Things A Visitor To Chicago Should Never Say/Think/Do
So let’s say you’re not from Chicago and are going to be visiting…
While for the most part it’s an easy-going city, there are some things which will cause a local to cringe:
- You do not order pineapple on a pizza here
- We don’t order French dressing to dip our pizza crusts in (wtf is that all about? Is it a central/southern Illinois thing?)
- You don’t have to horde that 100 pounds of Frango Mints (you can order them online)
- Your family walking arm-in-arm/side-by-side (5 across!) along the sidewalks just isn’t going to work here (especially around 8:00am and 5:00pm)
- Going the wrong way down a one way isn’t such a great idea
- Please, no ketchup and mustard on an Italian Beef
(i’ve overheard/witnessed all of the above in the past four days)
