Chicago, the sausage capital of America, keeps on offering a smattering of wonderful new spots serving traditional Chicago-style hot dogs dragged through the garden, as well as gourmet spots with inventive toppings. As always, the ketchup is only for the fries and young children who don’t know better.
For the 2019 edition, Old Town Social was removed due to shutter and Duk’s, Portillo’s, Jim’s Original, and Fat Johnnie’s make room for new wieners. The encased meat additions include Lola’s Coney Island, Maxwell Street Depot, and Morrie O’Malley’s.
