Not because of their great city life, beautiful beaches, amazing shopping (I am a little biased being from Chicago myself) but because of their hot dogs. I have great memories of being little and going for a REAL Chicago hot dog – meaning all beef, poppy seed bun and all the fixings! I got my hands on some Red Hot Chicago jumbo beef franks, beef polish sausage and of course the legendary poppy seed buns. The Red Hot Chicago folks sell the real deal, just like I remembered. I fired up a jumbo beef frank just last night and topped with everything as you can see and was in pure heaven. The dog had a little snap to the casing and the inside was juicy and filled with great flavor. The oversized dogs fit perfectly in their soft bakery style buns. I am back to being a hot dog snob—only Red Hot Chicago dogs will do for me!
