Also, skip the Sears Tower (Big Willie?). Head to the Signature Room on the 95th floor of the John Hancock building. Food is pricey, but you can grab yourself a cocktail and seat at the bar to enjoy the view! No charge to go up, and usually no line to wait in either.

The reason- cheese draped over the crust, resulting in carmelized crust. MMMMMMMMM

You want the Lincoln Park location.
"Let the Ocean dissolve away my past."
For a traditional Chicago Dog I'd say 2 different places. Portillos is pretty much the flagship "franchise" one and they are always good IMO. The other one that I really like as an "experience" is Weiner's Circle on Clark near Diversey. If you search "Weiner's Circle, Conan O'Brien" you'll see a hilarious video of Ken the Page from 30 Rock and Triumph The Insult Comic Dog visiting there. That will give you an idea of what the place is like. It's one of those places where you are SUPPOSED to piss off the staff and trade insults with them! Go there after the show if you can during bar time and you'll get quite the experience.
The other place I'd highly recommend is Kuma's Corner and Kuma's Too. Kumas is basically a metal bar that makes about 10-12 different rotating kinds of gourmet quality burgers that are named after metal bands. It's seriously rated 37 out of 40 by Zaggat for the food and the best part of it to me is the waitstaff is all tattooed and Mastadon is blaring in the background but there's every walk of life inside from bikers to businessmen because of the food.
So there's your food tour of Chicago!

Feelin' quite superior, the aged come
To the sky above he just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view and he sinks a pizza knife deep
Can't touch the bottom
In too deep dish.
That Kumas Corner place look pretty cool, if you have time to kill.

And no love for the superdawg?
Pequod's is a close 2nd, but probably tough for a lot of the out of towners to get to since it isn't close to the train.
the art museum is one of the best in the world
the shed aquarium
all the dtown museums
michigan mile
i personally like evanston and going to the record stores, and having a dog at championship weiner!!

What about boat tours? Would you peeps recommend the river/lake tour where they take you out on the lake at night? Or is just the river during the day enough?
Yeah, Hancock is cool. And like someone else said, go up to the 95th floor there and have an extremely overpriced drink....incredible view of the city from up there.
The boat tours are great no matter what time you do it. Enjoy Chicago!
Go with Lou Malnatis and it will be one of the greatest decisions you've ever made.
Not a fan of deep dish but what I've seen of Lou Malnatis and Pequods might change my mind.
Smoque if you're into barbeque.
Big Star Tacos (mexican inspired) and Cemitas Pueblo (mexican authentic)
But my favorite by far is Kuma's.

Hell yes, Pequod's is out of this world!

Im gonna go saturday after it cools off a bit. Friday 100 degrees and deep dish dont mix
2) Lou's
3) Gino's
4) Giordanos
The first two are far better than the last two.
