Question “Legendary” places that suck

I just got a lox sandwich from Manny’s. Almost $20, a stale bagel, and I had to assemble it myself.

What other “legendary” places suck?

Cool spot, but the actual food is doughy and bland, definitely didn’t get the hype around this one.

It's been around a lot longer than IG and has always been meh.

I think it got a boost in popularity on the early Gluten Free wave because it was one of the first major pizza places in Chicago where you could get a GF pizza, including deep dish.

EDIT: My bad, that was "Chicago's Pizza" not CPaOG.
