Superdawg Drive-In: superdawg.com/
First on our hot dog journey, we visit the historic Superdawg Drive-In, a true Chicago landmark since 1948. Located at the corner of Milwaukee, Devon, and Nagle, this family-owned and operated drive-in has been serving their unique Superdawg™ for over seven decades. With its retro vibe and carhop service, Superdawg offers an experience like no other.
What We Ordered: The classic Superdawg™ - a pure beef hot dog, nestled in a poppy seed bun, and topped with all the classic Chicago-style fixings including mustard, relish, onions, pickles, and peppers.
Devil Dawgs: www.devildawgs...
Next, we head to Devil Dawgs, a modern hotspot that started in Lincoln Park near DePaul University in 2010. Known for its quick service and premium ingredients, Devil Dawgs has rapidly expanded across Chicago, bringing their unique take on hot dogs and burgers to several neighborhoods.
What We Ordered: The Chicago Dog - featuring a premium beef hot dog topped with yellow mustard, bright green relish, chopped onions, tomato slices, a pickle spear, sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt, all encased in a poppy seed bun.
By the end of our delicious journey, we’ll reveal our favorite Chicago hot dog and explain why it stood out to us. Was it the nostalgic Superdawg Drive-In or the lively Devil Dawgs? Watch to find out! Don’t miss our first-hand experience and honest opinions as we explore these iconic Chicago hot dogs. Whether you’re a foodie, a hot dog enthusiast, or just curious about what makes these Chicago-style dogs so special, this video is for you! #food #foodie #tastetest #BritsTry #ChicagoHotDogs #Superdawg #DevilDawgs #ChicagoFood #FoodReview #ChicagoEats #HotDogTasteTest #ChicagoStyleHotDogs #BritishCouple #FoodVlog #ChicagoFoodie #HotDogComparison #ChicagoIcons #BestHotDogs #FoodieAdventure #BritsInChicago
Chicago dog is very specific:
Vienna beef dog
poppy seed bun
French's mustard
Celery salt
sport peppers
dill pickle spear
tomatoes wedges (slices)
neon-green piccalilli (pickle relish)
diced onions
The Chicago dog is definitely a unique and delicious combination of flavors!
Sounds like a correct & accurate list to me, Good Job.
Like mine with whatever pepper 🌶 they put on it
Yes and no ketchup.
If you really wanna be specific, the order of construction on a Chicago dog is:
Dog in bun
Mustard
Relish & onion on opposite sides of the dog
Tomato and pickle also on opposite sides of the dog
Celery salt
Sport peppers.
Always celery salt before peppers. You want the dry celery salt on top of the moist condiments, not the drier peppers.
Nothing better than a Chicago dog, can of soda, and some homemade fries. On a warm summer day.
Sounds like the perfect summer combo! Thanks for watching
Potato salad
I'll rise you a Detroit Coney, chili cheese fries and a Vernors.
except...in Chicago we call soda ...."pop"...A can of pop, please!!!👍
Always Pop!
Traditional Chicago dogs do use poppy seed buns. I think they also use Vienna sausage as the hot dog so I would say that Super Dawgs was the best choice you made. Plus I'm glad you're learning to like tomatoes. I love them.
Thanks for sharing!! That Superdawg hot dog was delicious
ts vienna brand hotdogs
Vienna sausages are the small ( 2 inch ) sausages that come in a can. You’re thinking of Vienna Beef franks ( all beef hot dogs ). Easy to confuse.
Unlike most Chicago hot dog stands, Superdawg does not get their sausages from Vienna. They use a proprietary product.
Super Dawg has their dogs made for them, they are not Vienna dogs, also they use pepperocini peppers not sport peppers they are not Chicago style.
Not an old gas station. This is a classic 1950s drive-in restaurant similar to A&Ws that are still present some places in the US. Drive up, push the order button, and wait for the server to deliver your meal. Generally these were served on a tray made to hand on the car window. Servers used to commonly be on roller skates.
Thanks for the clarification! Drive-in restaurants from the 1950s sure had a unique charm. The hot dogs were delicious
Sonic used to have servers on roller-skates until fairly recently. That neon green relish is legendary on a true Chi-dog.
Emerald Relish
It was a traditional car hop back in inception.
Those were fun days.
Brits always call a hot dog a sausage. I know technically they are a sausage but considerably our sausages are different than hot dogs.
