definitely hit this up.
http://www.sr20-forum.com/mid-west/35964-il-all-nissan-infiniti-meet-bbq-saturday-9-18-2010-11am-sunset.html its one of the bigger meets of the year, and there are quite a number of cars and food. i would fly back up just for this meet, but homework comes first.
pizza, check out classic slice in bayview. definetly a good buy and of good value.

ice cream and custard, check out kopps.
Kopp's Frozen Custard doesnt matter which one, but they ALL have some of the best ice cream/custard around.
hot dogs, you gotta go to spartis in kenosha on the way to chicago.
Sparti's Gyros
gyros . you gotta hit up oakland gyros. the one and only on oakland and locust. east side 'uwm city' for food. you can say they are expensive, but its worth it, and the portion sizes are huge. they are also the closest thing open on campus until 4am iirc.
microbrews (dont know if your into that). hit up the water street brewery for a tour. its definitely a good experience.
then again, if wes decides to put some of him input into this thread, that guy knows like ALL the best spots for food. seriously.
