Get a deep dish from Giordano's...There's a few in the city and the personal size is all you need for one dank ass meal!

Try a place called Sticky Rice for Asian.
Get a proper Chicago Dog, with everything on it (drug troo the garden, if you will.) Eat a proper Italian beef, too. Eat dinner at one of the awesome West Loop restaurants mentioned here (Publican, Girl and the Goat, Avec, etc) Basically, eat the entire time you are here. If you have time for the architecture stuff, all the better.
Proper Dog = Wiener Circle or Superdawg (preference to the latter)
Proper Beef = Al's
Proper Pizza = Lou Malnati's or Geno's East

Ok- one more question, then I'll let this thread die (my trip is still 3 months away):
If you had a couple hours to just wander around the coolest Chicago neighborhoods, where would you go? I know next to nothing about the city, and I don't want to miss the "cool" sections. For example, is the Loop worth seeing? Or is that just boring office towers, etc?

No, sorry.
Beef = Johnnies
Pizza = Pequods, but Lou's is also awesome. Fuck Genos.
Your dog picks are solid, and kudos for the Calumet Fisheries rec. One of the greatest treasures in the city.
