NBC5 in Chicago has posted a day-by-day plan for eating out cheaply in Chicago.  Monday means Italian beef, Tuesday it's Chicago hot dogs, Wednesday calls for burgers...  Other days cover pizza, fish fry, prime rib and barbecued ribs, and fried chicken.  Specific restaurant suggestions are offered for each food category/day.  Many (but by no means all) of the suggestions are listed here at Roadfood.com.  It's worth checking out if you're planning a trip to Chicago.

Pictured above is a double Chicago dog with extra sport peppers from the Vienna Beef factory store (one of the places noted in the NBC5 article).  Check out our Roadfood.com review.
