I'm a sucker for any kind of hot dog…pinned!
Oh my goodness. Perfect for a summer barbeque. I'm gonna have to pick up some big dill pickles and try these out!
Confession …. I have never had a Chicago Dog – BUT, it's on my foodie bucket list!! I guess I have no excuse not to make them now that you've shared how to make 'em!! š
I've never seen a Chicago dog before – looks awesome. Cheers from Carole's CHatter
Hi! I've lived in Chicago my whole life and have eaten more than my fair share of these beauties! First of all, thank you for NOT putting ketchup on them. That stuff belongs on the fries, never a hot dog! And the sport peppers are an iffy thing. Some places offer them but they're not necessarily a 'usual' ingredient on a Chicago hot dog.
Thank you so much for your comment:) Not to worry, I would never destroy one of these babies with ketchup. And I have indeed heard that the peppers are not always a necessity but when I learned they were an approve option, they became a necessity to me;)) Hugs
