I am looking forward to perusing this thread for ideas! I'll post our experiences here when we return (not going until late July).
No! NO!! NO!!!

With all due respect, one does not travel from Memphis to Chicago for great BBQ. That is like traveling from New York to Memphis for a great bagel.

One comes to Chicago to try:
  • Chicago-style Pizza
  • Vienna Hot Dogs
  • Italian Beef
  • Mexican Food (both cheap and expensive)
  • I'm sure I'm missing something...
