I forget Boeing and the west loop start at the river. I think of it as more west of 90/94. Gaijan is my favorite restaurant in west loop cause it’s the only place I’ve found proper okonomiyaki.

Gotta ask this: Where do YOU find yourself on the great Pizza Debate? Would love your comparisons/thoughts, of course! BTW, have you and/or your parents dined at Alinea?

@Jamesnu 3 ай бұрын

I would say New York has the best pizza, but I don't particularly care too much, I really like variety and I'm not a stickler when it comes to the matter. No, I haven't been to Alinea yet, but I'm planning to visit.

I was holding my breath for an Alina review. Did you know GaiJin means Foreigner and usually meant to be derogatory. Lol. Also is it a reach to have a crooked sculpture to frame Chicago (AL Capone). Overall, I enjoyed this video!

@Jamesnu 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yeah, I wish that I was able to go to Alinea. Someday, when I have more money or am at least lucky enough to get a reservation, I'll eat there. Yeah, I've heard that gaijin means that. The chef isn't Japanese, but I still don't think it was the best idea to call his restaurant that. At least the food was good.

Hey James what part of the city did you grow up in?

@Jamesnu Жыл бұрын

I was born on the south west side, but then my parents moved to the suburbs. Later I went to college in Rogers Park and then moved to Lincoln Park for graduate school. I definitely enjoyed living in Lincoln Park!

so nothing but coffee in the west loop?

@Jamesnu Жыл бұрын

There's definitely a lot great coffee shops in the neighborhood, but the West Loop probably has the best restaurants in Chicago. The problem is that most of them aren't open for lunch, which really limited the spots I could showcase for this video.
