So while I was in Chicago, I was able to eat at some amazing food places. Pictures do a much better job of describing than words, so without further ado, the goods...
Hot Doug's
3324 North California Avenue
Chicago, IL 60618-5848

This place was featured on Food Network, and Stuey claimed the place was amazing even though he had never been there before. I figured, "When in Rome..." and we ended up driving 30 minutes to get there. almost 45 minutes later waiting in a line in some pretty muggy weather, I ended up ordering the Chipotle and Cilantro Smoked Chicken Sausage. I was contemplating the Foie Gras Hotdog, but chickened out. Overall, even despite the distance, long wait, and expensive price, the uniqueness and quality of the dogs more than made up for it all. Probably not a place I would eat at regularly, but definitely good for multiple visits.

I walked into this store with my sister after she raved about how amazing the cupcakes were. When I entered, I immediately loved how the store was set up. The music playing was very playful and upbeat, and there was a great mix of young and old people, all enjoying the desserts. On the far left counter was the coolest idea for seating; they set up 4-5 swings (although limited by chains so people don't fall) for people to dangle from... How awesome is that!?
I wish I took pictures of the cupcakes, because the ones they post on their website don't give it justice. Imagine the moistest cupcake injected with frosting, and light frothy frosting on top with your choice of flavored goodness. They had styles ranging from apple pie cupcake to mint chocolate cupcakes and everything in between. Definitely a legit place recommended by my sis.
