Superdawg Drive-In: superdawg.com/
First on our hot dog journey, we visit the historic Superdawg Drive-In, a true Chicago landmark since 1948. Located at the corner of Milwaukee, Devon, and Nagle, this family-owned and operated drive-in has been serving their unique Superdawg™ for over seven decades. With its retro vibe and carhop service, Superdawg offers an experience like no other.
What We Ordered: The classic Superdawg™ - a pure beef hot dog, nestled in a poppy seed bun, and topped with all the classic Chicago-style fixings including mustard, relish, onions, pickles, and peppers.
Devil Dawgs: www.devildawgs...
Next, we head to Devil Dawgs, a modern hotspot that started in Lincoln Park near DePaul University in 2010. Known for its quick service and premium ingredients, Devil Dawgs has rapidly expanded across Chicago, bringing their unique take on hot dogs and burgers to several neighborhoods.
What We Ordered: The Chicago Dog - featuring a premium beef hot dog topped with yellow mustard, bright green relish, chopped onions, tomato slices, a pickle spear, sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt, all encased in a poppy seed bun.
By the end of our delicious journey, we’ll reveal our favorite Chicago hot dog and explain why it stood out to us. Was it the nostalgic Superdawg Drive-In or the lively Devil Dawgs? Watch to find out! Don’t miss our first-hand experience and honest opinions as we explore these iconic Chicago hot dogs. Whether you’re a foodie, a hot dog enthusiast, or just curious about what makes these Chicago-style dogs so special, this video is for you! #food #foodie #tastetest #BritsTry #ChicagoHotDogs #Superdawg #DevilDawgs #ChicagoFood #FoodReview #ChicagoEats #HotDogTasteTest #ChicagoStyleHotDogs #BritishCouple #FoodVlog #ChicagoFoodie #HotDogComparison #ChicagoIcons #BestHotDogs #FoodieAdventure #BritsInChicago

Nothing better than a Chicago dog, can of soda, and some homemade fries. On a warm summer day.

[@thebritstry]

Sounds like the perfect summer combo! Thanks for watching

[@fredalwatkins4506]

Potato salad

[@kieralinn]

I'll rise you a Detroit Coney, chili cheese fries and a Vernors.

[@CarbonaraKing]

except...in Chicago we call soda ...."pop"...A can of pop, please!!!👍

[@johnwest5837]

Always Pop!

[@CarbonaraKing]

Chicago dog is very specific: Vienna beef dog poppy seed bun French's mustard Celery salt sport peppers dill pickle spear tomatoes wedges (slices) neon-green piccalilli (pickle relish) diced onions

[@thebritstry]

The Chicago dog is definitely a unique and delicious combination of flavors!

[@1nm1]

Sounds like a correct & accurate list to me, Good Job.

[@sheawalls9059]

Like mine with whatever pepper 🌶 they put on it

[@loubelle7139]

Yes and no ketchup.

[@patrickledonne5547]

If you really wanna be specific, the order of construction on a Chicago dog is: Dog in bun Mustard Relish & onion on opposite sides of the dog Tomato and pickle also on opposite sides of the dog Celery salt Sport peppers. Always celery salt before peppers. You want the dry celery salt on top of the moist condiments, not the drier peppers.

[@davemcbroom695]

Brits always call a hot dog a sausage. I know technically they are a sausage but considerably our sausages are different than hot dogs.

[@thebritstry]

Lol, yes we didn't realize we kept calling it a sausage until we edited this , Thanks for watching

[@cherylflam3250]

They also call vegis on hot dogs and burgers salad.

[@stetre83]

​@@thebritstry The second one you tried at Superdawg is what a lot of people around Chicago would call a sausage, a Polish sausage similar to kielbasa that's usually served with grilled onions. Not to be confused with Italian sausage which around Chicago is usually full of fennel

[@bluflaam777LSA]

@@cherylflam3250 I grew up calling the veggies on dogs/burgers salad also. I think I got that from my grandma. That is if every veggie was on it. Otherwise, i'd just call them out by name like a BLT (not the sandwich but the add-ons) or dog with heavy onion etc.

[@jameshobbs1460]

Don't forget the "Salad" on it.. lol

[@EricJames429]

You missed out at Superdawg, the “chunk of tomato” was a pickled tomato and you should have eaten that with your hot dog it has its own special flavor and texture.

[@thebritstry]

I appreciate you sharing this info! It's always great to learn about the special touches that make a dish unique. Next time we will give it a try.

