Illinois’ Most Popular Food of 2020 According To Grubhub

We've ordered carryout and delivery food in 2020 maybe more than any other year.

One of the leading food delivery apps, Grubhub took a closer look at what was more popular than any other.

While Wisconsin's favorite delivery food of 2020 was Italian Beef, I was a little surprised to find Illinois' most popular.

According to Grubhub, the Hot Chicken Sandwich is Illinois' favorite food of 2020.

Looks like you can pick up a Hot Chicken Sandwich at these Rockford restaurants:

• Smokey Bones, 6690 East State Street.
• Magpie, 126 North Madison Street.
• Prairie Street Brewing Company, 200 Prairie Street.
• Pig Minds Brewery, 4080 Steele Drive.

The most popular hot chicken sandwich is officially designated as "hot." Popeyes serves up a chicken sandwich so legendary people were selling them on the internet.

The Spicy Chicken Sandwich from Popeyes, in my opinion, was the most popular delivery food of 2020.

If you can believe it, the most popular pizza in America according to GrubHub is Hawaiian. Its popularity went through the roof in 2020, up 689% in just a year.

Hawaiian pizza is one of the most divisive foods on the planet. Either you're for Hawaiian pizza or you're absolutely disgusted by its very existence.

Personally, I'll eat. Then again, it's pizza and I'll eat anything. Which Rockford place makes the best Hawaiian pizza? Tell us.
