Chicago is known for a number of things: Italian Beef, Deep Dish, The Cubs, The Bear(s)... the list goes on. But in my opinion, there is one regional dish that trumps all the others. It's beefy, tangy, crunchy, juicy, and delicious, and it goes by the name The Chicago Dog. I invited a buddy of mine, chef, writer and Bon Appétit certified Dog Expert Dennis Lee over to help me decide which beef business beats the bunch. Let's munch! 🤘🏼 Adam

    "The Weiner Circle is known for being a little rowdy" ...They literally had Marshmallow perform on their roof last weekend lol
  • @bloodypayback187
    Love the home Depot honorable mention, truly an underrated hot dog stand
  • @KroniK13
    I must say that I grew up in the NW side of Chicago and a common sentence for ordering a hot dog was, Yo, one dog, put wheels on it and roll it tru the garden. Many, too many small stands to name.
  • @HeySeanEly
    This was quite obviously a fantastic watch; thoroughly enjoyed both of you together. As a Chicago food guy, I just want more of THIS. Great dynamic guys 🌭🔥 - shoutout to hot dogs being called ‘refreshing’ because I’ve felt that.
  • @robertlynn7332
    Thanks guys. This brought me great memories. I spent 22 years in Chicago and have eaten at many of these joints. I also remember a few that aren't there anymore. Demon Dogs, the original Gold Coast Dogs in Lincoln Park ( where I had my first Chicago Dog...a double char) and Hot Doug's (with duck fat fries)... Love that Wolfy's and the Home Depot made the honorable mention list. I used to go to the Vienna Beef factory at it's previous location when they sold the dogs in what was the employee cafeteria.
  • @The-Hot-Dog-Show
    Nice work, fellas! Looks like the kind of hot dog day we love over at the Hot Dog Show
  • @kukukachoo419
    So glad you went to gene and judes. Such a good spot. Everytime i cone home to the suburbs to visit family, gotta make the trip
  • @granataj70
    this channel deserves 10x the subscribers all day
  • Us NYers don’t put ketchup on our dirty water dogs either. Neither does The man Harry Callahan
  • @discopants68
    As a lifelong Chicagoan, watching this was like “Been there… been there… gotta try there… been there…”
  • @geralddraper4491
    I have an autographed copy of "Don't Put.Ketchup on a.Dog" not to mention worked at a few iconic doggy dog spots in the North Side . Not to mention opened up a place. Since Stash's to Wiener Take All in the mid 80s til the mid 90s I have learned how tight a community the Vienna & traditional Poppy seed buns.are.presented with such pride & joy
  • @varunaX
    first guy ive ever seen in my entire life on this planet who ties their hoodie strings into a bow
  • Great videos brother. The one with the fries is my shit. Gonna go get a hot dog now
  • @dfb8854
    You also can buy that neon green relish and sport peppers at Jewel food store and also Albertsons out west.
  • Back in the sixties we would go swimming at Whealand pool then go for hot dogs afterwards. It was either Super Dawg or Tasty Pup who ran it thru the garden with the lettuce, cucumber and green peppers. Chicago classics
