"Since 1924, McKinley Park has been the home for arguably the best chili in the city. Their legend has grown into large plates of chili cheese fries that Southsiders swear by, and gigantic milk shakes that take two to three people to tackle. You can get a hot dog or a tamale instead, if you’re feeling more tame than usual." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff
