Visiting the Windy City is a lot of fun, especially if you’re going to be taking a Chicago lake cruise. Chicago has so much to see and do, and you may be wondering about some of the city’s iconic cuisine. Chicago is known for some pretty fabulous food, so if you’re hoping to do a culinary tour in addition to your lake cruise, the following information can get you started with some tasty ideas.
Deep Dish Pizza
NYC may be known for the slice, but Chicago is the home of the deep dish pizza. This dense, rich pie has a buttery, crispy crust that fills the pan so that it can easily hold all of the delicious ingredients inside. Inside the crust you’ll find a mound of mozzarella, green peppers, onions, and peppers that are all topped off with tomato sauce. Finish the whole thing off with a knife and fork.
Steak
Another food that Chicago is celebrated for its incredible steak. Top steakhouses in the city get the best of the best local meat and cook it to absolute perfection. As if to further cement Chicago’s steak obsession, there are even steakhouse tours that you can go on after you’re done with your cruise.
Hot Dog
Chicago is as hot dog crazy as it is sports crazy. Chicago hot dogs are made from Vienna beef franks that are water-bathed before being loaded onto a bun and topped off with hot peppers, chopped onions, dill pickles, green relish, mustard, tomato slices and celery salt.
