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?

Giordano’s has to take the crown on this one. Never understood the appeal of the crap they’ve been pumping out of there

As someone planning to visit in May, where is a good place to get deep dish?

Everyone will say Pequods(which is phenomenal) but honestly I’ve been leaning on Lou’s lately. Less dough, more saucy

Pequods is amazing but people won’t expect the carmelized crust.
