Make a reservation to visit Chicago – on Tuesday

It’s not too often that Anthony Bourdain visits cities in the U.S., so I’m sure this will be a treat. I’m thinking that the combination of the gritty city and Tony’s edgy personality will be a mix we won’t soon forget. I understand that he’s got some UNFINISHED BUSINESS to rectify (uh-oh).

When people think of Chicago they think of deep-dish pizza, hot dogs, seafood from the Calumet River and Mancow Muller, Chicago’s own shock jock. Tony decides to put all of them to the test and soak in even a bit more of Chicago, such as meeting with avant-garde chef Homaro Cantu, and dinning at the famous L20. He even makes an appearance at a backyard BBQ, for homemade specialties like sausage, creamed corn and beans.

Tony concludes that although Chicago has been dubbed ‘the Second City’ – Chicago holds it’s own as a great metropolis and in fact needs no comparison. Make sure you watch on a full stomach, because the food looks delicious!
