This week, we’re back in one of our favorite food cities—Chicago! 🍴 Otis and Nash join in (hot cocoa in hand) to share laughs, messy bites, and family memories from the Windy City. We dig into the real difference between a Chicago-style hot dog and every other dog on the planet, plus how to properly order an Italian beef sandwich (there’s a trick). Whether you’re all about mustard and sport peppers or just here for the drippy meat napkin vibes, we’ve got you.

You’ll hear:
 🌭 What it means when a hot dog is “dragged through the garden”
 🥖 Why “dipped” matters when ordering Italian beef
 😂 Nash’s sushi food review… 
 🧼 Otis pranks Dad
