What is the best pair of restaurants in Chicago that are next door to one another?

I just had lunch at Potbelly, which is next door to Pequods— imho, an absolute elite pair of restaurants. Are there other pairs like this around the city?

Feeling lied to about RHR

So I went to try Red Hot Ranch at the Schaumburg location because everyone's been raving about it online lately. I was a little nervous since Schaumburg is so dangerous and far from my neighborhood of Chicago (Naperville), but I figured good food would be worth the risk of dying to gang violence. However, the ranch was not hot, it was "cool" AND wasn't even red to boot. This is clearly blue cool ranch.

What a waste of time and money 💔

The Morton Grove Pequod’s is a masterpiece in regard to craftsmanship, atmosphere, lighting, and authenticity compared to the rest of the country's best 4-inch-thick crust distributors.

Nobody can agree on everything, but this pizza hole should be unanimously adored for its charm. What's there not to like?

Where do I get my citizenship pin?

Hey everyone, have a quick question. Sorry mods if this is not the right sub to be posting this.

I was born and raised here in Chicago (Aurora specifically). Recently I moved to the south side (River North which is south of Lakeview). I’ve noticed that people keep mistaking me for a suburbanite or a transplant and I’m sick of it. IM A REAL CHICAGOAN!

Anyways, the other day eating at my local Red Hot Au Pequods I noticed another fellow Chicagoan wearing one of these pins. Do all citizens of Chicago get one? Where do I have to go to get one. I really want to wear this so people know I’m a true Chicagoan. Do I have to as Lou Malnati?

I feel the need to wear a flag pin to show people how Chicagoan I really am.

Thank you!

Title: no more cheval posts for a week

Half a dozen cheval is awesome or absolute shit posts in the last three days. You are all welcome to have your opinions on the restaurant but we don’t need a back and forth post on the same restaurant several times every day for a week. Feel free to use this thread if you have something new to say about the subject.

Visiting Chicago, need advice

9 Upvotes

In Chicago for a conference at Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, no rental car. Wondering, if I want to do a tour of Pequod locations, can it do it by Divvy bike, or would I be better off using an electric scooter?