Lol, yes we didn't realize we kept calling it a sausage until we edited this , Thanks for watching
They also call vegis on hot dogs and burgers salad.
@@thebritstry The second one you tried at Superdawg is what a lot of people around Chicago would call a sausage, a Polish sausage similar to kielbasa that's usually served with grilled onions. Not to be confused with Italian sausage which around Chicago is usually full of fennel
@@cherylflam3250 I grew up calling the veggies on dogs/burgers salad also. I think I got that from my grandma. That is if every veggie was on it. Otherwise, i'd just call them out by name like a BLT (not the sandwich but the add-ons) or dog with heavy onion etc.
Don't forget the "Salad" on it.. lol
You missed out at Superdawg, the “chunk of tomato” was a pickled tomato and you should have eaten that with your hot dog it has its own special flavor and texture.
I appreciate you sharing this info! It's always great to learn about the special touches that make a dish unique. Next time we will give it a try.
Aww...Superdawg! Maurie and Flaurie are still flirting on the rooftop. Glad you enjoyed❤
Superdawgs was soo good!!!! Thanks for watching
Serious. Y’all are doing it right.
I see Nicola is getting increasingly more elated as the food mega-tour continues. She knows that good American food is right around the corner. 😋👍
Thanks for the shoutout! Nicola is definitely pumped for the American food tour!
Nicola ordering at super dogs was so pleasant and cute and British “ yes please”
Thanks you for your very kind words! Thanks for watching
*Superdawg
You’ve done the Italian Beef and now the Chicago Dog, one more thing the famous Deep Dish Pizza! 🇺🇸😀
Watch this space😉😉
Agreed! Had pizza in Italy several times but Chicago Deep Dish is by far my favorite!
And don't forget the original Maxwell Street Polish and porkchops.
@@thebritstry
Lou Malnati’s is by far the best.
I prefer original, traditional Chicago pizza, which is super thin crust. This is still the majority of all pizzas consumed in Chicago and is in line with the other traditions in the Midwest, from St. Louis to Minneapolis. My favorite pizza restaurant is, of course Vito and Nick's.
Hot dogs with chili (no beans), mustard, and onions - MY FAVORITE!
It's awesome to hear that we share the love for these toppings! Thanks for commenting!
Yes that's my second go to.
Yes, i prefer dijon mustard, so yum
How we doing my friends? Enjoy yourselves in the Chi. They have amazing food.Stay Blessed!Peace & Blessings
Thanks for the positive vibes! Your message made our day.
Poppy seed bun are a requirement.
They certainly tasted good! Thanks for watching
Gene and Jude's for a Depression Dog.
Thanks for the suggestion, we will definitely try Gene and Jude's next time
@@thebritstry Gene and Jude's are #1...around Chicago
Superdawg was a staple of my teenage years. So glad you liked it!
It's so good! Thank you for watching
Nicola is very happy in this adventure, lots of smiles.
Thanks for coming to Chicago. We love our Chicago style dogs.
Chicago was so much fun! we would have loved to have spent more time there. Next time we will stay for longer. Thanks for watching
Y’all’s change in attitude towards tomatoes has been hilarious to watch…your palettes are changing as you eat your way across America 🫶🏽👍🏾😁
Yes, and pickles instead of gherkins. When I was very young, gherkins were those very small baby dills and didn't taste anything like a dill pickle. I've since learned that the gherkin cucumber is slightly different than the cucumbers used for dill pickles. I never liked gherkins, still don't!
Lol! Yes we are changing
Vienna hot dogs
The best, bar none.
Hey guys, it's not an old gas station. It is styled after a 1950s/1960s Drive-In. Back in the day, there were diners which u could pull your car up to the carport area & a Car Hop (Waitress/Waiter) would come out take your order. They would place your order w/the cook, & then return w/your food on a special tray that would be hooked onto your car door @ your driver's side & sometimes passenger side open window. You'd have to make sure your window was completely open. It was for the convenience of eating in your car. Back in the day, the Drive-Ins were hang outs/meet up spots for driving teens. I went to an old fashioned Drive-In w/my family when I was a kid. To let u know, there are Drive-In movies too. When I was a kid, my family would go watch movies from our car because it was cheaper & u could see a Double Feature. They'd have these metal speaker boxes that u could hook onto your window in order to listen to your film. The sound quality wasn't that great & you'd have to crank the volume all the way up to hear it.😄 There are a few Drive-In movies still around. Now, u can hear the movie thru your car radio.😊 Anyway, that was all I wanted to say, & give u a bit of American Drive-In history.😊
Thanks for sharing this interesting history about Drive-Ins! and Thanks for watching
Not “styled after” an old drive in. It was a drive in from the day it opened inn 1948.
