One day driving back with from a clients with an employee, we stopped in to get a hotdog. Just a hotdog, coke, and maybe a few fries. Instead, we got a great tasting meal that had us full until lunch the next day. Thumbs up.
Next door used to be The Thirsty Whale, a great club that you could see Cheap Trick, Survivor or many other great bands in a forum with 200 other people. Once the music was done, two dogs, mustard and onion, one tamale and an orange soda at Gene & Judes! Loved growing up in the Western Suburbs.
Hah! The Whale. I hadn't thought of that place for like 30 years. I did my time at the Triton Institute for Technology. I ate beefs at Johnny's. I had Russell's BBQ. BUT I still go to G&Js.
I went to this restaurant years ago with my wife. She made the comment about “where’s the ketchup?”The entire cooking line came to an abrupt halt and I felt we were about to be thrown out of the place. They were definitely not happy and appeared pretty insulted. We were told we don’t put ketchup on hotdogs! Period!
Best hot dogs ever! A friend once told me “those who can’t eat a hot dog without ketchup go to the MacDonalds across the street to steal their ketchup packets” 😂
My parents and I have been going here for a long time. If we’re in the area, we stop here and get us some dogs. They are the best. My mom loves the fries. I just love everything about it. If you’re near the River Grove area, stop at Gene and Jude’s, and get yourself a couple of dogs.
The BIGGEST TRAGEDY OF ALL...THE LOSS OF THIRSTY WHALE NEXT DOOR TO Gene and Judes.... I still think... the Tiki Bar still on River Road I don't know if Cock Robin is still AROUND great for shakes and ice cream and stuff like that is still there. I have not been in River Grove in a while....I WORKED AT THE WHALE WHEN I WAS A TEEN....METAL/ HAIRBANDS...HOT CHICKS AND 3$BLUE CHIP WEDNESDAY DRINK 2 HOURS WELL DRINKS...OR DOMESTIC DRAFT BEER....I GOT MY 3$ WORTH THATS FOR SURE😂😂😂...WHO EVER REMEMBERS THAT PLACE WILL HAVE A STORY OR 2 TOO TELL YA👍👍👍 I WOULD prefer JIMMYS ON GRAND OVER Gene and Judes...BUT, IN MY CASE...THATS WHERE ARE DAD TOOK US....
The best places are the ones where there is very little on the menu.. served with the freshest ingrediants.. The cooks can perfect the product and the customer will keep coming back cos they know exactly what they are getting. If i was to own a food truck it would only serve fries with any choice of topping or sauce. taco.. garlic mayo and cheese, bacon bits.. salsa. And as fries are cheap you keep the costs down to near nothing.
I've been reading the somewhat negative comments re the host. I have watched about 20 of his videos so far and ....... well he has grown on me. I think he really likes what he is doing even if he is kind of a hot dog himself.
They should shoot a video of Gene & Jude's like a Warhol movie. Fixed position and just watching the patrons and staff. I grew up in the area and YES - Gene & Jude's RULES. (2) with everything & peppers please. Super Dawg on Milwaukee Ave. is a distant second.
I once went for an interview for movie theater. Took them a long time to finally tell me the position was for a hotdog costume selling the dogs. Takes a special kind of person. I'm far from special.
I came to the comments to see posts that will fuel my hate for this host, I was not disappointed
2:46 😂🤣
Yeah, he gets touchy feel with the customer while insulting them. Sorry I'm 2 years late on this.
The only reason I come to the comments. Like at least it isn’t that annoying AF British try hard guy
@@AkodoNoEyes This guy's worse.

I went to High School with Dan. He’s a great guy. Always genuine and down to earth 🙂 Love Gene & Jude’s!!!
Their fries I just love them!

It is, that is why everyone here is fat
Trust us you'll live longer without it...
@@edrosales1520 im Latino and theres a bunch of flacos. If you know what that is
This isn't what Americans consider fast food, it's not a chain
Los angeles street tacos are unbeatable they stack your taco with so much meat
that boi just wanted to eat, let him eat bruh dont grab his hand
Thank yall for this video! When I get homesick videos like this bring me home! Chi town! My kind of town!
Host: I got a C+ in math
Me : yes, I couldn't agree more
Gene and Jude's.. often imitated never duplicated... Best Hot dog and fries ever. Total Heaven!
Not even Jimmy's in Chicago can come close!
I hope someone punches this guy right in the throat.
2:46 😂🤣
I kind of like this host XD
Said no one ever.
I live in this area and Gene and Judes is packed everyday. It’s literally the best hot dog I’ve ever had since I was a kid.
You lucky looks tasty hot dog with those Fries
Who in the hell cares what somebody else tops their food with? They're the ones who are eating it not you.
Hate the Nazi no ketchup cultists. Most don't even know why they say it, just want to be in with the cool kids and belong to anything they can.
@@abcdefghijklmnop1488 2:45 😂🤣
"It's leaking." Cut to shot of BP gas station. Ha
My first Chicago dog was Gene & Jude's. Can't wait to go back for another round.

