Just in time, the New York Times has an article on Chicago Food. On sunday, I invited over a gang of folks, many ex-Chicagoans, for some gourmand Chicago food. The pizza and hot beef sandwiches were birthday gifts, ordered from the Gourmet Food section of Amazon, whereas the Vienna Beef hot dogs and polish dogs came from Moishe's Chicago deli in our neighborhood. We had to forgo the sport peppers, the nuclear green relish and poppy seed buns, but otherwise a good time was had by all.

As for the Time's journalist who doesn't like Chicago pizza... well, what do you expect from a New Yorker?
