There’s no better way to do Chicago than munching on a hot dog! Here are some of the best hot dog places to check out in Windy City.
Superdawg has been around since 1948 and was founded by couple Maurie and Florence. To this day it is family owned and operated in the same location that it started at the corner of Milwaukee, Devon and Nagle. From their fun exterior design to their own secret recipe, they definitely have stuck out compared to other popular hot dog stands at the time. The most fun part about this eatery is that customers can order from their own car and have a carhop deliver their order on a tray. - And if you’re wondering, their classic Superdawg features on a poppy seed bun, a juicy beef hot dog, mustard, tangy piccalilli, kosher dill pickle, chopped onions, a hot pepper, and is accompanied by fries.
Devil Dawgs first began in Lincoln Park in 2010 with their mission to bring back the great Chicago-style hot dog and fries to the neighborhood. Their modern menu approach offers a classic Chicago-style hot dog, vegan options, spicy sausages, polish sausage, hand cute fires, and homemade milkshakes. Their steak slider that features peanut butter and siracha even won one of Chicago’s greatest late-night snacks. On their menu, you’ll find a Devil Dawg which is a 1/4 lb hand-crafted grilled sausage, and can get it topped with devil sauce, onion, sauerkraut, pickle, and spicy mustard.
The Duck Inn is a neighborhood gastro-tavern and dining room that offers some of the tastiest food in a pre-Prohibition era tavern. Their retro design will make you fall in love, but so will their Sunday brunch and their Sunday special deals for their industry and artist friends which features 50% off about everything to those in that field. Most importantly, let’s not fail to share their famous Duck Inn Dog that was named Top Dog by Food Network and Best Hot Dogs in Chicago by Food & Wine magazine. This dish features all-natural beef and duck fat in a hog casing and grilled to perfection, and topped with mustard, relish, pickled hot peppers, a pickle, tomatoes, onions and celery salt, all nestled in a brioche poppy seed bun.
