I have lived up here for over 20 years, you know.
Have I tried them all? No. But Gino's is the most memorable and best of the ones I have tried, and that's a fairly widely held opinion.

That statement is alien to my experience with food. I could never say "yeah, that Kansas City barbecue that everyone raves about is just regular old barbecue to me, so excuse my lack of boner for it." I could NEVER say that. My woody for it is everlasting; the barbecue around here is an intrinsic part of my being.
If Chicago's great stuffed/deep dish places don't give you a woody then you've become jaded.
