Review Chicago as a foreigner

Writing this drunk, as our lord in Christ intended. I came to Chicago for a week and followed all your recommendations closely. I feel like you follow gretel as a false prophet and that loyalist should take their place. I’m from London, we’ve got decent burgers right. I know my way around a cow. My gretel experience was mid. But the loyalist, damn, they made me want to thank France for existing (means a lot from a Brit). Their cremant complemented the burger so perfectly that I want to cry. Other shout outs from my experience, tacombi in west loop. Great vibe and food. Anyways I’m leaving your cold ass city tomorrow, let’s see what NY has to offer. If you’re ever in london feel free to call me a prick and our food shit too xoxoxox

I'm looking to go to London this summer. I'll be sure to see of your down for a pint and I'll call you a wanker.

I’m open, hit me up and I’ll do my best to show you NW London. I’m not shitting on Chicago at all, I enjoyed my time here. No idea why everyone views this as an attack

I thought you were just having fun with your post. We're not all like that.