@@scottsoloway I didn't want to say straight out that it was a drive-in in case it was refurbished to look like one, & if it was just a diner originally. Thanks for letting me know it was an actual drive-in.
It was not unusual for the Car Hops to be on roller skates. There was a Drive-in near my cousin's home; when I was very, very, very young.
My sister used to bring me here when I was a kid in the 70s. I moved away in 85. I think that's the last time I had a Superdog but I recognized it instantly. Got to love Chicago.
It's amazing how certain memories can instantly transport us back in time!
Superdawg 😊
The thing is and I am glad you ate the dog as it was served. I love a Chicago dog. I had my first one at the NASCAR track.
That's awesome we would love to visit a NASCAR event! Chicago dogs are delicious.
I am glad to see you are enjoying the food in Chicago. I can't comment on either of the places you tried. When I was growing up in the '70s and '80s, we HAD to stop at a street vendor and get a street dog on almost every trip into the city. I admit they were using brats or beef sausages and not what most people would consider a hot dog, but getting it straight from the cart and then adding the topping you wanted. One of my most adds was sauerkraut.
The Chicago street dog is more famous than the Chicago hotdog and has been used in movies. James Earl Jones had a scene in a movie where he was released from prison, and the first thing he did was get a street dog. "While You Were Sleeping," starring Sandra Bullock. Her character gets a dog from a street vendor several times in the movie.
I haven't had a street dog in Chicago for a couple of decades, so I can't say they are still as good as they used to be, but I do know when we had relatives or friends come and visit, they all wanted to try a street dog, not any hotdog restaurant.
I apologize for the length of my comment.
Thanks for sharing your memories of street dogs in Chicago! It's always fascinating to hear about the food culture from different eras. Thank you for your comment!
Good ole Chi-town. Hope you guys had a great time there. Thanks for another video, guys. 👍👍
It was a blast in Chicago! We would love to head back and spend longer there next time, Thanks for watching!
@@thebritstry 👍👍
That looks so good! Especially the fries, omg. It's great that you're both trying and enjoying food that you didn't like before. It's like "eh, I'm going in!" and you like it! I have to confess I've always been a little afraid of the radioactive green relish in Chicago, but it must be incredible if it's that popular. Honestly, I didn't ever think that you'd do a hot dog segment because I wasn't sure that you eat them in England. You have such incredibly good sausage there. I haven' really eaten hot dogs since I accidentally lost a paycheck in my 20s and had to live off hot dogs for 2 weeks. Maybe it's time to give them another go. Thanks for another great video!
Who knew hot dogs could bring back paycheck memories! It's time to create new, positive hot dog experiences.
Not radioactive, "Neon Green", and oh so good.
you just have to get over the color. The picallili used on Chicago dogs is a sweet relish and is absolutely delicious.
The coolness of the tomato wedge counteracts the heat of the sport peppers. Each bite gives you a taste of every ingredient.
Yes it does! Those hot dogs were really good. Thanks for watching
It’s amazing when you look into it just how many regional variations there are on such a simple meal.
The diversity in regional cuisines is truly fascinating! Thanks for watching
Love this couple!
Thanks you for your very kind words! Thanks for watching
Thanks for visiting my hometown! I hope you both enjoyed your time in Chicago!
❤
Born and raised Souside Chicago, Best city in the world.
Thank you soo Much!!!!! This was so generous and we really appreciate it! Thank you..
The street dogs we got from the street vendors in NYC and Philly we called dirty water dogs. Just look at the water in the steamer at the stand. Yet a dirty water dog with sauerkraut? The best!!!!!
We just tried one in New York, Video to come soon. Thanks for watching
I don’t put ketchup on my hotdogs but I must have mustard
Thanks for sharing your hotdog condiment preference! They were really good
I don't use ketchup on anything. I want to appreciate the actual flavor of my food without drowning it in ketchup. Don't get me wrong, I like tomatoes and tomato sauces, just keep ketchup away from my food!
