Chris & Rob's Chicago Taste

please stop saying you have anything to do with Chicago. OK I'm from Chicago and this placedoes not have anything like a real chicago beef or anything else. All I can say for this place is they should go to Chicago and try the food before opening a place in Minnesota. Sad day for me I thought I was getting a taste of home and it was more like Arby's.…

Citysearch Editorial Review. If your knowledge of Chicago is limited to 'The Blues Brothers' and Mike Ditka jokes, this joint is ready to give you a hardcore culinary primer on the Windy City.
