Hi
I visited Chicago this past weekend...born and raised there ... went
to elemetary school, HS, and DePaul uptown for undergrad
work...visited some old haunts..stuff is still there
Riggio's on Oakton and Milwaukee, Bob-O's on Irving Park near
Cumberland..Pickwick Theatre in downtown Park Ridge.
Tasty Pup on Milwaukee is gone (an old girl friends brother used to
run it)

What I miss the most Chicago Hot Dogs...I try to mimic them here in
Iowa and no luck.

So where do I purchase

1) Vienna Red Hots
2) buns with poppy seeds
3) that very bright green pickle relish
4) those thin short olive green hot peppers


None of the grocers out here have this stuff.

Hehe, for great tube steak in Iowa I think

I know what you mean. I'm not even from Chicago (visited once) and I
love Chicago Hot Dogs. Now that I've tried them, I won't eat any
other kind. We have one place here in the SFBA that does them, but
it's a drive. I'd love to find a supplier. I think I can get the
Vienna Red Hots from a wholesaler, but the rest would be harder. I
would think you'd have no problem, having friends in Chicago. Just
have them ship you a CARE package.

....better idea!.... open up your own place!

Well, the porblem is, even in Chicago grocery stores, I couldn't find
the ingredients!! Am I looking in the wrong places maybe?

...better idea!.... open up your own place!

I'd eat myself out of business..but an interesting idea

I've flirted with the idea, myself. I see CHD joints in the darndest
places. There's a second one here in the SFBA that made a go of it,
but lost it's lease. He's currently trying to find another local. I
also ran across one in Manitou Springs in CO. There's a local chain
here that does a pale imitation of CHD, but wrong meat, relish, and no
chili. Still, they've been around for decades.

might look around on the food TV site..I seem to recall a show about
them.may have been that mark silverstein show (forget the name) or food
finds

I went to Super Dog on Milwaukee, but it didn't taste the same. I bought one
of their monogrammed hats.

There used to be a ?Tasty Dog? on Milwaukee near Bryn Mawr.

My Bro In Law used to work at Gladstone Bakery on Milwaukee Ave. I asked
them for some Gladstone Bakery labels, and they gave me some.

But---dogs-----just gotta have ***steamed*** hot dog buns, nice and
soft---and celery salt------

I'm from NY State, but have lived here the last 40 years.

Even my visiting NYS relatives rave about the dogs here.

"Them" are ***really**** good dogs here!!!! Even my visiting relatives rave
about the dogs here.

Now you did it!!!--- I just saw a new place on Elmhurst Rd just north of
Algonquin Rd (about 5 miles west from the Pickwick) that said "Chicago Style
Dogs"

Tomorrow I know where I'm goona be!!!!

Now ya did it!!!!!!! grin drool not sure whether to thank you or
curse you 'cause now I'm drooling---really!

Best---
Ron

If you say where "out here" is, maybe someone knows a local
source. If you already said it and I missed it, my apologies.

Jewel and Dominicks carry everything you need. Costco also has the
Vienna dogs and Rosen's buns for about half the price that the other
two rip you off for. Out in the burbs quite a few smaller store carry
them too. Springbrook, Capouto's and Eurofresh come to mind. Vienna
has their own pickles and relish. Jewel labels their own relish and
also carries Hieinz I think. Jewel has a relish that has mustard in
it also. Weird looking, but good. If you do get to Chi-town again
look for Daisy hot dogs. It's hit and miss at any of the mentioned
stores and they're about $7.00 a pound. All beef and much better than
Vienna. I occasionally order them from a meat supplier friend for
about $3.00 a pound. which doesn't hurt so bad. g

peppers are optional.

Very few places in Chicago char broil hot dogs. That sounds like
backyard grilling to me. I've lived here for 45 years and never seen
grilled onions on a dog. Some places put shredded lettuce on them
also. Your recipe sounds quite tasty, but it's not what is thought of
traditionally as Chicago style.
