Weiner's Circle - by far the best!

Having owned a hot dog stand for 8 years in the 1970's and 1980's I am entitled to my opinion. Steamed 100% beef natural casing hot dog nestled gently in a steamed poppy seed bun with mustard, relish, chopped onion, tomato and pickle only. You have to taste the garlic and feel the snap of the casing. Too many condiments is like too many notes. Sport pepper and celery salt if that is your taste, not mine. As for ketchup...never, never, never, never.

Home Depot has some pretty good dogs. Hahah! But also, Colonel Mustard in Evanston, Wieners Circle on Clark, and Portillos all have good hotdogs. Mickeys on Harlem aint bad either.

Ketchup on hot dogs sets some people off. In today's Grub Street Chicago, Nick Kindelsperger explains why, maybe, ketchup is so unpopular on Chicago dogs: http://chicago.grubstreet.com/2011/08/why_chicagoans_dont_put_ketchu.html

I can't name just one! I don't mind a Portillo's Dog, drag it through the garden... But I do love Gene & Judes. Oh, man, do I! Then there's always Hot Dougs... :) See? Can't name just one!

Ok - I love the tomato and cucumber version, celery salt. "salad on a dog" version. Must be a kosher dog too.
