Bourdain is very good at locating great street food. His recommendations are worth looking into.
Obviously, UNO's deep dish pizza is a must-go, though it's not really "street", since it sits on the Magnificent Mile, which is Chicago's best area. On the lower ground level of the Sears Tower, there's the Cheesecake Factory, which serves nice food and famous cheesecake.
South Side has good street food on the cheap. Be careful of your surroundings, however; Chicago is a middling city in American urban safety rankings, but that's because all the bad stuff are concentrated in the same neighborhoods!Last edited by Triple C; 22 Jul 14,, 08:20.All those who are merciful with the cruel will come to be cruel to the merciful.

Are you heading there before October? If you are, congratulations: you will be among the last customers ever to eat at Hot Doug's, considered one of best hot dog joints in America, before it closes. The chef/owner is closing it down because he's tired of making sausages all the time. Even I haven't been there. They are famous for fine dinning on a blue-collar budget. On sausages, that is.
I have been to UNOs and had their deep dish pizza. It's delicious and filling, and it's not better or worse than NYC pizza. It's just a different animal.All those who are merciful with the cruel will come to be cruel to the merciful.
