What are the bottom two?

Hot dogs and pizza are awesome. Chicago deep dish, I only had it once in the windy. So yea maybe it wasnt the best, but it was really good. The reason the difference is important, chicago deep dish vs pizza from anywhere else in the states, is like the difference between a slice of warm melty pie and a sandwhich. Sure, its best if you sit down at a table for either one, but the sandwich you can eat while walking if needed.

That lineup of toppings for their basic hotdogs, they have a name for it right?

The bottom left is called a Jibarito, they are really popular on the NW side. Basically a sandwich with fried plantains (think tostones) instead of bread. Definitely my favorite of the 4 options here.

Bottom right is an Italian Beef; I think it’s usually just bread, roast beef, and giardiniera.

(I live in Chicago)

As a New Yorker whos heavily biased against Chicago this is just untrue. I mean sure deep dish sucks but tavern style is almost as good as New Haven (possibly because its just New Haven). Other than that Italian beef is good and the Chicago dog is amazing (the only place ketchup belongs is in the trash).