Reason for No ketchup, the ChicGo Dog already has FRESH Tomatoes.
SuperDawg uses Green tomatoes (also nice).
@jojob4856😂😂😂 based teacher
The Superdawgs looked amazing - especially the grilled one!! I've never had a Chicago style dog but I know it's supposed to be a poppyseed bun and it has the tomato, onions, pickle, the neon green relish and sport peppers as they're called. The relish is so funky colored but that's traditional. Looking forward to the next video guys!
It was so good! We would definitely have that again! Thank you for watching
And don’t forget the celery salt !!!
Most of Chicagoland uses Vienna hot dogs. They come in regular or jumbo size. Superdawg makes their own which is bigger than Vienna's jumbo. Hence the name, Superdawg!
Thanks for the information! Next time hopefully we can spend more time in Chicago.
I love how polite you are with your ordering! Lol and now I know how I sound when I do too 😂
Thank you! It's all about spreading positivity and good vibes!
@@thebritstry absolutely! Haha I've had several waitresses and drive thru order takers ask why I was so polite and friendly when I ordered. My response is always some form of the following: You're going to bring me food that I didn't have to buy the ingredients, prep them, or cook them. And even better? I don't have to do the dishes! Why wouldn't I be pleasant towards you?! Heck, I don't Even have to bring my plates to the sink!
Going to Chicago and not going to portillos is mind boggling. Even more surprising is that i read several (but not all) comments and nobody even mentioned them
Portillos fell off when they sold out.
@@SeeFduBBayou yeah, but it's still an institution. And still pretty good
In Chicago, there are much better places to eat than Portillo's. Outside of Chicago, it's the place to go to for Chicago food.
@@HopeStreetWoodworks I didn't say it was the best but Portillo's is synonymous with Chicago. That's all I was saying.
Portillo's was never all that and has been no good at all (cold fries, inferior Italian beef) since it was sold 10 years ago. How have you not noticed this?
There. We've mentioned Portillo's 🪦 happy now?
The green tomato thing is a Pickled Tomatillo. Superdawgs unique twist on the traditional Chicago dog. Delicious in its own way!
WOW!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! That is so generous.....
@@thebritstry you are welcome. Chicagoan fan here, I love you guys and all your vlogs/videos. I'm so glad you got to visit our beautiful city, with some of the best food in the country. Much love!
❤❤
Keep up the good work!! Love the way y'all love food. ❤
Thank you so much 🤗
Same here 🤗🤗
I used to go through Chicago once a week, always got a Chicago dog at Vienna beef cafe, very tasty 👌
So good! we are so jealous, Thanks for watching
My 2 favorite people.
Thanks for making our day with your comment!
THAT LAST ONE LOOKED NEXT LEVEL!!!!
It was a showstopper! absolutely delicious.
Nicola's laugh is money!
The only dog better than a Chicago dog, is a Sonoran dog in Tucson. Grew up just 3 miles from Chicago’s famous Super Dawg and now live in Tucson. Ketchup on a dog is “illegal” in Chicago. Your Whoopskidawg is not a hot dog. It’s a Polish sausage. Chicago has the largest Polish population outside of Warsaw.
Thanks for sharing the advice! We will need to try a sonoran dog in the future.
I love listening to you speak. Nicola you were so polite ordering that hotdog.😊
I prefer my hotdogs grilled so my favorite would be the Woopzdog also the veggie seem to be cut smaller and less overwhelming than the other hotdogs.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Don't forget to hit subscribe if you love their content to.
Thank you so much!! it really does help us if you do!! subscribe!!!
Thank y’all for all the fantastic videos! I love to watch them! I really want to try Chicago Dogs one day! Living vicariously through you! ❤️🙃😊😛
We are so glad you enjoy the videos! Chicago Dogs are a must-try for sure! Thanks for watching and your kind words.
You have to have the Chicago Dog with a Vienna Beef Hot Dog!!!
We appreciate the suggestion, we'll definitely try it out!
Thamk you for coming to Chicago!
It was so much fun in Chicago! we just didn't have enough time on this short trip to see more. But we will be back in the future!!!!
I live in chicago and I don't care what anyone says, I take the pickle off and eat it separately lol
It's all about enjoying your food the way you like it! Thanks for watching
@@thebritstry 🍻🍻
This is one of the first things I ate upon arriving in Chicago, and I instantly fell in love. I could live on these.