I made it over 2 minutes before having to agree with everyone else; this dude is a knucklehead....
I WILL BE DEPRESSED IF THEY EVER CLOSE THIS HOT DOG STAND!!
As an eastern european i have no idea why iam subbed to this channel since ive been to US only like twice or so and ive never been in Chicago lol
the host is either really passionate about his work, or coked out. And I know coke
where can you get round steam table ceramic insert hot dog was cook in?
I can't argue with this. He finally got one right.
The dude really think he was the first to put fries on a hot-dog...
used to pick up weed in the parking lot lol
That's hilarious
I got a name change for that place , dog and doobs
I go there once almost every week! theyre fantastic!
I've eaten here many times and they are awesome!
Just love this, I'm hungry now at 2:15am.
Awesome! Planning on going there this Thursday!
The hotdog guy looks like that one dude who wins the special olympics in The Ringer lol
The host is cringy asf lol

Wow. They put fries ON the dog?
And others copied them but they're the OG?
I'm just so impressed. No one thought of doing that before.
Demon dawgs under the "L" on Fullerton is pretty good too. As a kid, always went there.
Not there anymore, hasn't been for a while :(
SuperDawg is # 1 for me,,, since the early 60's
Be a rebel. Walk in and ask for ketchup. I dare you.
Just ketchup. No dog. Thanks
The host is holding this show back by a mile
that host definitely been caught by Chris Hansen
The Best Hot Dog around. I remember going there when it was a little shack. Even in the winter, People were lined up in the cold (out side) waiting.
Is these place still there?
Simply put.....the very, very best ANYWHERE!

1:25 Freddy Kruger stuffs his gob with fries. fml
These videos make my Salivary Glands very very uncomfortable!! DX
CAN NOT GET JUST ONE DOG, GET THE DOUBLE DOG!!
i’d tell the Host “Get away from me and let me eat”
why doesn't that guy go to that side of town often ?
Nothing Else Compares!
Looks like he would hold a fast food store at gun point for not serving breakfast after 11:30
Do you like hot dogs?
Me : No, i like hot girls.
Best comment EVER
Ill take ketchup vs the host
I'm heading to 711 to get a hotdog
I thought everyone was being harsh on this dude for no reason cause he seems nice. Then I watched the video.
TheRagman 😂😂
Great stuff was that next to the Thirsty Whale?
Life is to short to wait that long for a hot dog!!!!!!!
Johnny’s beef🔥

Location : River Road and Grand
Coming to Chicago just for this! 😋.
And someone smack the host.
I promise hands down,that place is great!
Beautiful
Im not even from Chicago and I am on a diet. Why am I doing this to myself.. WHY!????????
HotDogs lookin' Like a 10, Host is acting like a 1. Whatta Scrub 😂
if you go to France they have a slam sandwhich with fries on it, was really awesome
1:56 the kid in the background is the best...cringe moment... hahahahahhaah
1:54 taking Cringe to a whole new level!
No ketchup!!!!! Never, ever Ketchup! That is desecration of a good Dog. I would suggest a Flint, Michigan Coney Island Sauce on these dogs..YUMMY
Shut up with your hardcore rhetoric. You only started saying no ketchup cause you were told to which makes you another silly sheep.
Is Flint,Michigan sauce like death sauce or something?
I just drooled all over myself!
looks great
If you put fries on my hot dog I need ketchup.
If some stranger grabbed my hand as I was putting food to my mouth, I’d flip out.
LOL

love hotdogs, and with fries... perfect!
this place is all about the fries.
Damn didn't know Mr meeseeks was from my city chi
I can spot a good fry from a mile away. These look really fucking good
I asked for some catsup. you would think I spit on the cross. Guess you don't do that in Chi town
I've never been to Chicago but who can say no to a hot dog with fries on it?
Those fries look really good
I live her and I love this place
Jimmy Buffs in Newark, NJ invented potatoes on the hot dog
In Cape Town we have something like this just 5 times bigger and its called a Gatsby. Read about it!
I've been putting fries on top of hot dogs for years.
There will be no trophy.
ketchup and mustard has always been the staple on hotdogs
but some part of the world it's like putting bleach
cool!!
wow, very cool !
The host probably shot this while his job was on the line
