'One Chicago' Cast Members Share Love for Their Favorite Chicago Hotspots

Jessy Schram, Hanako Greensmith, and LaRoyce Hawkins discussed whether some Chicago landmarks are worth the hype.

The cast of the hit One Chicago shows are revealing some of their favorite things about the Windy City.

Jessy Schram (Hannah Asher on Chicago Med), Hanako Greensmith (Violet Mikami on Chicago Fire) and LaRoyce Hawkins (Kevin Atwater on Chicago PD) played a game of “ChicaGO or ChicagNO” with Parade, weighing in on whether some Chicago landmarks and must-haves are worth the hype.

The Bean located in Millennium Park was a surefire “go” for all three cast members, who also didn’t hesitate to throw their support behind Navy Pier, the lakefront tourist destination that’s home to the Centennial Wheel.

The trio was not in agreement when it came to the controversial deep dish pizza that Chicago is famous for. “Go, gently,” Schram said wearily, while Hawkins confidently chimed in, “that’s a go.” Unfortunately, deep dish did not get the love from Greensmith who added, “gentle no from me.”

Up next was another controversial one–the Willis (formerly known as the Sears) Tower.

“The Willis Tower, no, but if you call it the Sears Tower, it’s a go,” Schram said, offering a thumbs up. Hawkins was of the same opinion, noting, “no to the Willis, go to the Sears,” a sentiment also shared by Greensmith.

And with MLB's Opening Day upon us, Schram and Greensmith both gave Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, a “go.” As for Hawkins, he explained, “Hell no, I’m for the South Side,” adding, “and I enjoy the rivalry, actually,” revealing that he’s a die-hard White Sox fan.

The Field Museum was a “go” for all three stars, as was the Chicago dog, though Greensmith added that she still doesn’t “get the hate for ketchup.” For those not familiar with the Chicago classic—which is also a big hit with sports fans—it includes an all-beef frank in a poppy seed bun, topped with yellow mustard, relish, chopped onion, tomato, pickle spear, sport peppers, and celery salt—and don’t spoil the flavor with ketchup, a huge no-no in these parts of town.
