Week #14: Illinois, USA

Since we're road trippin' it, it'll be too hard to cook, so we've decided to focus on Illinois, our home state for the coming week!

The only official state foods I can find for Illinois are popcorn and Gold Rush apples. That's not terribly interesting, nor easy to convert into dinners, so we'll take our inspiration from our first destination. This week will be all about meals that Chicago's made famous.

Red hots with the works, deep dish pizza...boy, tough assignment, right?! We'll seek out these icons and more, so stay tuned for lots of mouth-watering deliciousness from the Windy City!
