Chicago is well known for being a top pierogi city because of the large Polish and Ukrainian populations. A pierogi is a type dumpling often filled with potatoes, cabbage, mushrooms, and beyond, served with sour cream and caramelized onions. Eating a pierogi is just as vital as seeing the sites of Chicago because it encompasses a large history of the city, plus they are really delicious.
