Here in Chicago, we take pride in our culinary accomplishments.
Home to some of the world’s greatest chefs and their mouth-watering innovations, Chicago has such a vast variety of delectable food groups that we thought it might be best to sort them into our very own food pyramid of greatness, Ron Swanson-style.
From our legendary deep dish pizza to our relish-topped Chicago dog—hold the ketchup—there’s nothing quite as delicious as some of our most iconic confections.

A passion for words takes up the forefront of her mind, but you can also find Kali happily daydreaming about traveling abroad in the summertime. Big sunglasses, even bigger books, perennial plants, and obscure art are among the few items you might find in Kali’s room, and she’s always eager to have a discussion about social issues. You can often find her madly typing her latest book into existence, currently Sinister Chicago.
