        The funny thing about Chicago deep dish is that mostly only tourists eat it. Locals are in love with what they call "tavern style" which is essentially tomato sauce and cheese on a saltine cracker. It's horrible.

      I hear people boast about the music scene more than popcorn tbh, but those are definitely the three big ones.

        I think it's fair to say a city usually has a better music scene than middle of nowhere, and the bigger the city the better the music scene. But yeah Chicago doesn't have a particularly good music scene to my knowledge outside of just having more people making music

          Totally agree, I don't think we have a particularly strong scene of any genre these days, but there's certainly a shit load of musicians around.

      Chicago has much cheaper housing than New York and California, so that's pretty cool.
