Not exactly downtown, but Fat Johnnie's near 73rd and Western is really good.

Plenty of trashcans around. Hot dogs don't need that many toppings.

Honestly it’s Portillo’s. I know it’s a chain but it’s so good.

I love Portillo’s. Add an Italian beef while you’re at it!

crazy talk.

What? They don’t take off? The 3-4 in PHX area are packed. Also ordering tip…

PhX is the one place they took off because that is where people from Chicago go to retire. And dry is worse than dipped.

Way too much good food in Chicago to waste time with hot dogs that have way too

Relish Chicago Hot Dogs. The Navy Pier location is closed thru May, but I think others are open.
