'The Bear' food tour:
Hulu's hit show "The Bear" has been a love letter to Chicago in the way it shows off the city's food-life from top notch restaurants to mom-and-pop community staples.
So, we thought, "why don't we give some of those restaurants a visit?"
We traveled around town from Pequod's Pizza to the Michelin-starred fine-dining experience at Ever to Roeser's Bakery over on North Avenue.
And a huge thank you to Roeser's Bakery for surprising our studio audience on Friday with delicious donuts! Make sure to stop by the Bakery at 3216 West North Avenue and visit their website.
Val and Ryan also sit down with the local influencer behind the handle "yuckingitup" on Instagram. He has made it his mission to visit all the restaurants featured on "The Bear."
Next time you are looking for something good to eat in the city, watching an episode of "The Bear" may give you the inspiration you needed.
