Best Chicago-Style Hot Dog in Chicago, IL
An all-beef frankfurter in a poppy seed bun, topped with yellow mustard, chopped white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, pickled sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt.
The absolute gold standard for the Depression-style dog; the snap of the casing and the fresh-cut fries are unbeatable.
