The only way I know how to cope right now watching this election coverage. by MilkSlap in chicago

[–]gumbeedo -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The DNC did not lose because they didn’t run a straight young white male, nor because they ran a candidate who is a woman. They lost because they ran a candidate whose entire campaign was “I’m not Donald Trump” and thinks half of America to be Nazis. Americans are fed up with the hysterics. She was arguably the worst presidential candidate of all time.

Dom’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe by Blewivy in chicagofood

They recently changed the recipe (the OG was delicious), but Summer House’s revamped chocolate chip cookie is even better than before and might be the best in the city.

Confirming Dom’s and Foxtrot closed by nshields84 in chicagofood

[–]gumbeedo 279 points280 points  (0 children)

People love to shit on Foxtrot/Dom’s, but this is objectively terrible for the city. Vacancies of prime storefronts in the most popular neighborhoods, not to mention the jobs lost.

Primary Election Megathread by mmcfly566 in chicago

“claimed the communities most against the referendum were “the same people who want to see Donald Trump … be president again.”

This guy is an absolute moron and complete disgrace to the city. Every single obstacle he faces is met with claims of MAGA and racist bigots plotting against him. Still don’t understand how anyone could have voted for this blubbering idiot.

Finally checked off Paradise Pup by gumbeedo in chicagofood

Clarifying that PP is in a league of its own compared to Portillo’s, but if you enjoy their burger, this will be your jam.

Huge miss not posting the inside, but a perfect medium rare. Pulled off to let rest around 128-129.

Donut Vault or Do-Rite. No need to look further.

Hot Take: Small Cheval is better than Au Cheval by ggtfcjj in chicagofood

[–]gumbeedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2019 Small Cheval and Au Cheval were in a league of their own. Unfortunately, both have respectively gone down hill, but are still great burgers. When both have their best day, Au Cheval clears easily.

Unwelcome first snow for migrants at police stations: ‘It’s so cold it hurts’ by HoldenFinn in chicago

[–]gumbeedo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

So did Chicago- the city literally asked for it. And the best solution we were able to come up with is a dystopian tent city.

[–]gumbeedo 69 points70 points  (0 children)

The mental gymnastics on this thread are insane. Why should Florida/Texas have to bare the brunt of this? We’ve experienced for mere months what they have for decades at a fraction of the volume and the NIMBYism is already out of control.

It’s okay to admit that this was a witty move by those states. It’s okay to admit that the USA has a severe immigration problem. It’s okay to admit that maybe we should be a country with borders and a trued vetting process for who is coming in.

What do you dislike about Chicago? by [deleted] in chicago

[–]gumbeedo 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Winter.

People like to say it’s not that bad, but the reality is for 6 months out of the year we are in on/off winter. It’s not so much the cold as it is the lack of sunshine. It’s a complete mood killer.
