Unlike other cities, Chicago does not shut down even on some of the coldest winter days. Still, Lake Michigan’s wind chill can take a toll. Armed with that knowledge, many Chicago restaurants invest in robust delivery options to ensure customers are able to enjoy food without compromise from the comfort of their own homes. And with multiple delivery services now operating in Chicago, more and more spots are getting in on the action. New additions to the map include Indian egg dishes at Egg-O-Holic, Northern Thai street fare at Ghin Khao, and pork-centric taqueria Carnitas Uruapan.
