
Mark, I really appreciate you describing the history behind each dish so well. You're doing a great job carrying on Bourdain's legacy.
Lets not go crazy. Bourdain was a poet, an artist. Mark is great, but Bourdain is Bourdain
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.

You covered Chicago perfectly, as a lifelong Chicagoan, it feels great to see someone finally do it the right way. Best city in the world!
Seeing this series makes me miss living in Chicago.
The chicken Vesuvio in Chicago is the best I've ever seen on the internet.great job Geronimo and may GOD bless you
As a life long Chicago guy my wife and I been to all these places and my man Mark is on point 💯🇵🇷
Thank you very much!
You know Mark is a great guy. He has a sweet relationship with his Brother in law. To plan to do a family food tour is extremely awesome. I love Mark Weins and he's in my are Illinois

The ONE thing I miss about my hometown Chicago is the food.
Give Geranimo a raise. And a shout out. That is tough cooking and then on camera. He's a proud and seasoned chef. Much love to the people who cook our beautiful food. I love him and many like him. That is passion.
Super pleased to see the jibarito featured here! They're so incredibly delicious, and when you pair it with Puerto Rican rice it's unforgettable.
Love the back stories of the food. Welcome to Chicago!
The Steak Sweet, The Freddy, Shrimp Dejonghe, The Big Baby Burger, and Carmel and Cheddar Popcorn were also invented in Chicago.
Garrett Chicago mix popcorn 😋
Mark starting off with that Jibarito I love ittttt. Representing the 🇵🇷🇵🇷
Yess!! And that’s the spot I always go to
@@leticiagomez8681 I’ve been there a few times good spot
Mark….this would be a great time for you to visit Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and then Dominican Republic 🇩🇴. You will absolutely love the people and the food.
Chicago has so many places to go eat. Mark you and your family have to come back to Chicago. Chicago has some of the best soul foods here that there is.

Mark you need to do a Mexican taco tour of Chicago try Atotonilco pastor tacos! And international asada (47th& Ashland) tacos !!
Try the one on 26th. I feel like it's a tad better.

You totally are!😂 He probably wasn't even born before it closed.
@@RitaLady yeah. It closed in 1982
Times like these, at least we can agree on good food. Praying for more good on everything else. Thanks Mark and team.
for those avoiding bread, that plantain sandwich ROCKS!
The mother in law jokes made my day! Thank you so much for showing me some amazing food and making me smile ❤
Jibaritos have always been one of my favorites. thanks for doing it justice
I'm from Chicago, so I know all these spots. Great job Mark.
I love How you and your Brother-in-law are just fine with messy and good. I would love to eat all that yummy food too !!

Puerto Rican food is phenomenal
Lived in Chicago my whole life never heard of mother in law thx for sharing
Omg thank you for trying lollipop wing!!!! Grew up eating there and since I moved I just buy the sauce bottles and make them at home!
used to get those wings from Great Sea a couple times a month when I worked in that area. love that place so much...
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!
Chicago!!!! My CITY and you atE a JIBARITO!!!! YOUR A FOOD LEGEND
I just cooked a Chicken Vesuvio last week for the first time, and it's so good! Great job spotlighting these plates, Mark.
I just requested it from my wife, since we moved from Chicago to Arizona 3 years ago, she hasn't made it yet.
Really enjoying the chicago series. As a ch 0:36 chicagoan im glad youre putting a light on the great food culture of this great city
You did Chicago well and proud.
Loving Derek on the review u guys have good chemistry would love to see more of him
So cute the kids breakin the baseball! 🥰
Jibaritos y más is the best place for PR food. You did great with this video thank you for visiting our beautiful city.
