Extending this to a new list of dishes that I want to try but never have (mapo tofu, a cubano, char kway teow, curried goat, pupusas etc).
I should probably say, that this is all aspirational, I add things to my lists but don't take anything off for obvious reasons.

This list has gotten very unwieldy especially as I've been looking up places all across the city that do food I've never had (hence my Sudani search earlier) and in dangerous news, I've found somewhere local that makes Francesinha

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

The entire cities of Amsterdam (red), Paris (blue), and Barcelona (purple) can fit inside Chicago.
All borders use the same geographic scale (1:175000). The European cities have been rotated and/or flipped, but not resized.