[@paulmaseman2171]

I prefer original, traditional Chicago pizza, which is super thin crust. This is still the majority of all pizzas consumed in Chicago and is in line with the other traditions in the Midwest, from St. Louis to Minneapolis. My favorite pizza restaurant is, of course Vito and Nick's.

[@blippacg]

Nicola is very happy in this adventure, lots of smiles.

Hot dogs with chili (no beans), mustard, and onions - MY FAVORITE!

[@timbeatty8411]

My sister used to bring me here when I was a kid in the 70s. I moved away in 85. I think that's the last time I had a Superdog but I recognized it instantly. Got to love Chicago.

[@thebritstry]

It's amazing how certain memories can instantly transport us back in time!

[@KatieJoMikell]

Superdawg 😊

[@jameshelm2847]

I am glad to see you are enjoying the food in Chicago. I can't comment on either of the places you tried. When I was growing up in the '70s and '80s, we HAD to stop at a street vendor and get a street dog on almost every trip into the city. I admit they were using brats or beef sausages and not what most people would consider a hot dog, but getting it straight from the cart and then adding the topping you wanted. One of my most adds was sauerkraut. The Chicago street dog is more famous than the Chicago hotdog and has been used in movies. James Earl Jones had a scene in a movie where he was released from prison, and the first thing he did was get a street dog. "While You Were Sleeping," starring Sandra Bullock. Her character gets a dog from a street vendor several times in the movie. I haven't had a street dog in Chicago for a couple of decades, so I can't say they are still as good as they used to be, but I do know when we had relatives or friends come and visit, they all wanted to try a street dog, not any hotdog restaurant. I apologize for the length of my comment.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing your memories of street dogs in Chicago! It's always fascinating to hear about the food culture from different eras. Thank you for your comment!

[@alisasanders3]

Thanks for coming to Chicago. We love our Chicago style dogs.

The street dogs we got from the street vendors in NYC and Philly we called dirty water dogs. Just look at the water in the steamer at the stand. Yet a dirty water dog with sauerkraut? The best!!!!!

Thank you! It's all about spreading positivity and good vibes!

[@yaowsers77]

@@thebritstry absolutely! Haha I've had several waitresses and drive thru order takers ask why I was so polite and friendly when I ordered. My response is always some form of the following: You're going to bring me food that I didn't have to buy the ingredients, prep them, or cook them. And even better? I don't have to do the dishes! Why wouldn't I be pleasant towards you?! Heck, I don't Even have to bring my plates to the sink!

[@gloriastone3211]

The Superdawgs looked amazing - especially the grilled one!! I've never had a Chicago style dog but I know it's supposed to be a poppyseed bun and it has the tomato, onions, pickle, the neon green relish and sport peppers as they're called. The relish is so funky colored but that's traditional. Looking forward to the next video guys!

[@thebritstry]

It was so good! We would definitely have that again! Thank you for watching

[@cherylflam3250]

And don’t forget the celery salt !!!

[@markhowell4829]

The coolness of the tomato wedge counteracts the heat of the sport peppers. Each bite gives you a taste of every ingredient.

I love me a Chicago Dog. Now that Portilos are out around the country, I don't have to rely on the hot dog place in Home Depot anymore. Super Dawgs are good too. But I think you need poppy seed buns for a correct dog.

[@thebritstry]

We agree! it was really good. Thank you for watching

[@kellypedersen9896]

Chicago takes its hot dogs very seriously. For a food that is usually just dismissed as kid or comfort food, Chicago strives to make the hot dog an actual adult meal. Before they passed, you could see Maurie and Florie Berman hanging out at the Superdawg locations (using doing the accounts- Maurie was an accountant by trade). They actually autographed a shirt for me. :) And the Whoopskidawg is their take on the Polish sausage/ kielbasa sandwiches a lot of places offer at hot dog joints (Like Jim's Original)- but whereas most Polish sausages get served w/ mustard and a generous helping of grilled onions, Superdawg serves theirs w/ barbecue sauce- not necessarily "authentic", but really, really good. Other good spots to check out are Wolfy's (their char-dogs are amazing), and Gene & Jude's out in River Grove (oh, and that's close to Hala Kahiki, so you can get a gigantic tiki drink adterwards). :)

[@thebritstry]

Thank you for watching! we appreciate your detailed insights on the Chicago hot dog scene. Superdawg really was delicious! It's great to know about the history and the other must-visit spots for next time we visit.

