Seattle and San Diego are very pleasant places to live but San Francisco is culturally more like New York lite with nicer people.

Same could be said for Chicago. NYC is the absolute the king in the US.

If we move to Santa Barbara, I will definitely miss the eats here. I actually think Chicago's culinary scene might be underrated. But I do laugh at the comparisons with NYC, because they really aren't in the same league.

At this point in my life, I am not sure I need a big city to stoke my engine. Work, probably more than anything, keeps us here.

Chicago's food scene is a beast. It's become a big food destination. Everything from pizza and hotdogs to haute cuisine.

This implies that hot dogs and pizza aren't haute cuisine.

[Michael]

I stand corrected.

I'll give it that.

And because of that I know I can't live there. I'd be morbidly obese.

Haha, yep. That can be seen as both a positive and a negative. As much as I love the food, I have to eat it sparingly or I'd be in the same boat.

All I know is when I leave, I'm buying a couple tubs of Giardiniera to take with me. I can't get enough of those peppers and I put them on everything. That and a few of Lou M's frozen deep dish pizzas.

Is this "Chicago" near the "Chicawgo" that John Rooney is always mentioning?
