I've had hot dogs from places all across the country, and no city's hot dogs beat Chicago.
I've had hot dogs from places all over Chicago, and nobody ... nobody ... beats the taste, texture, aroma and appeal of a Gately Dog.
I am not a big fan of the red hots taste and that thick skin. too me that is not a hot dog. that's a gag reflex waiting to happen. I like a good all beef boiled (Oscar meyerish) hahaha dog.
basically a small bologna sammich(hot dog).
when my kids were playing football, bb, bball in grammar school, me and buddy of mine used to do just this. have a taste test for each school visited. gotta say st syms(62nd and austinish), they always hadda nice spread. boiled dogs, mustard, relish, sport peppers, season salt, steamed buns. nice.
actually tested allot like jr's(juniors)...hmmm.
but, I gotta tellya the best dogs/beef I tasted were at olor boxing show last sat nite. boiled all beef dogs w/jalpenos and peppajack cheese bits inside. ooohman that's good. beef sammich was juicy, spread a lil mozzarella on the top, some hot peppers or sweet, and the buns slightly toasted but soggy from the juice.
damn good stuff..
was great fun nite for the kids boxing, we put on a boxing show for
k - 6graders. the little ones look like little rockem sockem robots.
