25 Classic Chicago Restaurants to Try

"Al's Beef has been a Chicago legend since 1938, and though it has branches of varying quality all over the city, the Taylor Street location is the original and always reliable and consistent (unlike most other locations, they still make the beef on-premises). Order a beef dipped with hot peppers, and then assume the proper eating stance — hunched over — so you don’t drip gravy all over yourself." - Samantha Nelson
