Most participants in the Humboldt Park contest on Saturday dressed in the signature kitchen garb of Chef Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto, White's character on The Bear.
Ben Shabad, 37, a mental health therapist from Glenview, claimed the top prize: $50 and a pack of Marlboro Reds.
Shabad said people first started remarking on his resemblance to White during the actor's tenure on Showtime series Shameless, but he told Fox 32 he started to "get it all the time" -- three to four times a week -- after The Bear premiered and both men had the same hairstyle.
Shabad said his hair was not actually inspired by White.
"I kinda like the way it looks, and I just haven't cut it, so that's the story there," he said.
