Chicago Diner

I recently took an impromptu road trip to Chicago with my friend Becky to go see Hanson, and while I was out there my not-so-secret agenda revolved around sandwiches. You see, two of my favorite sandwiches of all time are made in Chicago: Chicago Diner's Radical Reuben and Handlebar's Buffalo 'Chicken' Wrap. Luckily, Becky was awesome enough to make the trip to eat both sandwiches.

We started out with the Chicago Diner- always a crowd pleaser. I got the same thing I always get: Radical Reuben with mac and cheeze as my side. I always consider branching out, but the reuben calls me back every time. I just can't say no to sauerkraut. This behemoth of a sandwich can technically be eaten like a sandwich, but go ahead and save yourself the trouble and just eat it with a knife and fork. Tons of kraut and seitan, along with creamy mac on the side satisfies me each time I order it. To round out the meal, I ordered a s'more milkshake to go. I didn't take a picture of it, but trust me, it was perfection. I even got a marshmallow stuck in my straw, and isn't that what everyone wants out of a s'more shake?

I will talk about Handlebar later, and just let the you soak in the glory of the Radical Reuben for now.
