We Visited Chicago and the Reality Surprised Us

Not grannet popcorn,lol

Happy birthday Sean! May your light continue to shine bright. Happy Mother’s Day Carmen

I’m going there in July

Lou Malnati's is actually pretty old school deep dish, but I understand it might not be for everyone. Try Pequod's next time. Instead of the buttery, pie-like crust of a regular deep dish, Pequod's has a more caramelized pan crust.

Hope y'all enjoyed your time in Chicago. Come back in the summer some time. That's when the city shines, and the architecture sunset tour is worth it.

Next time you are in Chicago, try Pequod's for pizza. I think it's way better than Lou Malnatti's. Also, Garrett's popcorn is definitely a Chicago must try. So you guys did a good job.

Happy birthday Sean🎊🎊

Watching from Kenya

Happy birthday Sean 🎉🎉🥳!!;. Happy Mother's Day Carmen!! Glad you guys got to enjoy my hometown!! Yes, my heart did sink when Sean mispronounced Garrett's!! 🤣😂

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEAN! I really love the way she made a list and you all just went down it and indulged in all her wishes. (My son always says, I don’t know what I wanna do. 🙄😂). And I adore your girls’ relationship. Ella being sad about Sean leaving her in single digits, and the gifts she gave her, made me smile with wet eyes lol. Great video. Thanks for sharing ♥️ (And Happy Mother’s Day to you Carmen!)

Happy Birthday Sean. That definitely was a dream birthday celebration. Thanks for sharing with us.😎

I’m from Chicago, I love y’all videos I didn’t even know about the Chinese restaurant. Also I like you bleep’d the lady’s name out. Hot flaming sushi is krazy😭. Great video!

happy birthday

GARRET'S is the BEST! Love their popcorn so much. Lou Malnati's is so yummy! I miss it so much.

You came to Chicago, my hometown!

to most people I know (i.e., locals) Willis Tower will always be the Sears Tower.

Put on your list for next time Sean:
Science & Industry Museum
Field Museum (tell Sue the T-Rex I sent you)
The planetarium
Do a cruise on our beautiful Lake Michigan and Navy Pier
Great Choice of Pan Pizza! Love Lou Malnati’s, other options are Gino’s and Uno or Due… both Uno/Due are owned by same org, my favorite pizza, though, is Georgio’s in Crystal Lake, IL
For hot dogs I love Portillo’s

Lots of cool restaurants near my office in Fulton Market, I LOVE Carnivale

Six Flags in Gurnee! Take the train from the city out to Libertyville and it’s a short ride in a cab or car rental.

The Botanical Gardens in Glencoe
Come for the air show in August!
But my favorite time of the year is probably June and October

Who are the screamer now

Happy birthday Sean! 💐 i am from Chicago and I hate lou malnatis. Giordanos all the way for me. For hot dogs, Devil Dawgs is a must try 🌭! I gota get to Haidilao though, it looks amazing. I also love how you & Serge let the girls wear nails, my parents never let me wear them! Haha

Happy Mother’s Day Carmen. Happy Birthday Sean. Now, this was such a great video. I’m smiling from ear to ear and most importantly taking notes. All the places and things she wanted to do seemed so fun. Love it. 😊

Happy 13th Birthday Sean! Good luck Serge and Carmen 🤣

Amazing
Noticed 🇰🇪 wrist band

Happy birthday Sean!!

You guys have to try Giordanno's deep dish, its the greatest....... Happy Birthday Sean

I live in Chicago and go to Uno, Due, Or Giordano’s for deep dish pizza.

Happy birthday Sean 😍🥳

I LOVE your videos!! Thanks again & Happy Birthday Sean :)

Next time you have to go to the Chicago pizza oven grinder or grab some beggars pizza. Also, Garrett’s is garbage now. You have to try Paparazzi popcorn.

Happy birthday Sean🌸🎂💝 looks like you all had an awesome trip. Loved the list you covered a lot of ground😁

Happy birthday to Sean!!!🎂🥳 What a fun trip!

happy birthday sean!

Sorry warming as soon as you left

I
We visited Chicago 2/19 loved it in the cold and all! A city we will revisit 🤗

“She’ll be 12 when it’s convenient” 😂 love it

This brought back so many good memories of my childhood + some great ideas about new places to check out with my kids when I visit home.

I love Giordano’s deep dish better. If you don’t want deep dish I like Beggars and Aurelio’s. If you ever step foot in Chicago again you would be doing yourself a disservice by not trying Batter & Berries in Lincoln park. It’s a 100 outta 10 all around. You will not be disappointed. It is amazing every single time! Happy birthday to Sean and check out the city next time when it’s summer ❤️

I absolutely love your videos! The editing, the music, and most importantly, Sean and Ella's humor. Would love to see more of Serge haha

I live in Chicago and have not even heard of those Asian cuisine restaurants. Best Pizza is in the Wicker Park neighborhood across street from Roby hotel. Shaws is good but Joe's Crab Shack is better !

This is the first time you go somewhere that I’ve been as a tourist (I live in Philly) and we did the tilt and a ton of other things when we where there

Happy belated birthday, Sean!!! This looks like such an amazing birthday experience... lots of memorable activities and dining with family, and your nails look so pretty!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Beautiful video! Happy belated birthday Sean! I smiled the whole time while watching your adventures through the city (now suburbs) I've lived in for 20 years now! You definitely showed me why I need to have some downtown staycations with my husband and son this summer, fall. We hibernate during our winters, LOL! Thanks for sharing!

Me being polish:POLISH SAUSAGES!!!!!

Happy Birthday Sean!!!! I feel like I was there!!! Lol so much fun and laughter!! Y’all don’t miss!! Great music selection too.

A magical mask?! 😀

The most iconic deep dish pizza places in Chicago are Uno's/Due's, Gino's & Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder's. Uno's is a traditional deep dish, Gino's has a cornmeal crust & Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder's is made in a bowl with the crust on the top. When it is served the bowl is inverted so that the top becomes the container for the pizza. (My personal favorite.)

Next time- Gino’s East Pizza and Luke’s Lobster

You can go to Washington

I just want to say this was so great & truly inspiring! I can't to travel with our children ☺💝Thank you for sharing ❤ 💕
