9 Only in Chicago
Pizza-loving and hot dog-inhaling kids have it made in Chicago: We've turned
them from fast food into art forms. Of course, Chicagoans have their own take
on these all-American staples, so to have an authentic taste of Chicago, shun the

restaurants are

cheese option.
Edwardo's
is a local pizza chain that serves all three varieties, but
with a wheat crust and all-natural ingredients. (Try the tasty spinach pizza, the
specialty here.) It has several Chicago locations, including one in the Gold
Coast, at 1212 N. Dearborn St., at Division Street (
