I'm sure there's some joke that begins with "This New York food-snob walks into a Chicago Hotdog place...."
Well, NY & Chicago have two well-known food battles: NY Pizza vs. Chicago Pizza & New York Hotdogs vs. Chicago Hotdogs. You know what? Who cares which one is better, it's the most delicious food battles ever! While I haven't found any good places for NY style hotdogs, this place makes GREAT Chicago style hotdogs.
I'm so happy this place is right down the street from me. The second I walked in and the smell hit me, my stomach started smiling. I was intimidated by the menu because there are so many things I want to try. My good buddy from Chicago came with me and said it's the closest he's had to real Chicago style food he's found in Las Vegas.
I ordered the Chicago Style hotdog and the Maxwell Polish Sausage(Spicy). The lady behind the counter asked if I wanted fries, I declined, but she threw some in for me anyway. Damn her! I'm trying to watch my weight lol. Needless to say, everything was awesome!
The hotdog had snap, great flavor and the polish sausage was grilled with a nice amount of char on it and was just awesome. Fries were great too.
I allow myself one day a week to eat unhealthy food and Windy City will probably be seeing me for the next two or three weeks. I want to try the Pizza Bites, Tamales, Thin-crust Pizza and Stuffed Crust Pizza. They have Cheli's Chili. I'm a huge Hockey fan and that's Chris Chelios' Chili company...he was a defenseman for the Chicago Blackhawks for those not familiar. I can't wait to try it all!
