"it was fun to recognize all my favorites among yours. except for the gyros, these are all my favorite foods, so i'll definitely keep your list as a handy reference. i had a laugh at some of your spots because i've never imagined going to jeri's or the golden angel." -ad

"You're right about the gyro place on Broadway closing; I haven't had a gyro in Chicago since it closed." - SS

"Two suggestions: 1) Polish sausages!2) Maxwell St. splinter chains (my favorite is the Maxwell St. Depot at 31st and Canal). Note that, like good Chicagoans, they will ask if you want "any pop?" Broken English and an insistence on calling it "pop" are crucial to the Chicago experience." - EH

"This website is incredible. Kudos for putting together so many of my favorite places -- I just sit at my desk and stare at these photos for hours. In any case, bravo on such a fantastic site. I've sent the damn thing on to all my family friends and coworkers. They send me back links to this site: http://www.americanheart.org" - JT

"Any chance on you checking out the suburbs fastfood?" - JB

"Man, I LOVE that website! The photos are great. Did you actually eat all that crap? If so, you are a "Greaseian" God. I work right in between Mr. Beef and Al's. There are debates at work over which beef is better. I'm with you though, Al's is the place. I also agree about the Bad Dog burger - very tasty, I'll have to try the Muskies, I've never been there. Seriously, did you actually eat an Italian Sub from White Hen Pantry?!!! YUK!" - PS

"I found your greasefreak website from a link from wikipedia. very cool." - JP

"Great site. I'll make sure to use it as reference when I visit Chicago in the future." - CD

"I love your site. I am a food vendor in South Mississippi. Your site has given me some really good ideas. Food really differs from one place to the other. I have never seen so much on one hotdog. Here we only put, ketchup, mustard, onion, and maybe pickle relish. But tomato, and pickle, and is that a pepper of some sort that I see? The turkey subs are in our area here. We do not have the gyros at all. Thanks again for your site, I enjoy seeing the updates." - KK

"You made my mom, who is a native Chicagoan, and who now lives in Tennessee, cry when she found your website. She came into my room laughing with tears in her eyes and told me of your website. Dude, you gave her a serious case of nostalgia. I think I should be mad at you, but it's just too funny." - RJ

"Brother I gotta hand it to youze, this site is AMAZING!!! I live and work in japan so i should'nt have to tell youze how bad i miss Maxxin out on some good ol' Chicago style foods...Best Regards" - EG

"Ramova .. dead on for chili. Top Notch ... way off. I grew up in Beverly, and sampled my fair share of burgers all over town. They still top my list. I will admit I have not had Boston Blackies. Superdawg ... dead on. I grow sick and tired of seeing this place featured on the Food Channel. Not that good." - RL

"The site is awesome! It's only 7:00 a.m. but I am already itching for a gyro." - DP

"I share my wife’s recommendation on the S&G chili, but in general I just wanted to say how happy I was to find your site. It’s comforting to know that there are other people out there who share my love of grease." - JS

"Lots of fun and nostalgia... I've been transplanted from Chicago to Minneapolis, and at 7:45 in the AM, you've got me dying for a dipped Italian combo with the works. (Unavailable in these parts...)" - ZL

"What a great site!!!!! Congrats!!!! Now I'm hungry!" - JK

"I just wanted to say thank you for putting the wonderful food on your site. I grew up in Chicago but have been living in California for the past couple of years, and just stumbled along your page today. It’s great. The pictures are making me so hungry. I miss the food so much! That’s all, keep up the great work!" - SM

"Great site!!!!!" - TT

"Sad to see Jansons has sunk to a low on the 'sout side. Snyders that was "attached" used to have great dogs, (Oscar Mayer), but I guess things have gone downhill since I was a kid some 45 years ago." - FN

"Great web site by the way. So much food, so little time." - BB

"You should try Tony’s Beef on 71st and Pulaski on the Southside; best beef in the city by far and I’ve eaten at most of the places you’ve referenced." - SD

"Just wanted to take the time to commend you on a great website. It's like Chicago's equivelent to Holly's Philadelphia-centric Hollyeats.com. Just a great concept all around. Hope you'll continue to expand on it, there's still plenty of Chicago staples to reveal to the rest of the world!" - JF

"I moved away in 1987 but I keep coming home for Chicago soul food." - SM

"Portillos better tasting than Mr. Beef? I've eaten both...lots...and Mr.Beef wins. Sorry. But yer pics are nice, and I like the site. Bookmarked it, sent itto all my grease-loving buddies, and a couple of vegetarians. Keep up the good work...and go back to Mr. Beef." - MJ