[@-ram-m2664]

Whoopski Dog is a Polish Sausage. little mustard and a little onion. Delicious. the pickled green tomato is just a special bonus side item, unique to Superdawg, something a little bright and acidic after the heavy sausages. Glad you stopped by.

I was waiting for you try the the pickled green tomato! I really hope that you did, it's such a unique taste - so delicious 👍

[@thebritstry]

It's so good!

[@martygt3357]

The correct way to order is "sweet and Juicy" for dipped w/sweet peppers or "Beef w/hot" is not dipped and hot & sweet peppers. Also try a Combo, Same sandwich, same as above but 1/2 beef and an Italian Sausage.

[@bobhamrick8613]

The tomato at SuperDog are pickled. Not traditional, but with Cozy Fries and on a MaryAnn bun from Rosen's you have a Wiener!

The 'green tomatoes' are probably tomatillos. They are juicier than green tomatoes, and have a great tart flavor almost like citrus. I could be wrong, but I have never seen green tomatoes served as a wedge.

When you make your way to Connecticut for the apizza tour you will be able to try Louis Lunch (across the street from BAR pizza) home of the first hamburger served in the US. CT is also famous for the lobster roll with the first being served in a restaurant called Perry’s in Milford about 10K from downtown New Haven. Perry’s no longer exists but they are served all along the coast including the 7 Seas in Milford which also has amazing fish and chips. Also in New Haven is a meat packer Hummel Bros. whose hot dogs are sold everywhere in the county, if you don’t serve Hummels, you don’t stay in business long.

[@thebritstry]

Wow, thank you for the insider tips on where to eat in Connecticut. We can't wait to visit and try these iconic dishes!

[@Patrick-nv5ug]

A great number of cheap but large sandwiches and other food were created or became popular during the Depression to satisfy hunger for cheap. Hamburger variations in Oklahoma, Hawaii and Mississippi. Po Boys down south as well as Biscuits and Gravy, the Snicker Bar, Chicken and Dumplings, Spam......the list goes on and on.

I’m a native of West Michigan and, while I didn’t live in Chicago, I was about 2 hours away from the city and spent a lot of time there. I’ve since moved to New England-Boston, to be exact-but I have been very homesick for the Midwest lately, and especially Chicago. I miss Chicago style and Detroit style pizzas especially-the thin, Neapolitan style of the East Coast is fine but deep dish is the best to me. I’m sure if you’re in Chicago there’s a pizza episode coming up, and I’m looking forward to it! Definitely bring your appetites when you try deep dish; I can only eat a piece at a time, maybe two if I’m extremely hungry! Edit: If you ask people for recommendations you’re going to get some strong opinions in the comments for sure-some Chicagoans feel very strongly about their pizza faves. The last time I was there was for a concert and I ordered from a place near my Airbnb called The Art of Pizza which I really enjoyed. I also like Lou Malnati’s and Gino’s East-those are just two of the more well-known spots. I don’t think I ever had pizza in Chicago that I didn’t like though for me it’s about the crust and there are some that I think are better than others 😊 Have fun!

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for watching! It's never too late to start exploring new food adventures

[@HARTHEFOX]

Hot dogs are just so diverse, depending where you are. In Chicago, they'll run you out if you ask for ketchup. In New York, they typically do brown mustard and sauerkraut or onions. In the South some people eat it with mayo on the bun and ketchup on top. And then there's chili dogs, which are typically topped with cheese and sometimes just plain yellow mustard. I'm a whole hearted believer that people should just be able to eat and enjoy a good hot dog, whatever kinda way you want, but there are a frightening amount of people that will go up in arms defending their beliefs of what should be on a hot dog 😂 Also, if yall ever get a chance to try a hot link hot dog, it's definitely worth a shout.

It's amazing how the cooking method and meat blend can totally change the hot dog experience!

[@robinmullins2454]

Okay now I'm hungry!!!! I just watched you guys eating in NYC now hotdogs in Chicago!!! Stomach just took a bite out of my kidney lmaooo!!! See you guys soon!!!

[@thebritstry]

LOL! It is always tough editing these videos as it makes you so hungry. Thanks for watching

[@markhowell4829]

Hold it horizontal! Whether it's a hot dog, an Italian Beef, or a burrito, hold the food level and tilt your head to bite or it will end up in your lap.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for the tips!

[@mykillmetal1814]

First thing I see is a Superdawg menu board. I knew I clicked the right video. In my opinion, they also have the best burger in Chicago. The Whoopercheesie. (Double cheeseburger and fries)

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for tuning in and sharing your favorite Superdawg menu item! We will have to give the burgers a try next time!!

