When I lived in Chicago I tried, in one summer, to hit all the best known dog joints. It was heavenly - Wolfy's, Superdawg, Mustard's Last Stand, Bill's Drive In, Hot Doug's, Gold Coast Dogs...Oh, I could go on and on. <br /><br />Now I'm hungry...and I think a hot dog is in my near future.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00706188991600671278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298701075110623658.post-56663380655197654892010-02-04T11:42:04.378-07:002010-02-04T11:42:04.378-07:00okay you've gotta love a guy who puts all the ...okay you've gotta love a guy who puts all the correct condiments on his dog. Seriously, there are times I crave just the goopy stuff and would eat it on a tube of cardboard if given the option. Unless some FOOL adds ketchup. (shudder)<br />I have to claim West Coast ignorance and new enlightenment, though, at the celery salt. Thanks, TKW dad for the permission to use any brand. If I ever come across this interesting specimen of midwestern spice I will think of you.<br />btw, LOVE the salad choices. Iceberg or jello. Hilarious and true. If nothing else, the Depression taught a generation or two of parents how to make some foods seriously high in the salt, sugar, and filler food groups.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298701075110623658.post-90504847818709701172010-02-04T10:59:04.089-07:002010-02-04T10:59:04.089-07:00you have SUCH a cool dad!! growing up in chicago,...you have SUCH a cool dad!! growing up in chicago, i know a thing or two about good hot dogs! :)my spatulahttp://kissmyspatula.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298701075110623658.post-74750180198007553222010-02-04T10:07:29.534-07:002010-02-04T10:07:29.534-07:00TKW-I had no idea your Daddy was from Chicago!

He is so correct on that opening day fact. Nothing better. Wrigley Field and hotdog. I'm with Gibby on adding the cold beer to the mix also. I especially loved that he, of course, did not put disgusting ketchup on a hot dog.

And a smart ass. And clearly, a great All-American Chef. What could be better?
