CHICAGO — Chicagoans don't eat that much deep dish. 

This probably doesn't surprise you, but maybe tell your snotty New York friend to check out this video.

GrubHub sent out a video Friday showing foods that are ordered in Chicago way more than anywhere else in the country. 

Baked mostacolli, Italian beef and pizza puffs made the cut — with us being 70 times more likely to order puffs than anyone else. 

Why you ask? Well, pizza puffs are pretty unique to Chicago. Iltaco Foods say they created the "original" pizza puff in 1927, and people loved the deep fried pockets of pizza so much that they ultimately caught on in other Midwestern cities (though clearly, no one loves them like we do).
