Chicago’s Ten Best Hot Dogs 2008
Can you name the seven key ingredients for a Chicago-style hot dog? Here are ten great places to conduct your research (courtesy of Citysearch and Yelp).
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.
1. Hot Doug's. Folks line up around the block for the classic dogs and the duck fat fries.
