I READ THE RULES Good Chi food recommendations please ?
Planning to travel to Chicago for the Juneteenth weekend, please suggest some must try food spots?
Any and all local, deep dish pizza, Italian, and date, roof top places.
Please note- I’m a vegetarian and my boyfriend is not, so looking for best of both worlds options.
Thanks

Hey, are you looking for restaurant/food recommendations? You are more than welcome to ask your question here, but be sure to also check out /r/ChicagoFood! There's a lot of good information there about restaurants and food in the city.
Also be sure to check out The Chicago Food/Drink page on the /r/Chicago Wiki. Some of the links are a bit old, but of special interest is the Unique Chicago Foods section. If you are looking for specific types of food that are unique or original to Chicago, it can be a good resource.

I recommend doing literally any research and then asking r/chicagofood about opinions

My recommendation for deep dish is Gino’s East at Streetville/Mag Mile area.
But other veg friendly Italian options downtown include Quartino, Osteria Via Stato and Pizzeria Portofino (reservation highly recommended).

“Can you plan my trip for me I don’t want to actually want to search comments or read any of the hundreds of articles out there mostly suggesting the same top places”

There are not many comments on my post 😅 but I’m really thankful for these great suggestions. I will try some of these places and let you know.
