America was introduced to the hot dog back in 1983 1893 at the Chicago World’s Fair.
While the hot dog has gone on to be an American favorite consumed all over the country, the proud city of Chicago has not forgotten the roots of the auspicious dog. In fact, Chicago continues to be the hot dog center of America, consistently and proudly producing some of the country’s greatest wieners.
But which are the best? Which hot dog stand pumps out the very finest, finger lickin’, mouth watering, wieners?
Narrowing down the best hot dog in Chicago is most certainly a sacrilegious undertaking at best. To say one dog is better than another could in fact constitute blasphemy in some circles–that’s how seriously they take their dogs in the Windy City.
Nonetheless, Travel & Leisure decided to brave the waters and pick the very best dogs the city has to offer.
So, if you’re heading off to this fine city any time soon, print out the list and try some of the dogs yourself. If, on the other hand, you happen to live in Chicago, you might want to tear up the list; you no doubt have your favorites already.
