Chicago is home to dozens of culinary creations, and the jibarito is by far one of the best. Imagine a juicy steak sandwich with lettuce, tomato, garlic aioli, and instead of bread, two smashed and fried green plantains. Despite the mouthwatering description, host Jacoby Cochran had never tried the Puerto Rican masterpiece. So we grabbed three different sandwiches and made our way to Humboldt Park alongside local performer and community organizer Marisol “Pinqy Ring” Velez. We tasted the sandwiches, without knowing who made them, and decided who had Chicago’s best jibarito.
