A Chicago institution expands southward:

A small point, really, but if you care, Gino's East opened its first Atlanta location today. In my rare visits to Chicagoland I always made it a point to go there (typically a now-defunct location in Rolling Meadows) for their deep-dish pizza. But now I'll be able to get it here.

So if you come visit Atlanta and get a hankering for deep-dish, you don't have to wait until you get home. And if you prefer hot dogs, Italian beef or gyros, a place in Marietta called Chicago Delights should prove quite satisfying.
