Chicago "en büyük şehir Amerikan Ortabatısının" ve "üçüncü büyük şehir" içinde ABD. 1830 yılında kurulan şehir "Bir su transit merkezi olarak kuruldu; şehir, geniş hinterlandının hammaddelerini işleyen ve taşıyan bir sanayi metropolüne dönüştü."

With almost 3 million people today, Chicago has 100 neighborhoods, 36 annual parades, 40 annual film festivals, 250 live music venues, 600 parks, 29 beaches, more than 7,300 restaurants, 7 AAA Diamond-rated restaurants, and even 144 dog-friendly eateries. It’s definitely a destination for foodies. This great city also has 26 Michelin-starred restaurants and 40 James Beard Award-winning restaurants as well.  

 

What’s Old is Now a Trendy Foodie Spot

In a city that was known as the meatpacking capital of the nation, things have certainly changed in Chicago. In 1971, the famed Union Stockyards were closed while “Fulton Market’s slaughterhouses have been replaced by food halls, swanky cocktail bars, and gastropubs, the city’s steakhouses remain bustling, mostly due to tourists, as well as businesspeople and conventioneers armed with buoyant expense accounts.”

Today the area that is known as the West Loop is a haven for foodies. “A former meat-packing district, the West Loop has become one of the most dynamic dining destinations in the city.” The area is now filled with some of the city’s most popular restaurants. Here, you’ll find Restaurant Row and Greektown. When you’re not eating your way through the area, you can check out art galleries, boutique hotels, and fun shops.

 

Tour Chicago for All of the Hype as well as the Food

Chicago'nun Derin Çanak Pizzası ile Yakından Tanışın

When you’re in Chicago, you have to try the deep-dish pizza. The city is known for it, brags about it, and the classic is just about everywhere you go. This Chicago-style pizza, cheesy and tomato-filled, was put on the map in the fall of 1943 when Pizzeria Uno opened.

Bu derin-çanak pizza vardı:

• Bol peynir ve kalın, tatlı bir hamur işi kabuğu
• "ile pişirirken yüksek fırın sıcaklıkları bol miktarda mısır unu ekmeği yalıtmaya yardımcı olmak için tavaya serpilir"
• Çok uzun pişirme süreleri

Tarih yazıldı ve pek çok kişinin ağzı sulandı. Turtalar sadece Chicago'da değil, zamanla tüm ülkede yayıldı. Bu yüzden, Chicago'ya gittiğinizde, deep-dish pizza mutlaka tadına bakmanız gereken bir yiyecek.

 

Oprah'ın Kökleri Bu Son Moda Mahallede

West Loop, ilk günlerinden itibaren bir zıtlık bölgesi olmuştur ve "paçavradan zenginliğe" hikayesini öğreneceksiniz. Hatta bu yolda Oprah Winfrey'in kendisi de yardımcı olmuştur. Mahallede yapacağınız bu gezintide daha fazlasını öğreneceksiniz!

What was once Oprah’s former Harpo Studios building is now the headquarters for Mcdonald’s.  A developer bought the studio in 2014 while production on Oprah’s Show ended in 2015. “Harpo was home to the Oprah Winfrey Show from 1990 until it went off the air in 2011, staking Chicago’s claim as a media center and giving new life to the area west of the Loop.”

 

Mısırlı Sığır Etli Sandviçin Kalbine İnmek

Then it’s time to take a stroll and stop at the next food establishment on this tasty tour. You’ll pop into a total neighborhood institution: a corned beef sandwich shop where the corned beef is prepared just around the corner—a true nod to this area´s meatpacking past!

Bu durakta, aslında yerinde üretilen konserve sığır etli sandviçin tamamını bulacaksınız. Bir fabrika olarak başlayan ve daha sonra bir vitrin eklenerek bu lezzetli sandviçi tatmak için mükemmel bir yer haline getirilmiştir.

 

 

Yunanistan'ın Tadı

Next on the list, you’ll continue to explore the West Loop hotspots and step into the popular food hall among the locals in Chicago. It was opened in 2019 and is truly a food lover’s paradise. It has provided up-and-coming chefs with the opportunity to try out their craft before they are able to open their own restaurants. The West Loop is the place to see and be seen, so it’s important for new chefs.

The West Loop is home to Greektown, which has the third-largest Greek population in the US. Here, you’ll try delicious Greek food from a local Greek restaurant and get a taste of the traditional culture.

 

Yeni Bir Lezzet Katan Eski Lezzetli Donutlar

Next up on the tour is a taste of the sweet stuff that this neighborhood has to offer. You’ll stop for donuts at a small-batch donut shop owned by two former Michelin-star pastry chefs who met while working in the pastry kitchen at a Michelin-star restaurant. The chefs found out they were from the same town in California and each enjoyed the same favorite donut shop there.

Chicago'da, akçaağaç pastırması gibi tatlar içeren küçük parti donutlar yapıyorlar. Hamur fermantasyon süreci nedeniyle onlar için en zor tarif olan eski moda türünü deneyeceksiniz.

Bu muhteşem yemek turunu James Beard Ödüllü yerel bir şefin el yapımı kekleriyle tamamlayacaksınız.

Chicago'nun tadı hiç bu kadar güzel olmamıştı. Mahalleye girip çıktıktan, tatlı ve tuzlu yemeklerin tadına baktıktan sonra biraz kestirmeye hazır olabilirsiniz. Ancak Chicago'nun sunduğu lezzetlerin hayalini kuracak ve tekrar gelmek isteyeceksiniz.
