My Chicago restaurant list has officially been updated through March 2026.

These are all the places I've visited over the past 2 years.

It includes more about 175 spots.

There are pages by cuisine, neighborhood, and for my favorite restaurants.

@FB_FilmAnalysis 100 percent

[Robert Mays @robertmays]

@ccallaway33 @FB_FilmAnalysis Right about where I am.

[Robert Mays @robertmays]

@josephperson Somehow, yes!

[Robert Mays @robertmays]

Heading home after 15 camps in the past 18 days. Gotta say: This is one of my favorite stretches of every year. Not sure I ever think, “I can’t believe this is my job” more than in August. Just getting to talk football and learn stuff with new people every day. Truly a privilege.

[Robert Mays @robertmays]

@blakeistaco Going to Oro. Have wanted to for years, and haven’t been made it for a variety of reasons.

[Robert Mays @robertmays]

So far:

Si! Mon (LA)
Komal (LA)
Musang (Seattle)
Chopnblok (Houston)
Moon Rabbit (DC)
Friday Saturday Sunday (Philly)
Morcilla (Pittsburgh)

Planned on Cordelia in CLE and Squable in HOU but travel plans changed. https://t.co/s5ltnnJyUN

@robertmays Your Camping pods continue to be my favorite series of training camp🫡 Also, if you get the chance, can you list the restaurants you visited on your training camp stops? Thanks!

[Robert Mays @robertmays]

@AaronMartinSFU Still have 6 more. Bears on Thursday, and then back out on Friday.

[Robert Mays @robertmays]

Congratulations. You are a member of the Bears starting secondary. Yes, you. Stop looking behind you. I’m talking to you.

A long, physical practice today as promised by Ben Johnson. DB Cam Lewis was in full pads but left early after warmups. Didn't see CB Tyrique Stevenson on the field for the final team period.

[Robert Mays @robertmays]

@tsims_6 I assume tomorrow!

@MattHarmon_BYB I am so ready. I can’t even tell you how it felt to be there and hear him talked up. I was levitating.

[Robert Mays @robertmays]

Yesterday was our 1-year anniversary with Frankie. She is the best. Go visit your local rescue.

[Robert Mays @robertmays]

Almond Joy is the longest-tenured pup at
@onetailatatime, the rescue we work with and where we got Frankie. She's spent 1000 days in foster.

She needs to be a solo dog, but seems like such a sweet, loving girl who deserves a place to call home.

@hawkblogger @davehelman_ This is ridiculous.

I would never say Kyle Monangai is winning MVP.

He’s gonna be OPOY.

[Robert Mays @robertmays]

@mibpj2 @TA_FootballShow @davehelman_ It's a good thought, and probably the right way of looking at it.

[Robert Mays @robertmays]

@BrandonThornNFL @TA_FootballShow Not this time around, but I'll do it soon. I will say that I wish we'd done my chat with Mailata on video. But it did happen, and I'm excited to get into it on the relevant shows over the next month.
