I gave the Doghouse in Cleveland Heights a 1 star for not having sauted onions for a proper Maxwell St. Polish. In hindsight I appreciate the Doghouses efforts, it's nice to have a Chicago dog around even if it doesn't compare in quality to joints in other places. Using a Vienna beef or a higher quality dog would go a long way.
Avoid the $1 Monday dog special. I ordered two dogs, and one was a really funky greenish color (tossed it in the trash). These $1 dogs are coming from a lower quality stash/different brand then their normal dogs.
