Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm reviewing this one alone because it is pure cheese. I ripped off a piece. It's supposed to be authentic Greek cheese and they put some lemon on it.

The chicken is absolutely banging. So is the bite that I just had. Oh my gosh. This is just as good as the meat in in Greece.

I honestly can't believe how good those gluten-free pancakes are. They really don't even taste gluten-free.

This might even be better than some I've had in in London. That is really good.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Save room for dessert at Greek Islands.
Expect a wait at Wildberry, even in winter.
Pack layers for unpredictable Chicago weather.
Do the river walk and consider renting a boat with a hot tub.

YouTube Video Description

If you're heading to Chicago and need to know where to eat, this video is for you! My family is from Chicago, so they told me the best places to try, and WOW—every spot was amazing. We started at Greek Islands for their famous flaming cheese (OPA!🔥), then grabbed the most insane gluten free pancakes at Wildberry the next morning, and wrapped it up with an incredible dinner at The Smith. If you’re planning a trip, celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, or just exploring the city, these are the places you NEED to check out. Trust me, you’re gonna leave hungry after watching this one!
