For a variety of reasons, over the years, many of Chicago’s Italian-American population moved out of the city and to the burbs. Because of this, some of Chicago’s best Italian food isn’t in the city, but out in the sprawling landmass known as “Chicagoland”. In our last video, we explored the city’s best subs, but today is all about the suburbs. Y’all asked for it. Let’s ride!
