I had Chicago Deep Dish pizza at Gino's East and Giordanos.

I prefer the crust at Gino's East because of it's crunch and slightly sweet but yeasty flavour, but the Giordanos toppings were a bit more flavorful and had more cheese. Overall, I think Gino's wins by quite a bit because crust is critical.

I also had a Chicago dog and Italian Beef. The Chicago dog is a bit overwhelming with all the pickles, but I love pickles so I liked it enough. The Italian Beef was great. I had it with sweet peppers, and I always love the combination of peppers and beef. It was a bit oily, but it is street food so that is a given.

I also had Pineapple Chicken and Shrimp Fried Rice. It was excellent. It had good balance, and the rice was perfectly fried which is key in any fried rice dish.
