What's good #GustoNation! Remember to always support your LOCAL RESTAURANTS, especially during these tough times! 🍽 Also don't forget to FINESSE that Like button & Comment your favorite food in the film!

As a local for 37 years, I have to say, Luis you really nailed some quality cheap eats in the loop. There are plenty more but you are not steering your views wrong. don't forget 65 Chinese. $10 can feed 2 people easily. Sidenote: for all you seeing the places Luis hit were empty, don't be fooled. Pre-Covid they were always packed!

pittsfield cafe!!!! i brought my parents there when they visited and it was so good. i love how it looks like an outdoor patio but it's setup in an atrium. It felt like a movie set.

Worked downtown for years, Never heard of that coffee shop or Pittsfield. Fontono’s Fa sho I knew of, they have great sandwiches. Luke’s Yessu💪🏾, and Reggie’s pizza behind the CBEO building use to go there for lunch at least twice a week. And chicken planter is a few feet away from Reggie’s on Van Buren. And Billy Goats is right there as well….

@leif7539 2 года назад

Cafecito also has phenomenal sandwiches under $10. The Cubano is the best Cuban sandwich in Chicago. The Jamon, Jerk, and Choripan also favorites of mine.

Just a suggestion, last time we visited we took a Segway tour and it was amazing! The tour we took was along the lake front and through the Museum Campus, which gave us great views of the skyline, and had really great guide. We never were on a Segway AND we were 65 when we did this, that's how easy it was. We got really wonderful pictures since they stop and let you enjoy the scenery and the guide took pictures of us a group and a couple.

Unfortunately I left Chicago in '94. Sold our loft for twice what we paid for it in just 2 years. 525 S. HALSTED. There were always great local cheap eats back then. But since I have been watching you guys there are 10 times as many great places to eat. I wish I never left.

@chrisseidl8294 Год назад

Worked in the Loop from 1994-2015. Pittsfield Cafe is one of my favorites- also a great place for lunch. Lukes is a mini-chain which does have great hot dogs and a very good Italian Beef. Also, I moved to Southern Wisconsin, but there is a Luke's a few miles away from me here, so my taste of Chicago is accessible if I need it.

Not a “cheap eat” but definitely a “cheap drink”: Ceres Cafe in the Board of Trade. $10-ish gets you a highball glass full of your liquor of choice plus a can of your desired mixer. Thrifty and dangerous lol.
