Here are some Chicago suggestions:
If you are willing to REALLY spend some money, I'd recommend a dinner at Charlie Trotter's. It's been named one of the 1001 places to visit before you die, and I can vouch that it deserves being called a lifetime experience.
For a more reasonably priced dinner, go to one of the Francesca's. It's a small chain in the Chicago area that has what I consider to be the best bang for the buck Italian food. You can get entrees from $12-20 that will rival the best Italian food anywhere. Google "Francesca's Chicago" and go to whichever location is most conveniant. I've been to several and they've all been consistently great.
For your cheap (maybe lunchtime) type stops, you have to go to at least a couple of the famous hotdog spots. Superdogs is probably my favorite. Dear god, please don't ask for ketchup. :squint: Portillo's, Al's Beef, or Weiner Circle are other good spots.
And go down to Lou Mitchell's at least once for breakfast.
