I’m stunned, surprised, and shaken. How are there only two joints on Yelp’s Top 100 US Restaurants for 2024 located in Illinois?
I always thought Illinois was the food capital of the country. I know, I was born and raised in Illinois, so maybe I’m a bit biased but tell me, honestly, dear reader, which state has better food? New York? California? C’mon now, we all know Illinois has the best grub.

Whether it be burgers, hot dogs, pizza, or Italian beef, we just do it better than the rest.
I guess I need someone to explain how only two restaurants in the entire state are in the top 100, and not even one is located in Chicago.
