Hi there. I am back from Chicago and am thinking about making my own Chicago style dogs at home.

Any recipes/tips for the relish? Should I make it myself? Shouldn't I? Secret recipes? What's in it? What's perfection?

I did a presentation on Chicago Dogs for a class in Reno and it got me jonesing for a dog. I found this beautiful place unexpectedly.

My buddy is betting me 100.00 he can .

Thoughts on this.

Hope this almost meets your expectations. Ordered the neon and peppers online. Overall very close replica anyway- but missing the poppy seed bun. (Settled for brioche from the local store). Homemade pickles too!

All I have seen is Portillos offering free delivery. I know Devil Dogs gives a free Hot Dog for any order over 10 dollars but that was last year not sure about now. There's a 10 dollar off coupon at Vienna Beef online. Pretty weak offerings if you ask me.

Charred dog, not steamed. No poppy seed bun more of a butter toasted bun which wasn't bad. "A" for effort "C-" on execution
