Chicago: Booze, Hot Dogs, and Billy Goats

Though little known on the North Side of Chicago, the sweet steak has been attracting long lines of fans to South Side eateries for 50 years now. The sandwich starts with a steamed bun, piled high with grilled onions, chopped ribeye steak, American cheese, sweet pepper relish, sliced tomatoes and hot peppers — all doused in a signature reddish sweet sauce. Curious City’s Monica Eng digs into the origins of the sandwich and what’s in store for the future. Hint: it has to do with walnuts.

Why The Sweet Steak Is The “Most Chicago” Sandwich

We&#39;re in Chicago, Illinois with Bethany Bayless of The Money Millhouse Podcast. Bethany lived in Chicago for school, so she knows all the fun spots. We debate who has the best deep dish pizza, trade stories of Cubs&#39; games, and talk about The Bean.

Chicago, IL | Pizza, baseball and The Bean with Bethany

Let&#39;s do the Lakefront, catch a Cubs game, and fatten up on beef sandwiches.  This week, it&#39;s Chicago!  It may not be the definitive guide to Chicago, but it&#39;s what I like to do when I am there.  It&#39;s travel for regular people.

1. Things to do in Chicago

From jazz, gangsters, and bootlegging to the birth of house music, Chicago is that most American of cities—maintaining an uneasy but thrilling equilibrium between the visible and the underground.

Only in Chicago

In this week&#39;s SYSK Select episode, Josh and Chuck find who&#39;s probably to blame for the Great Chicago Fire. The newspapers of the day reported that a cow (or perhaps its owner) was responsible for a fire that burned half of Chicago in 1871. Yet in 1997 Mrs. O&#39;Leary and her cow were exonerated.
