You can get bacon here if you know where to look.
Fun fact: the most popular artificial meat flavor in certain Jewish american communities is bacon. Got to wonder how did it get its fame :D

I prefer the Italian Perchuto, yummy.

Hold on, kid, are you living in Chicago now? Like law school exchange... or something more permanent? I forget what ALFAns are around there but since Ithildur always talked about deep dish pizzas, you're at risk of running into him. Possibly jmecha too.

Post something big and bold that people will read such as KID IS IN CHICAGO GUYS. I am sure jmecha has multiple times mentioned Kuma's Corner, some burgers and beers joint that more than one ALFAn has sampled.

They probably put bacon on burgers if asked.

My brother-in-law's famous quote, spoken in front of my sister, is, "Bacon is better than sex." Pretty sure he slept on the couch that night dreaming of hickory-smoked goodness.

The bars on my window are made of Chicago style pizza; if you eat and like it, you (along with Maxcell) will be welcomed in. Heero unfortunately will have to stand outside until he learns how wrong he is.

Chicago dough-sagna is not pizza.

Stay on your side of the line.

But if we can't cross the line, how can we provide humanitarian relief to that side of the line?

The poor people on the other side of the line; they've been melting cheese on cardboard for want of pizza. Their children are so malnourished that they can't even talk right. They say "How ya doin'" instead of "How are you?" and nobody smiles about anything.
