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.

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

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.

Honestly, I didn't ever think that you'd do a hot dog segment because I wasn't sure that you eat them in England. You have such incredibly good sausage there.

Hey guys, it's not an old gas station. It is styled after a 1950s/1960s Drive-In. Back in the day, there were diners which u could pull your car up to the carport area & a Car Hop (Waitress/Waiter) would come out take your order. They would place your order w/the cook, & then return w/your food on a special tray that would be hooked onto your car door @ your driver's side & sometimes passenger side open window. You'd have to make sure your window was completely open. It was for the convenience of eating in your car. Back in the day, the Drive-Ins were hang outs/meet up spots for driving teens. I went to an old fashioned Drive-In w/my family when I was a kid. To let u know, there are Drive-In movies too. When I was a kid, my family would go watch movies from our car because it was cheaper & u could see a Double Feature. They'd have these metal speaker boxes that u could hook onto your window in order to listen to your film. The sound quality wasn't that great & you'd have to crank the volume all the way up to hear it.😄 There are a few Drive-In movies still around. Now, u can hear the movie thru your car radio.😊 Anyway, that was all I wanted to say, & give u a bit of American Drive-In history.😊

Thanks for sharing t!

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). :)

Several places are known for their hot dogs. Cincinatti has what's called "Skyline Dogs" that are drowned in chili. Arizona has the Sonoran Dog, a spicy dog served with guacamole, salsa, and other toppings. Nathan's in New York is world famous for their hot dogs. The scrambled dog from Columbus, Ohio, features a cut up hot dog buried in coleslaw, chili, oyster crackers, shredded cheese, onions, and relish. Detroit is home to the Coney Island Dog (A bit strange, since Coney Island is in New York,) and features a hot dog with beanless chili, mustard, and onions (Coney sauce is delicious.) Cleveland is home to the Polish Boy, a long piece of kielbasa topped with coleslaw, french fries, BBQ sauce, and hot sauce. There are more examples. While you're in Chicago, you might want to try the Bronzeville Bourbon Dog at Hot Dog Box. It's a unique local creation.

lol, Thanks for the information

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.

so glad u guys made it here to my hometown Chicago! u have to try our deep fried polish deep dish and thin crust pizza also amazing Chinese food and there is a English pub called elephant and castle! u gotta try it! it would be awesome to show u some places to eat next time u come here

Thanks for sharing your favorite way to enjoy hot dogs! It's always fun to hear about different food preferences.

I just watched your video from Mr. Beef and I cannot agree more that the dipped beef is the best. Chicago dogs I change the sweet relish for dill and get extra celery salt on them. So good!

Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts! It means a lot.

If you want to recreate this at home you need Vienna Beef jumbo dogs and the poppyseed buns. On the south side of Chicago our dogs had fresh cucumbers instead of pickles and no sport peppers. Wish you could have gone to Portillos and tried their classic Chicago dogs. Among their other popular items are the jumbo chili-cheese dogs with mustard and onions.

Thanks for the tips on how to recreate the authentic Chicago dogs at home! They were delicious

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.

That snap is from a natural casing dog. Vienna is the best.

Love natural casing dogs! They are kind of hard to locate here in Virginia

My Chicago hot dog = poppyseed bun, hot dog, mustard, sweet relish, cucumbers, tomatoes, celery salt. 💜💜💜

To get all the toppings, the traditional saying is "Drag it through the garden"!

Y'all are so lucky you've been all over trying different foods in different states. I've lived in Texas my whole life and never left. But I always wanted to try New York Pizza Chicago hot dogs fish and chips from England. And so on
