Recently, Polly #3 visited the beautiful city of Chicago and before she went, she was told that she had to try three things when she was there….Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, Chicago Popcorn, and of course, a Chicago Dog! What? You’ve never heard of a Chicago Dog! In a word, they’re awesome! Located at 26 E. Randolph Street in “The Loop”, America’s Dog serves a humdinger of a Chicago hot dog, in fact, their sign says that they are voted the #1 hot dog in Chicago!
A pickle on a hot dog? Of Course! That's how they do it in Chicago!
Okay, okay….I know you can’t take the suspense any longer! Available regular or jumbo-sized, a Chicago Dog is topped with mustard, relish, onions, sport peppers, tomatoes, and celery salt. The finishing touch is a pickle spear snuggled inside the already crowded bun! This culinary delight is sure to please, but make sure you grab a big stack of napkins before you take your first bite. A Chicago Dog is tasty and messy! Polly seems to be on a roll (no pun intended)with hot dogs lately….check out the red hot dogs she discovered in Maine this summer!

Polly #3, you should stick with healthy flies or maybe some German food, but not a Chicago Dog…

I don’t know about flies, but weinerschnitzel and kraut sounds good.

What precisely are sport peppers?

That’s one hungry looking frog!

I don’t agree with the hot dog taste, but I do with the pizza! I love Chicago Deep Dish Pizza because of the pepperoni,sausage,and cheese. I do not like the Chicago Dog because everthing on it but the hot dog! I was in Chicago this summer. I liked the Willis Tower.

Jazzy Jeff…Sport peppers are very hot little peppers

I’m voting with Collin–that pickle spear would ruin the hotdog. Chicago pizza, however, is really good.
