Chicago has many choices: Lou's, Gino's East, and Giordano's. When I lay over at ORD, I go for the Gino's close by. Lou's is fine, but Giordano's is great.

I have never had it shipped as I live nearby, however, sometimes when I visit my sister, who lives about 70 miles away, I'll pick up a partially baked pizza and finish baking it at her house. I'll take along two or three frozen pizzas for them to enjoy until I can provide them with their next fix. They claim they are great. I think it would be safe to assume, however, that they are not as good as getting one piping hot in Chicago.

BTW, Giordano's, while good if you like that sort of thing, is NOT traditional Chicago deep dish pizza. It is stuffed pizza.

i agree. IMHO Giordano has no flavor. Its just cheese...bland....Lou Malnati's, OTOH, OMG the best thing Ive ever put in my mouth, IMHO better than Uno and Due.

I think I'll order one tonight....should get here on Tues

Chocolates from Bernachon on the Cours Franklin Roosevelt in Lyon.

My favorites are the palets d'or; the ganache is luschious without being terribly sweet.

After deplaning? The first satay should be in the air.

A fresh glass of water always does the trick.

I usually fill up my stomach with something in the morning before drinking soda. Usually filling an empty stomach early in the morning with something gassy can easlily bring diahorea to me.

I recalled getting a chocolate from that town, only to melt on the way back to the hotel. Stupid me for not taking good care of it.

Wow, many out there actually go for Pizza for their breakfast.

I'd never really consider Pizza as a breakfast meal to be honest.

I guess Chicago Pizza enjoys many popularity as a New Yorker Pizza.

for me, few things taste as good as a mini-toblerone, at any time of day. even regular-sized toblerones don't taste as good, but i have no idea why.

I'm also partial to sugar cookies with sprinkles on them (the kind that look like tiny balls, not those janky chocolate jimmies) when they are still a little warm from the oven.

and of course nothing will ever taste as good as my mother's delicious indian cooking.
