20 of Chicago's Most Iconic Dishes

EVERYWHERE—Ever want a list of Iconic Chicago Dishes? From Italian beef to bacon-wrapped dates, Eater's comprehensive guide will show you where to go for those in the know.

LOGAN SQUARE—With no explanation given, Ciao Napoli Pizzeria has shuttered. The restaurant posted a note to its Facebook page announcing the closing and rumors have been swirling that its neighbor Telegraph may be looking to expand into the space.

LOOP—The Southern Mac & Cheese Store has closed so its owners can concentrate on their Bucktown restaurant, The Southern. The Southern Mac & Cheese Food Truck will continue to operate out of the Bucktown spot.

SOMEWHERE—Urban Union's Jason Chan and Arami's B.K. Park are teaming up for a new sushi and Japanese seafood spot. Both chefs recently left their respective restaurants and there's no word on where they hope to open their new spot, but they're loosely targeting a fall opening date.