I totally agree! Thanks for watching
Enjoy but stay safe♥️
Thank you for watching!
Superdawg wasn't an old gas station, it's based on the older concept from the the 40s/50s drive-ins. If you've ever seen a movie where the girl and guy servers would come to the car with a tray on roller skates, that's what this concept came from.
I prefer New York dogs with Sabrett Onions in Sauce , mustard, Sauerkraut, and Long Hots.
We may have a video featuring one of those coming soon😉
your sarcasm is delicious!
I grew in Chicago. My Dad used to park his semi-truck across the street from Superdawg. When he was fixing something on his truck, he'd ask me to go across the street to get some food, I remember thinking it was weird having the fries and the hot dog in a box together. Never thought the place would become famous. lol
lol! It is amazing how places change. 😀
I wish I were there with yas. I love Chicago! Enjoy yourselves :)
Chicago was so much fun! we would have loved to have spent more time there. Next time we will stay for longer. Thanks for watching
Great to see you guys in Chicago. Hope you are enjoying the sights.
We had a great time! but not enough time so we will definitely head back again in the future! Thanks for watching
Dill pickle spears are delicious. If you ever buy them in the store make sure you get them in the refrigerator section because the ones that are refrigerated are far better than the ones that are not refrigerated
Thanks for the pro tip!
I grew up in the neighborhood near Superdog and agree with you how good it is. Thank you for another great review.
Superdawg was so good! Thank you for watching
OMG....so American! Chili and cheese is my favorite. Never knew we had hot dogs and you had fish and chips during WW2.
hotdogs were popular since the late 1800s. they were acutally called frankfurthers until ww1 when it changed due to anti german sentiments.
It's amazing how food can be so closely tied to history!
Thanks for the info
@@thebritstry History and food is amazing until you get to Spam from WW2. I like it yet others loathe it with a passion. Go to Hawaii and you can't escape it.
I’m so happy to see you guys enjoy eating and trying foods ❤️ brings a big smile to my face
Your support means the world to us, thank you for tuning in and sharing your thoughts! Thanks for watching
You need to come to Detroit
Watch this space😉
Please do 👏❤🤗
Glad you found Superdawg, which is amazing. The restaurant is a traditional drive-in restaurant where you order from your car and the car hops bring out your food. I love the place.
You weren’t too far from Paradise Pup, which is also very good.
Superdawg was delicious! Thank you for the recommendation! we'll have to check out Paradise Pup next time I'm in the area.
Portillios
Thanks for the advice, we would definitely head there next time!
Tourist dogs
Living in Nairobi now but I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to watch you enjoy the classic foods of my sweet hometown Chicago.
It's amazing how food can connect us across the globe! Thanks for watching
Being a Michigan transplant in the Chicagoland area, I can’t do the salad on my hot dog and for heaven’s sake, why the seeds on the bun? 😣 Give me a Michigan dog, all the way with mustard, onion and bean-less chili.
Thanks for sharing your preference! We will need to try Michigan dogs in the future.
As a fellow Michigander I totally agree; give me a coney dog any day of the week 👍 Also, Detroit Style pizza is the phenomenal too.
I agree Michigan hot dogs are better. If I wanted a salad I'd order a salad.
Try being a born Chicagoan and wanting your hot dogs....are you ready for this... PLAIN. And if my dog is on the grill. with ketchup.
Lafayette all the way 👍🏼
BOO, you didn't even try the pepper!
We did!! Andrew took a big bite but his facial expressions would have scared you. Lol so we had to cut it out.
I couldn't eat the pepper either. My stomach would have a fit!
The correct way to order is "sweet and Juicy" for dipped w/sweet peppers or "Beef w/hot" is not dipped and hot & sweet peppers. Also try a Combo, Same sandwich, same as above but 1/2 beef and an Italian Sausage.
I got hooked on kosher Chicago-style hotdogs decades ago. There was a hotdog vendor who frequented a park at a nearby lake (in central Washington), and he prided himself on his craft. It was always a treat.
I'm grateful for the memories that food can create. It's amazing how a simple hotdog can hold such nostalgic value.
Nicola, come to Alabama for Fried Green Tomatoes! We will win you over! One of my favorite sandwiches to make and eat is a Bacon, Lettuce, tomato (fried green tomato), and pimento cheese sandwich, the bread has to be toasted, the pimento cheese homemade and the mayonnaise has to be Duke's! Yes 😂❤
That sounds absolutely delicious! We might just have to take you up on that offer!
