    I gotta give you props, you’re hitting up the Southside hard in this video. You rarely see the south or the west showcased in Chicago vlogs.

    Lived in Chicago for 20+ years...I've heard of Greek Corner because I lived in Ukrainian Village. Never heard of any of these other places though. South Side is a completely different world than North Side, and highly underrated.

    I usually go to Ferro’s on 31st & Wentworth or Nicky’s on 58th & Kedzie for rib tips but I’ll have to take a trip out to Lem’s because those rib tips looked amazing. I think all of the lesser-known Chicago foods are what make Chicago a truly elite food city lol. Rib tips, Big Baby burgers, breaded steak sandwiches, depression dogs, Maxwell Street Polishes, etc. We are beyond spoiled.

    I used to work at 209 W Jackson. I probably ate at Luke's too much. Oh well, every meal was great. Guilty of having too many pizza slices from there as well. A true 'pat down all the grease' kinda slice.

    I was born and raised north of chicago. I always loved getting chicago dogs. When I moved to Loiusville, KY, there are quite a few "Chicago style" restaurants that sold knock off chicago style hotdogs. Either they didn't use vienna beef hotdogs or they had the wrong toppings or wrong bun. None of them could get it right. That was until I found this little mom and pop place. The owner is from Chicago and he and his wife wanted to open up a genuine Chicago eatery. They had the vienna beef hotdog, the bright green relish, all the correct toppings including the celery salt. It's my only little slice of Chicago out here.

    Lem's is the only place for ribs and rib tips been a patron since they opened, I love Calumet Fisheries and would go there at least once a week or more for many many years. I am a South Sider so not familiar with the other places but will give them all a chance soon.

    You must either:
    1. Do these videos over weeks
    2. Hit the gym almost throughout the rest of the day
    3. Throw it all up bulimia style
    4. Just take one bite of everything for the video
    If I did everything you did in these videos I'd be like Brendan Fraser in the Whale.
