Why is Chicago famous for great food ?

Question

I moved to Chicago 8 months ago and have been to several

restaurants here. I use sites that let consumers rate restaurants as well as just chance it sometimes.

I went to the so called top 3 pizza places in Chicago and got raw deep dish pizza , All the Chinese places here serve food out of Sam's club cans.

It seems the food in California was 10 times better from local eateries and malls as well as high end.

Wheres the good stuff in Chicago ?

I'm disappointed

Answer 1

It's there........you gotta look.

Though the Chinese food isn't as good, not enough fresh asian groceries.

Answer 2

Chicago's famous for steaks, Italian Beef sandwiches and Hot Dogs too. (besides pizza)   California is much more eclectic

You'll never find Chinese food there as good as California