Chicago-style sweet pickle relish is bright green because it used to be made with a bit of mint back in the day. Nowadays the color mainly distinguishes it from dill pickle relish, which is not as sweet.
Thanks for sharing that interesting tidbit about the history of sweet pickle relish! We didn't know that! Thanks for watching
There are a lot of good hot dog restaurants in Chicago, but Superdawg is a great restaurant. Glad you two went threre.
We agree! it was really good. Thank you for watching
Chicago takes its hot dogs very seriously. For a food that is usually just dismissed as kid or comfort food, Chicago strives to make the hot dog an actual adult meal.
Before they passed, you could see Maurie and Florie Berman hanging out at the Superdawg locations (using doing the accounts- Maurie was an accountant by trade). They actually autographed a shirt for me. :) And the Whoopskidawg is their take on the Polish sausage/ kielbasa sandwiches a lot of places offer at hot dog joints (Like Jim's Original)- but whereas most Polish sausages get served w/ mustard and a generous helping of grilled onions, Superdawg serves theirs w/ barbecue sauce- not necessarily "authentic", but really, really good.
Other good spots to check out are Wolfy's (their char-dogs are amazing), and Gene & Jude's out in River Grove (oh, and that's close to Hala Kahiki, so you can get a gigantic tiki drink adterwards). :)
Thank you for watching! we appreciate your detailed insights on the Chicago hot dog scene. Superdawg really was delicious! It's great to know about the history and the other must-visit spots for next time we visit.
Wow that second dog looks AWESOME!!!!
It was delicious!
The classic Chicago style dog has the same toppings as the devil dog, but we always use a poppyseed bun. When you order a dog in an old-school Chicago spot they usually wrap up the fries and dog together in the paper
That's such a unique tradition! I love hearing about the little quirks that make different regions special.
@@thebritstryExcept it’s not true. The dragged through a garden dog you tried should not be wrapped with fries. The Chicago depression dog, as exemplified by Gene and Jude’s and Jimmy’s Red Hots is the type with fries on top of the dog. Using a smaller 8 per pound sausage on a plain bun, the standard condiments are just mustard, onion and sports peppers.
Are you two excited to be in Chicago. I kind of believe that. Hahahahaaaa! Nice to have you here. It is the U.S. MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY!
We had a great time in Chicago and can't wait to visit again for longer in the future!! Thanks for watching
The story you're telling about Chicago hot dogs is about the original Chicago hot dog: depression dogs. They're different. 35th St red hots and Gene & Jude's do depression dogs.
Hotdogs & sausages are two separate things in America.
The next time you come to America, try sausage & peppers
on roll. It's so great
Thanks for the suggestion! where would you recommend we get them from?
I usually eat my pickle on the side.
That's a great suggestion!
That snap is from a natural casing dog.
Vienna is the best.
Love natural casing dogs! They are kind of hard to locate here in Virginia
Jean and Jude, Maxwell Street
I’m a native of West Michigan and, while I didn’t live in Chicago, I was about 2 hours away from the city and spent a lot of time there. I’ve since moved to New England-Boston, to be exact-but I have been very homesick for the Midwest lately, and especially Chicago. I miss Chicago style and Detroit style pizzas especially-the thin, Neapolitan style of the East Coast is fine but deep dish is the best to me. I’m sure if you’re in Chicago there’s a pizza episode coming up, and I’m looking forward to it! Definitely bring your appetites when you try deep dish; I can only eat a piece at a time, maybe two if I’m extremely hungry!
Edit: If you ask people for recommendations you’re going to get some strong opinions in the comments for sure-some Chicagoans feel very strongly about their pizza faves. The last time I was there was for a concert and I ordered from a place near my Airbnb called The Art of Pizza which I really enjoyed. I also like Lou Malnati’s and Gino’s East-those are just two of the more well-known spots. I don’t think I ever had pizza in Chicago that I didn’t like though for me it’s about the crust and there are some that I think are better than others 😊 Have fun!
Thank you for sharing your pizza recommendations and your nostalgia for Chicago. We did check out Chicago and Detroit pizza, the videos will follow soon.