[@Venomn1]

Chicago back in the 80's truly had the best dogs..today i cant say

[@BigMic0023]

If you want another good sandwich , try Ricobene's breaded steak sandwich in Bridgeport. One of the best!

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely look up Ricobene's breaded steak sandwich next time.

I love Wisconsin also because of the natural beauty. An like Minnesota and north Dakota have a lot of Scandinavians. Up here there’s a lot of walleye and sport fishing so there’s a lot of fish that are eaten. We love a good bonfire and potluck and the outdoors. We just have to fight off the mosquitoes though. And deal with the Arctic cold winters even though this winter wasn’t bad.

[@thebritstry]

gene and Jude’s, It sounds like you really appreciate the beauty and outdoor lifestyle in Wisconsin. We would love to visit one day!

[@juliegreen-hernandez7140]

You need to come to Michigan and try Coney Dogs. Two rivals here in Detroit are, Lafayette Coney Island vs American Coney Island. To make it easier for you to try they are right next door to eachother

[@juliegreen-hernandez7140]

Also try Chicago style pizza vs Detroit

[@thebritstry]

That sounds like a fun food adventure! Thanks for the recommendation!

The SuperDawg bun is thin because it's fresh and steamed so it squished. I usually stop at SuperDawg on my from the airport.

[@thebritstry]

Good to know! The bun was spectacular! Thanks for watching

[@cristinaespinoza4818]

Super dog looks like it is the old fast food places where you would drive up, order and kids on roller skates brought your food to your car.

[@thebritstry]

It was so cool! Thank you for watching

[@Maiko100876]

Superdawg is an original 50’s drive in hot dog stand.

[@thebritstry]

It was so good! Thanks for watching

[@studa68]

Love a good Chicago dog! Guess what I’m having for dinner tonight! Going to the market right now to get the ingredients!

[@thebritstry]

That's awesome! Chicago dogs are such a delicious choice for dinner. Enjoy picking out those ingredients!

[@Marcel_Audubon]

I ordered a hotdog from a street cart in Norway once ... they served it on a piece of waxed paper, no bun, no toppings! coming from Chicago, I was speechless for the first time in my life

[@thebritstry]

That sounds like quite the cultural shock! Did you end up enjoying the bunless hotdog?

[@Marcel_Audubon]

@@thebritstry no! I couldn't eat it plain... all the Chgo. veggies, pickles, relishes, condiments, etc hide how boring a lone, steamed hotdog really is!

[@khb6686]

Most hot dog places in Chicago have a sign that says “If you are older than 10 years old do not ask for ketchup.”

[@scottsoloway]

Simply not true.

[@jabbawookeez01]

as someone from Chicago.. only thing i do is take out the tomatoes out the chicago dog and then i eat it.

[@djjerome]

I see you had your dogs 'dragged through the garden', which is the only way to have a traditional Chi-town hot dog.😉👍

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for noticing! Chicago-style hot dogs are delicious! Thanks for watching

[@roystoyscomics1361]

"Tell me Jefe....what is a plethora...?" - El Guapo - The Three Amigos. 😂 That's what we call a pickle spear. 😊

[@thebritstry]

😃Thanks for watching

[@leslieguild]

only in Chicago do you get that neon green relish, that big green chunk as you called it, is a pepper

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for the information!! Those hotdogs were amazing..

[@TamiRuiz-vs2qk]

My dad from Chicago so I always had hot dogs,onions, tomato,relish,and cucumber ,mustard,best hot dog around,no ketchup on my dog

[@thebritstry]

That sounds like a delicious hot dog combination!

[@tony_25or6to4]

The WhoopskiDawg is a Polish/Hungarian sausage. I guess it's their version of a Maxwell St Polish.

[@thebritstry]

It was delicious! and our favorite! we are dreaming about on of those now! Thanks for watching

[@Swatican]

Visit Tony's Italian Beef for a Mexican Grilled Steak Sandwich? I travel from Indianapolis to there specifically for that sandwich... (you are also only about an hour away from the Albanese gummy factory and store in Merrilville, Indiana.)

[@thebritstry]

Thank you for the recommendation! I'll have to check out Tony's Italian Beef and maybe swing by the Albanese gummy factory next time we are in town, Thanks for watching

[@declankell597]

So you are at SuperDawg, a couple of miles from there is the Best Italian Beef in Chicago at JAY's Beef. Dont forget to get it dipped.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for the advice!
