What's for dinner?

[baboon]

Ok, for us who have never been to Chicago, what’s a beef? Philly steak sandwich or Italian steak sandwich?

A combo has a link of grilled Italian sausage on it. Not all places have the Giardiniera or peppers. Having the sammich dipped is how I want mine

Al's was decent but not the best. Always go for cheese, hot peppers and extra gravy or fully dipped (juice/au jus). My favorite place would slather garlic butter on the bread before adding the beef and toasting it. You can also add a italian sausage link to the middle of it and they call it a combo.

A proper Chicago dog w/ everything. Steamed poppy seed bun, Vienna red hot link, yellow mustard, neon green relish, sliced tomato, onion, pickle spear, sport peppers, and celery salt. Best eaten while watching the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

I yank the sport peppers off, but bite them to drain the brine onto the dogs or fries. The poppy seed bun & neon green relish only makes it more better!

Vienna franks have a natural sheep intestine casing that snaps when bitten. I have seen raw cucumbers on Chicago dogs too.

Texas caviar and three bean salad with smoked yardbird. Followed up with Gas X!

I always get extra extra extra sport peppers. It makes it more better.

Have you had a Mexican dog? I think it's a Sonora dog. Wife made it one time, it was good but prep time wasn't good.

I have had them several different places and would take a bad Chicago dog over a great Señora Dog! Same goes for Chili Dogs. Now I only want a chili dog with my own chili. Canned chili hot dogs & if you go all out with cheese are just to salty for me.

James Coney Island is by far the very worse hot dog joint I ever ate ate. I'd rather have an Oscar Mayer Weiner or beef frank nuked in a nun with yellow mustard!

Early on as a Meat cutter the cold deli was part of the meat department. Boars Head would bring out their New York street cart with Franks, Brats & Knockwurst. My guess they were not typical of a New York Dirty Water Dog, but with the full Boars Head set up I could eat myself stupid!

Retail hot dogs run a gamut of flavor & quality. While I'll buy a Veinna Beef over anything Boars Head is next followed by Hebrew National & Nathans.

I've been to El Guero Canelo in Tucson a couple times and had their famous Sonoran Dog (a James Beard award winner). It was pretty good but IMHO a proper Chicago dog is the best dog in the country.

Sonoran Dogs from El Guero Canelo are a must if you’re driving through Phoenix or Tucson!

I agree with your list, except I would put Sabrett above Hebrew National.

When I was stationed in NJ, that's what all the dirty water dog vendors sold. Developed a taste for them.
