Chicago Dog

[Schwyy]

Off topic, but Sandy, as we are Friend in the Pitmaster Club, we are foes on Sundays in the Fall. I'm a Jets fan. You will be happy to know that last night I had a dream that the Bills beat the Jets in the opener and I was extremely pissed at Adam Gase. And Darnold played awful.

Hope that cheers you up!

A Chicago Dog is a Chicago Dog. There is no such thing as a "any way ya like it" thing. I once went to a street vendor in Milwaukee. He had his little stand & there was a sign listing his offerings. One of the listed items was a Chicago Dog, so, I ordered one. He looked at me & asked me what I wanted on it? Silence proceeded, a few seconds went by & I repeated, very slowly, "I....would....like.... a....Chicago.....Dog..... in my best Jim Ignatowski impression. The little guy speedily chirped back once again "what a ya want in it”? I walked away.

Thanks to the Midwesterners for helping this Northeasterner out!

P.S.

Not that anybody asked, but....Flat top griddled, saurkraut, and spicy brown mustard!!!

Ok, so just eat them whole. Got it!

Yup, it’s a piece of what makes it a Chicago dog.

In my opinion Chicago has ruined two foods I love.

Pizza and Hot Dogs

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Ask for extra, and pop one in your mouth with every bite.

I discard all peppers on any cured meats.

I’ve had a bunch and don’t remember ever having a stem I had to remove. I just eat them as served, on the hot dog.

As I am right down the road, I have had maybe 1,000 or more Chicago dogs. Ya think I like them? Bottom line on the peppers: Any way you like. The peps are considered optional. Personally, i eat them on the doggy, as served by the vendor. Yum.

As a lifelong New Englander, who has only had a Chicago dog twice, I have to ask, how do you eat the sport pepper? do you eat it with the dog, stem and all? do you eat it separately and discard the stem? do you de-stem and reapply to the dog?

let me know windy city pitmasters!!!
