Ok I Subscribed. I originally grew up near Chicago. I just remember that my small town, Galesburg Illinois opened up an Underdogs when I was 8 years old, Many, Many Moons Ago and my Mom asked me if I wanted to try the Chicago Style Hot Dog. And I was like yes, and I ate it in under 3 minutes. And then I asked my Mom if I may please have another one? Which completely shocked her because she was not used to me asking for things. She happily gave me another one. I haved lived in the South now for a few decades, and sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night. Dreaming of Chicago Style Hot Dogs, and Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches and Italian Beef Sandwiches and Deep Dish Pizza. ARRRGGGHH!!!

my 1st Chicago Dog i ever had was from a little hot dog vendor on the sidewalk just out side of the Field Museum. That is a simple but great experience that is hard to beat.

Gene & Jude’s made the reputation because the Thirsty Whale iconic rock venue was right next door. Go to see an upcoming rock band, put back a few and go to G&J to finish the night. Same with Weiner Circle across the street from the Metro. Now that’s Chicago!!

I live near Chicago. Growing up the best hot dog was Wally's at Diversey and Central. It was a garden on a bun. I think it was a kosher dog. Mustard, shreaded lettuce, relish, tomato slice, and cucumber slice. Nothing like it exists right now.

So much of Chicago is about the towns in the city and where you live, I was near the Brickyard for a bit, so on a summer night in Gene & Jude's parking lot was one of the best places to eat a dog. To be honest, any picnic bench on asphalt or car trunk lid was as good as any fine dining.

What drives me crazy is the damned pickle. The original Chicago Dog has a slice of cucumber, thats what gives t its unique flavor. Make them build it with a cucumber because thats the only way. Im 65 and my Grandma took me shopping with her on Milwaukee Ave all the time and she always bought me a Chicago style hot dog from a bicycle cart vendor, always served with a cucumber no damned pickle. The pickle relish is already on the dog. I grew up on dogs all over Chicago and always made with a cucumber.
