Chicago City Trivia

In Grant's later years he moved to Galena, Illinois... which is still pretty far from Chicago though.

Wrong! No one in Chicago cares if you put ketchup on your hot dogs! No one here actually makes "Chicago style hot dogs".

Guam is wrong. While it might not be everyone, the traditional Chicago dog does not require ketchup due to the presence of tomatoes. Not everyone orders Chicago style, but it still is tradition. Don't listen to him

I don't think so. It's got specific ingredients (which would make for an interesting question on this quiz): celery salt, peppers, mustard, relish, diced white onions, and a pickle spear. If you lose more than one or two of those, it's not a Chicago-style dog. If you eat a hot dog with no ketchup and nothing else, it's not a Chicago-style dog. It's just a plain hot dog.

That would make a good quiz.

Chicago is a big city. To consider its homicide rate as though it applies throughout the city is foolish. The homicide rates in Austin, Englewood, and Lawndale, for example, are terrible, but neighborhoods like Lincoln Park, Pilsen, and Wicker Park are as safe as any neighborhood you'll find in most big cities. The majority of the city is perfectly safe. It's just that there are a few small pockets beset by terrible and relentless violence. But the parts that aren't violent are fantastic. I've lived in and visited many big cities before I settled here, and I never plan to leave.

Yeah lol like I could also say

Homicide rate in Honduras: 44.7 per 100,000

Not really. There are many "diehard" hot dog fans who will criticize you. But plenty of local people use ketchup too.

when people get all snooty about the proper way to eat your food or drink your beer or stir your tea or whatever I can't stand that. I understand regional traditions can be fun sometimes but are you actually going to get upset by what I want to put in my mouth or how I go about getting it there? then get a life.

Yeah I just googled "Chicago rappers" and the only ones I recognized other than Kanye were Twista, Common, and Juice Wrld, and I think I can safely say that none of them are more famous than Kanye.

no, i dont think i will

I typed in "deep crust" and "thick crust," but those didn't work. The style is called deep-dish, while the feature is that the crust is thick. I just think feature is a poor word choice here. We don't say "Chicago pizza's distinct aspect is that it has deep-dish," but rather that it has thick crust or something like that.

could just say style of Chicago pizza

Yeah, that would make sense