Excellent review… 👍🤗
Thank you 🤗
Also for a authentic true Chicago creation and staple of childhood is a Pizza Puff, hunt down a real "Iltaco Pizza Puff" for some classic Chicago nostalgia. prob can be found at most mom and pop burger and hot dog joints.
Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely try to find an Iltaco Pizza Puff next time I'm in Chicago.
I’m really enjoying the comparison of foods. ❤❤❤
That's awesome to hear! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Let us know if there is anything else we should try?
Welcome to our city Chicago! I loved your video!!
Thank you for the warm welcome and Thanks for watching
You really missed out on not eating the pickled green tomatoes. Fix them yearly and they are delicious. 🍀
Blessings,
Teresa 🦉
The snap is KEY! Best dogs ever. Ketchup is for small children only. I am not a native, but I love Superdawg!
Thanks for sharing your love for Superdawg and the hot dog snap! It was really good.
I love me a Chicago Dog. Now that Portilos are out around the country, I don't have to rely on the hot dog place in Home Depot anymore. Super Dawgs are good too. But I think you need poppy seed buns for a correct dog.
The absolute best hot dog I've ever had in Chicago was outside the Shedd Aquarium from a vendor with a cart. It was very basic. Only had it with mustard and nothing else on it. It was steamed to perfection on a soft bun with just a light smear of mustard. Delicious!
That sounds amazing! Sometimes simplicity is key when it comes to great food. Thanks for sharing
Nicola and Andrew the philosophy of hot dogs is two or more is preferable. 💪🔥🤟🇺🇸
Thanks for the advice! and thanks for watching
Whoopski Dog is a Polish Sausage. little mustard and a little onion. Delicious.
the pickled green tomato is just a special bonus side item, unique to Superdawg, something a little bright and acidic after the heavy sausages.
Glad you stopped by.
Welcome to Chicago!! I hope you're also enjoying the museums and Navy Pier.
I live near Chicago but never had a Chicago hot dog until about a year ago (I'm in my 60's) because it just didn't seem like that big a deal, but they are delicious!!
Have a great stay in the U.S. Travel safe and have lots of fun! ❤
Chicago was so much fun! we would have loved to have spent more time there. Next time we will stay for longer. Thanks for watching
I was waiting for you try the the pickled green tomato! I really hope that you did, it's such a unique taste - so delicious 👍
It's so good!
My mom was from Bedford England and i visited and i LOVED FISH AND CHIPS!
Thank you for sharing your connection to Bedford and your love for fish and chips. We have not had good fish and chips for a while. Thank you for watching
I just watched your video from Mr. Beef and I cannot agree more that the dipped beef is the best. Chicago dogs I change the sweet relish for dill and get extra celery salt on them. So good!
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts! It means a lot.
The best Chicago style dog is at Gene and Judes on River Rd. In River Grove just south of O'Hare international Airport. The Chicago style dog comes complete with fresh French fries on top and puts all those other dogs to shame. Just don't ask them for any ketchup as they will tell you you can get that down the street at McDonald's, LOL! Gene and Jude's have been around since 1943 and I've been going there since 1978. Simply irresistible!
Wow, sounds like Gene and Jude's is the real deal! Thanks for the tip, we'll make sure to visit next time we visit Chicago.
A great number of cheap but large sandwiches and other food were created or became popular during the Depression to satisfy hunger for cheap. Hamburger variations in Oklahoma, Hawaii and Mississippi. Po Boys down south as well as Biscuits and Gravy, the Snicker Bar, Chicken and Dumplings, Spam......the list goes on and on.
Thanks for sharing this information! The history of food can be so interesting
The 'green tomatoes' are probably tomatillos. They are juicier than green tomatoes, and have a great tart flavor almost like citrus. I could be wrong, but I have never seen green tomatoes served as a wedge.
They're picked green tomatoes

Love a good Chicago dog. Born and raised in Chicagoland. Poppyseed bun, celery salt, sport peppers, dill pickle, neon green relish, tomatoes, onions, mustard and of course the hotdog. Perfection. Now go try the Italian beef!
Thanks for sharing your love for Chicago dogs! They are truly a classic. We did try Italian beef, here is the video ruclips.net/video/DgQD0Ng1Wqs/видео.html
My Chicago hot dog = poppyseed bun, hot dog, mustard, sweet relish, cucumbers, tomatoes, celery salt. 💜💜💜
Sounds like a delicious Chicago hot dog! Thank you for watching
