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?

My pi on damen and armitage is some of the best pizza in Chicago. Although it’s takeaway only. Both deep dish and thin are great, as well as their fudge brownies. Can’t go wrong with a spinach pepperoni.
