They know how to make a true chicago dog, but the actual execution is less than great. My trip to this joint was mixed at best. I ordered a chicago dog with chips. The first thing I noticed was the inordinate amount of condiments. The just put too many on the dog. The dog was quality meat and just barely warm enough. The big mistake was the bun. It is a correct poppy seed bun, but very dry and falls apart when you eat the dog. It might not have been steamed properly. The chips were crunchy and well seasoned. The bottom line is that Portillos makes a better chicago dog every visit. In fact there is a hot dog guy at the home depot parking lot at 67th and bell that makes a better dog. Go there for half the price.
