Chicago is an elite food town. Few places can do high-end (restaurants like Alinea, Oriole, Smyth, and Ever) while also doing low-end (Superdawg, Johnnies Beef, Vito and Nick\u2019s, Birrieria Zaragoza, Nhu Lan, and Ghareeb Nawaz) as well as Chicago does. <\/p>\n

Chicago\u2019s prominence in the national (and global) food scene is equally hard to dispute, with loads of famous dishes like Deep Dish Pizza, Italian Beef, Chicago Style Hot Dog, Tavern Pizza, and lesser-known but also prominent Jibaritos, Saganaki, Maxwell Polish, and Mild Sauce Wings. You can\u2019t go wrong eating in Chicago. <\/p>\n

But what Chicago-style food goes best with <\/strong>Chicago Bears<\/strong><\/a> football? <\/strong><\/p>\n

My answer? <\/p>\n

An Italian Beef sandwich. <\/p>\n

\"FOOD-CHICAGO-ITALIAN-BEEF-TB\"<\/p>\n

My love of Chicago\u2019s food scene is serious, and I think each of the aforementioned dishes and restaurants have an appropriate time and place. However, when I am watching the Beloved trounce another inferior opponent, I want thinly sliced beef atop a Turano French roll, covered in sweet peppers and giardiniera, delicately dunked into well-seasoned au jus. It just makes sense. <\/p>\n

Now, to me this is food you eat at home (or at the establishment for which you purchase the beef). If I find myself at Soldier Field, then I\u2019ll go Chicago Dog every time. While equally as complex, each component intertwines in a manner that is more conducive to public eating. <\/p>\n

So long as it comes with an Old Style on the side and a bag Jays potato chips, I\u2019ll be happy with any of the above. <\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s your turn – what Chicago-style food goes best with Bears football? Sound off in the comments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chicago is an elite food town.
