Chicago-Style Hot Dog
Chicago-Style Hot Dog
A Vienna Sausage all-beef dog is the starring ingredient in a Chicago-style pup. (Yes, you can use another brand but then it will be a Sort-of-Chicago-style hot dog.) We've kept the fixings unmeasured: Because Chicagoans consider it a work of art, a Chicago dog should reflect the personality of its creator.This recipe was originally published in the Chicago Tribune.
