As picture pretty a Chicago dog as I found this trip.  No poppyseeds on the bun, but a bit of design instead.  Very good dog too.

That's Doug over the grill.  He's a culinary school grad who saw the light and went into the hot dog business.  Scarily friendly.  Perhaps a tad whacko.  All good traits.

I was a day early.  Friday and Saturday Doug fries french fries in rendered duck fat.  One more reason to get back and eat some more of chicago.
