Is there a specific Illinois city you visit when you're looking to enjoy a delicious meal.

Sure, each city has its claim to fame. Every thriving metropolis houses a handful of eateries that exceed expectations and celebrate culinary excellence, but one city does it better than the rest.

This booming location not only has a few good restaurants that puts it on foodie's radar, but a wide array of eateries that serve the best cuisine in the state. Be it high-quality ingredients, menu variety, or unique flavor and spice combinations, something about this Illinois city puts it on top of the list of the best foodie cities in the country.

According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the city that serves the best food in Illinois is Chicago.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about the Illinois city that serves the absolute best food in the entire state:

"Of course, Chicago is the finest food city in the state of Illinois – and one of the best in the country. You could spend weeks in the Windy City and still not sample all its gourmet delights, from deep-dish pizza, Italian beef sandwiches and Chicago-style hot dogs to brownies (which are said to have been invented at the Palmer House hotel). The restaurant scene is buzzing, too. Try Avec (with a few locations, pictured) for Mediterranean-style plates, head to the two-Michelin-starred Oriole for fine dining, or swing by Pequod's Pizza for some of the city's tastiest slices."
