Hot dogs

There are so many different places in Illinois to get a good-tasting hot dog, it's really tough to name the very best, right?

Chicagoans hate putting ketchup on hot dogs so much they have found a new to humiliate the violators.

If you're looking to try some of the best hot dogs of all time then you definitely have to add these joints to your bucket list.

I love it when the internet makes food declarations as if they're scientific fact even though there are few things in life that are more subjective than food preferences. That being said, it's hard to argue with the "science" that has just named Illinois as having among the top 5 absolute best food items in America.

If you enjoy going to Chicago Cubs games but the trip to Wrigley Field is just too expensive, this freebie can help buffer the sticker shock.

Love cheese curds? Love hot dogs? Do you find yourself wishing there was a place that combined both?

Who said you have to be well-known in order to be called the best?

My parents grew up during the Great Depression, and that fact was made clear in many ways, but most notably in the foods they refused to eat. There weren't any. Period. Full stop

Hungry? Good. I hope you enjoy these things because we eat more of these in Illinois than just about every other state in America.

Any "Best Hot Dog in America" list needs to include at least one place in Illinois.
