- We travel to Chicago to give you our top 5 list of must eat iconic Chicago desserts. Chicago is home to some of the best desserts on the planet. Heck we could to a top 10 list of best doughnuts alone. But today the focus is just on the iconic. We are talking desserts that were invented here or have a long history here and stood the test of time. Desserts that when you just look at them, you think Chicago. So here are our top must eat and Best of Chicago desserts.
#5 Portillo's Chocolate Cake Shake. The Chocolate Cake Shake is a staple at this Chicago area chain. Portillo's bakes their rich chocolate cakes fresh on sight and load them up with a rich fudge chocolate frosting. The recipe to this famous chocolate cake shake is easy. Vanilla ice cream, a big fat slice of chocolate cake frosting and all, and a bit of chocolate syrup. These ingredients are given a quick blend and served. The best part of this delicious shake is the little bits of cake pieces that get sucked up through the straw.
#4 Paczki's at Weber's Bakery. Weber's Bakery has been around since 1930 and it is the oldest bakery in Chicago. Weber's turns out wonderful donuts, breads and cakes. But once a year the people of Chicago go paczki crazy! Fat Tuesday or some Chicagoans call it Paczki Day, Weber's start selling their freshly made paczki's at 4 AM. Make sure you pre order. The lines for this Polish Dessert can get pretty long and they do sell out. Chicago has one of the largest Polish populations outside of Poland and they love their paczki's.
#3 Palmer House Hotel's Brownie. The elegant Palmer House in downtown Chicago is were this next iconic Dessert was invented. Bertha Palmer insisted that the Brownie, that was invented in her hotel's kitchen be served at the 1898 worlds fair. The recipe that was used for the fair is still the same as the Brownie the Palmer House serves guests today.
#2 Garrett's Popcorn Shop Chicago. Garrett's Popcorn Shops the Original Chicago-Style Popcorn has been around since 1949. It is impossible not to be drawn into their shops with the warm smell of freshly popped popcorn luring you in. Garrett's was pretty much put on the map for one iconic flavor combination.... The Chicago Mix! The Chicago Mix is Garrett's mix of their savory cheese corn popcorn mixed with their irresistibly sweet Carmel corn. This is the perfect flavor combination. It's of favorite of Oprah's!
#1 The Original Rainbow Cone. The Original Rainbow cone has been a Chicago institution for the last 95 years. The tower of flavor has stayed the same that whole time. Chocolate, Strawberry, Palmer House, Pistachio, Orange Sherbet. Sliced never scooped. It just puts a smile on your face.

I love Chicago FOOD!
We love Chicago!
That cake shake looks interesting. For that Polish pastry, you guys were probably up there during this years Winter storms. I think that was the dessert that sounded the most tasty to me.
Cake shake is so good!!!
Living in Chicago, we have tried every single one of these and I wholeheartedly agree with this list. Our oldest daughter loves the Cake Shake, Our youngest dauter fav is the Chicago Mix Popcorn, the wife and my favorite is Rainbow Cone!! Great list!
Wow! That means a lot coming from the Albans! We have a love affair with Chicago! It’s kind of our go-to city. Nyc is about the same distance but we love the Chicago people! Tough Midwestern’s!
That cake shake sounds incredible! 7 degrees, yikes! When you close your eyes after you take a bite, so good! We love Chicago mix popcorn! That rainbow cone is so fun! Love it guys!
You are starting to be the food expert during road trips channel. Portillo’s is the best!!! I love their chocolate cake!!! When I was a kid, I got Polaski Day off because of the Polish population. I’m not ready for that snow. Now I know where the Brownie was invented, never knew!!! I worked a block away from Garretts when I worked in the City. Melissa’s favorite is the Rainbow Cone!!! You must have had some hyped up kids.
All the schools in the state of Illinois used to get off for Pulaski Day (we did!). I don’t think that’s the case now: it’s an optional state holiday for schools
yeah, we love to eat. I can't stop thinking about your last video. We've done that stop and I couldn't find a way to make it not 30 seconds long. Yours was totally video worthy and entertaining from start to finish!
@@DoodletheTravelBug Thanks so much. I had to include a few others. Took awhile to figure out how to put it together so it made sense. Really working on good story telling. Thank you for noticing.
Atomic cake on the next one!
I want to eat all of that!! 🤤 Everything looked sooo good!! ❤️ I'm half Polish and I've never heard of that pastry... Yum!
I’ll remind you next Fat Tuesday to get yourself some!!!
I don’t know how you picked a favorite 🤩 they all looks sooo good 😊
Those are all such great memories! Buffalo is really unique! Thanks for the comments friend!!!
Yummy
Wait…Palmer House invented the BROWNIE? (How did we miss this living so close?)
You’ll be back!!!
Sorry Portillos cakes are not made on sight. They are brought in from their factory in Aurora Il
oops thanks for the note. Read that online...ugh Thanks friend
@@DoodletheTravelBug Because they are made @ the Portillo's factory they are allowed to say they make them "on site", meaning they are not outsourced from another company. So, the statement is considered true. 😉👍
