EMAIL LUKE 		Hello and welcome to my page!!

My name is Luke and I'm a proud resident of the GREATEST CITY IN AMERICA - Chicago, Illinois. I've been eating my way through this city and I have a LOT of opinions.

I started this webpage in 1996 because I realized the INTERNET needed someone to tell the TRUTH about Chicago restaurants. Too many people eating at tourist traps!! Too many people putting KETCHUP on hot dogs!! Someone had to take a STAND.

My qualifications:
  • Born and raised in the Chicago area
  • Eaten at over 300 restaurants in the city
  • Strong opinions about deep dish vs. tavern style
  • Have waited 3+ hours for Au Cheval (multiple times)
  • Can recite the Portillo's menu from memory
  • Survived Thai Hot at Crying Tiger

~*~ FUN FACTS ABOUT LUKE ~*~

  • Favorite food: Au Cheval burger (with egg and bacon)
  • Guilty pleasure: Portillo's chocolate cake shake
  • Least favorite food: Ketchup on hot dogs (DISGUSTING)
  • Favorite neighborhood for food: West Loop (obviously)
  • Deep dish allegiance: Lou Malnati's (don't @ me)
  • Spice tolerance: Can handle Medium at Crying Tiger
  • Hobbies: Eating, reviewing restaurants, arguing about pizza
  • Pet peeve: People who say Chicago pizza "isn't real pizza"
  • Favorite Chicago movie: Ferris Bueller's Day Off
  • Sports teams: 🐻⬇️
