Brad Chmielewski and Steve Siwinski have a passion for food, and beer, and of course, hookah. Each week Brad and Steve visit bars, restaurants, and other venues in and around the city of Chicago and hopefully survive to tell about it. ChiHookah’s hosts give you a play by play of the best places to quench your thirst, fill your stomach or rock out with a little bit of news thrown into the mix for good measure.

Each episode also features a special guest, who joins the two around the hookah as they recap their weeks worth of eating, drinking and being merry in the Windy City.
