00:00What's going on guys, it's interview time, the X, which is called the X-Checker, did

00:28I pronounce it right?

00:29Yes, X-Checker.

00:30So, we're waiting for pizza, this is the family that owns it, right?

00:34They own this, they own the 222, 222 Tavern, and Club X, and Club X, so, lots of history

00:41as we're seeing while we're waiting there, Al Capone, did Al Capone used to own it?

00:46Yeah, his brothel was upstairs, you guys did the rat race here, yes, we did something with

00:50Barstool, we did a rat race, and it's Al Capone out, it used to be Speakeasy, he had a brothel,

00:57they got the full tour, they're opening Speakeasy next door, where they used to come out from?

01:02So this is where they would hang out, so they would basically, this would be the part that

01:07the veranda would be next to, all of this is all still set up in the back, the door

01:13is what actually led them to the underground tunnels, to the sides, you'll see on the walls

01:18where they cemented the entryways for those tunnels, it's really, really cool.

01:26This is going to be the new Speakeasy, it's going to be dimmed out, more little private area.

01:32I saw you look awesome, roll back, they got the hoodies now, this is called The Huddle,

01:37very comfortable, 20% off, use the code PIZZA, right?

01:41Nailed it, okay, here we go.

01:44So this is what I would say, for Chicago, an in-between style for me, because a lot

01:52of times you get either the deep, or you get kind of the tavern, this one's kind of

01:57in the middle, it's living in between a tavern and a deep dish a little bit, One Bite Everybody

02:02Knows the Rules, also I haven't seen many places in my travels, I've been to a lot of

02:06places that say famous for pizza and ribs, it's a very unique combo, what are you more

02:12known for, the pizza or the ribs?

02:14I'd honestly say 50-50.

02:16Alright, here we go, One Bite Everybody Knows the Rules, ex-checker.

02:27Yeah, this is an interesting style, it really is in between the two.

02:39The pizza matches the vibes perfectly, kind of like wintery gray, a little bit filling,

02:47but I like it.

02:51Good crunch, I'd go...

03:017-4 on it?

03:04Not only that, a very unique style.

03:09I haven't had many in Chicago that fits right in the middle of this, but good, great vibes,

03:13the speakeasy vibes that they're opening in a little bit, highly recommend, and if

03:19you like your Mafia, your Al Capone, all that shit, this is the real deal, so thank you

03:24guys very much, very cool spot.

03:26Thank you so much, I really appreciate you.

03:27Yeah, thank you, nice to meet you.

03:36struggling going through it too, you know, I mean it was really cool to see what you
