Chicken fried steak and fried okra are still on the menu, but only if you leave those "weird" cities.

We have a number of recent factors.
Employee costs and Food Costs have skyrocketed.
The $ on the menu is being held down (only a bit).
And MANY places admit they are substituting lower quality food to keep the doors open.
We've all but stopped eating out. It aint worth it.
First, paying $70 for a Below Average Steak is non-sense!
Second, we really fell out of the habit of going out to eat, whereas it used to be a staple for us!

Can you list the places you visited? Perhaps I know of them. If you want the best Chicago Hot Dog I know where to send you but you would have to go back ~50y in time as well. Did you visit Chicago's Best | WGN-TV[^] prior to visit?

Chicago isn't the best. It tries to be itself (Chicago style Pizza ugh just gross). and tries to be mid-west and tries to emulate New York because it is the second city afterall. It just fails at everything.
Midwest food can be amazing! Burgers, STEAKS(real steaks) Potatoes etc...
New York food can be amazing! It is New York after all.
Southern food is amazing (no can be about it)
North Eastern Food can be amazing (Lobster, Chooowwwdar, Yankee Pot Roast etc..)
You just happen to visit the one city that does not have good food. IMO.
IF you happen to visit small town anywhere. Just ask for a local diner. They will have great food anywhere but Chicago. and it will be local.
Traveled a bit. This is one truth. Eat local eat well.

Actually, the food got better everywhere else and we just stayed the same. Been too busy the last few years trying to make 'Merica great again to focus on cookin'.

Chicago food is 1000 times better than St Louis food. BUUUUTTTT, covid put a serious hurt on everything.
Most of my favorite, non-chain restaurants have closed.

When I visit a big city, I always look for locally-owned ethnic eateries because they are found nowhere else but at the ethnic source. So unless you're in Paris, the best place for pastries will be at a patisserie in a big city. Same for tamales in Mexico, etc.

Oh wow. That does cause an effect. It made me think of those old Magic Eye books from the 1990s. That and a little wibbly wobbly
