Tastes of Chicago: The Perfect Party Food
As a displaced Chicagoan I take my hot dogs very seriously. They have to be Vienna Beef with neon green relish. Sport peppers, celery salt, and poppy seed buns, need to be involved too. I’ve had zero luck replicating this experience in Los Angeles.
Don’t even talk to me about Pinks – it’s a lovely place – but I’m always the yahoo holding up the line while acting out what a sport pepper is. I’ve given up. Now I order take-out from Chicago — yes — the City of.
I get my fix from Lou Manati’s Tastes of Chicago, a nation wide delivery service wittily named for the city’s renowned food festival. Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria is famous for deep-dish and they’ve partnered with legends like Portillo’s Hot Dogs, Carson’s Ribs, and Eli’s Cheesecake to deliver Chicago delicacies anywhere — overnight. Think about that. You could be eating authentic Chicago deep-dish tomorrow.
I’ve ordered from Lou’s for birthdays, holidays, Valentine’s Day, and recently had them cater my Presidential Debate party. (We gorged ourselves on the food pictured above while throwing back Biden Beer Bombs.)
Tastes of Chicago is an amazing party resource. They employ the most helpful service people to ever work an 800 number, have packages to feed 2 or 20, and their food will flip your guests out — especially the Chicagoans.
Lou Malnati’s packages ship quickly with the contents safely nestled in dry ice to keep them cold, and printed on the outside of their red white and blue boxes is the sentiment “Someone must love you.”
Lou — right back at you.
