  1. Hi I visited Chicago this past weekend...born and raised there ... went to elemetary school, HS, and
    DePaul uptown for undergrad work...visited some old haunts..stuff is still there Riggio's on Oakton
    and Milwaukee, Bob-O's on Irving Park near Cumberland..Pickwick Theatre in downtown Park Ridge.
    Tasty Pup on Milwaukee is gone (an old girl friends brother used to run it)

    What I miss the most Chicago Hot Dogs...I try to mimic them here in Iowa and no luck.

    So where do I purchase

    1) Vienna Red Hots
    2) buns with poppy seeds
    3) that very bright green pickle relish
    4) those thin short olive green hot peppers

    None of the grocers out here have this stuff.

    I know what you mean. I'm not even from Chicago (visited once) and I love Chicago Hot Dogs. Now that
    I've tried them, I won't eat any other kind. We have one place here in the SFBA that does them, but
    it's a drive. I'd love to find a supplier. I think I can get the Vienna Red Hots from a wholesaler,
    but the rest would be harder. I would think you'd have no problem, having friends in Chicago. Just
    have them ship you a CARE package.

    ...better idea!.... open up your own place!

  5. I went to Super Dog on Milwaukee, but it didn't taste the same. I bought one of their
    monogrammed hats.

    There used to be a ?Tasty Dog? on Milwaukee near Bryn Mawr.

    My Bro In Law used to work at Gladstone Bakery on Milwaukee Ave. I asked them for some Gladstone
    Bakery labels, and they gave me some.

    But---dogs-----just gotta have ***steamed*** hot dog buns, nice and soft---and celery salt------

    I'm from NY State, but have lived here the last 40 years.

    Even my visiting NYS relatives rave about the dogs here.

    "Them" are ***really**** good dogs here!!!! Even my visiting relatives rave about the dogs here.

    Now you did it!!!--- I just saw a new place on Elmhurst Rd just north of Algonquin Rd (about 5 miles
    west from the Pickwick) that said "Chicago Style Dogs"

    Tomorrow I know where I'm goona be!!!!

    Now ya did it!!!!!!! <grin> <drool> not sure whether to thank you or curse you 'cause now I'm
    drooling---really!

    Best--- Ron

    If you say where "out here" is, maybe someone knows a local source. If you already said it and I

    Isn't all of Iowa "out there"?

    I've flirted with the idea, myself. I see CHD joints in the darndest places. There's a second one
    here in the SFBA that made a go of it, but lost it's lease. He's currently trying to find another
    local. I also ran across one in Manitou Springs in CO. There's a local chain here that does a pale
    imitation of CHD, but wrong meat, relish, and no chili. Still, they've been around for decades.

  12. might look around on the food TV site..I seem to recall a show about them.may have been that mark
    silverstein show (forget the name) or food finds

    dogs source: stockyards.comproducts.asp lastly...this might help some..do a
    search on yahoo and see what you can find also

    Jewel and Dominicks carry everything you need. Costco also has the Vienna dogs and Rosen's buns for
    about half the price that the other two rip you off for. Out in the burbs quite a few smaller store
    carry them too. Springbrook, Capouto's and Eurofresh come to mind. Vienna has their own pickles and
    relish. Jewel labels their own relish and also carries Hieinz I think. Jewel has a relish that has
    mustard in it also. Weird looking, but good. If you do get to Chi-town again look for Daisy hot
    dogs. It's hit and miss at any of the mentioned stores and they're about $7.00 a pound. All beef and
    much better than Vienna. I occasionally order them from a meat supplier friend for about $3.00 a
    pound. which doesn't hurt so bad. <g>

    Very few places in Chicago char broil hot dogs. That sounds like backyard grilling to me. I've
    lived here for 45 years and never seen grilled onions on a dog. Some places put shredded lettuce
    on them also. Your recipe sounds quite tasty, but it's not what is thought of traditionally as
    Chicago style.

    ....... sport peppers *optional* ??? Good lord they are mandatory, and if you can't find the
    slender ones you can always use canned habanero strips, which are smaller and easier to tuck away
    in the bun.

  16. Go to this web site for instructions on how to make them. Also it is Piccadilly Relish that makes
    them famous - not just plain old pickle relish. Gosh, I haven't had one since 1961 - time to go back
    to Chicago.

    LOL.. I always ask for extra peppers. At home I eat them out of the jar. Giardineria, usually
    reserved for beef sammiches is also good on dogs for a change of pace.

  19. If I remember correctly, they used the "grilled" onions in great abundance on hot dogs and
    hamburgers in "jew town" before it was upscaled to what it is now. Can't remember what the real name
    of the locale was . Haven't lived in Chicago in quite a while.

    Chicagoans must be stupid. The relish is marked "hot dog relish."
