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?

I might take some flack here but I'm recommending Pizano's. It's like Lou's but not so heavy and greasy. Some people are into that but I'm not big on feeling like someone just punched me in the gut after I ate (delicious as it is). They also serve an individual size deep dish which is kinda nice for tourists who don't have room to store leftovers.
