If Indiana had a Mount Rushmore of great restaurants, Teibel’s Family Restaurant in Schererville would be carved into that stone with a very large chisel. It’s been quietly serving some of the best steaks in the state from a stone-faced building on a busy road in Lake County, and the people who know about it tend to keep coming back with a loyalty that borders on devotion.

The Best Hot Dogs in Chicago, According to Someone Who Has Tried 'Em All

If you’re looking for the best hot dog in Chicago, you’ve come to the right place. While I can’t tell you how many hot dogs I’ve eaten in my life, I am sure that number is in the many thousands. After high school, I worked at Nick’s Nest, a hot dog stand in my Massachusetts hometown, where I would have one for lunch every day. They’re a favorite food to eat while traveling, and I regularly grab them in my daily life as well, because I live in Chicago, where the hot dog is a local staple.

This Unassuming Illinois Pizzeria Serves Sausage Pizza So Good It Should Almost Be Illegal

Anthony Bourdain called one pan pizza the only deep dish he ever loved. That pie still comes out of a small, homey pizzeria on a quiet suburban street in Illinois. The crust edge gets so dark and caramelized that it looks almost burnt. It isn’t. That crunchy, cheesy rim is the whole point, and the sausage on top is a house blend.
