When you're talking about Authentic Tex-Mex or Southern BBQ in the upper Midwest you really need to put the "Authentic" in quotes. BBQ in Chicago is a perfectly grilled Maxwell Street Polish.
Every region has a specialty. For us it's deep-dish pizza with sausage covering the entire bottom of a buttered crust. It's Italian Beef soaked through the roll "au jus." It's a Vienna Beef hot dog served on a poppy seed bun because a 'dog isn't a 'dog unless it snaps when you bite it.

If you want to risk life and limb in pursuit of a meal, don't go grizzly hunting. Walk into one of those aforementioned south-side eateries and ask them to put ketchup on your hot dog. The bullet-proof glass isn't there to protect the folks behind the counter. It's there to protect the tourists who don't know any better.
Among all the jerseys I own for any team in any sport, there is only one in my closet that has a name and number on it. In the NFL HOF, the Chicago Bears dominate in two player position categories. The first being line backers with Butkus arguably the greatest among them. The other position is well represented by the man I consider, the greatest football player of all time. The only player number I wear belongs to the guy hurdling three line backers in this pic...
