All I will say is there is MANY MANY Asians there. Not too many Hispanics... I was only there 3 days, I want to go back and do more soon...

I flew there, but I think it would be better to drive. Its around 500 miles I think. I checked out Niagara falls while I was there too so it worked out well.

Chicago's answer to fast food

Why don't vendors sell fish tacos, noodles, or buritos from these carts?

Absolutely! And doesn't a "Midwestern Meatloaf" include a hardboiled egg in the middle of it? I know mine did when I was growing up.
