10. The Wiener's Circle. Love it or hate it, this greasy spoon has got a 'charm' all its own.

9. Gold Coast Dogs. All ten locations follow the Chicago-style recipe to the 'T'.

8. Superdawg Drive-In. The winking hot dogs on the roof will be a sight you won't soon forget.

7. Huey's Hot Dogs. While serving up great dogs and burgers, this eatery is also well-known for its vegetarian-friendly dishes.

6. Portillo's Hot Dogs. Both the nostalgia and the hot dogs are served up Chicago-style here.

5. Wiener & Still Champion. A good dog should be paired with good fries, and the freshly-cut ones here are among the best.

4. Fat Johnnie's Famous Red Hots. The shack's outward appearance doesn't stop hungry customers from lining up year round.

3. Gene's & Jude's. 'Chicago-style' means no ketchup. In fact, this restaurant doesn't even carry any at all.

2. fRedhots and Fries. Fred serves up rabbit, buffalo, and alligator. But don't worry; he has plenty of good old-fashioned hot dogs, too.
