Chicago may be known for its Italian beef and deep dish pizza, but when it comes to international food options, it appears the city doesn't miss a mark.
For many who have made Chicago home after living elsewhere in the world, they don't have to travel far to get a taste of their homeland.
On Sunday, a Reddit user asked Chicagoans not born in the U.S. to share which restaurant best serves up cuisine from their native country. The responses have been pouring in, with users listing all kinds of options, from German food to Georgian cuisine, Venezuelan cooking and much, much more.
Here's a quite extensive list featuring many of the establishments listed on the Reddit thread:
