Being from Chicago I think I know a thing or two about a Chicago Hot Dog.
Pros: They add some kind of butter or something to the bun that really makes this thing extra tasty. The dog wasn't bad and was pretty close to the real thing.
Cons: This place is just waaaay too expensive and there is absolutely no justification for it whatsoever. They don't have french fries, and everyone knows that in the windy city, your Chicago Dog comes with fries wrapped up with it. I then ordered some tater tats on the side and they were also over priced. I spent close to $20 for a hot dog, drink and tater tats!! I don't know if this is the tourist rate, the Harbor rate or whatever, but there will be no way in hell that I will ever be going there again.
Even in Chicago, a real actual city and not some small hic down with a zip line, they don't even charge that much. If you have a taste for a Chicago Dog and you find yourself in this area you would be better off just going down the street to Sonic where you can get all of the above for just under $6 only difference is that your bun will be missing some butter, but you will be keeping $14 bucks in your pocket. That must be some magical butter NOT!
I am a professional eater and I will spend top dollar on a meal in a heart beat, but I am not down with being price gouged at a hot dog stand. But it's all good, first time shame on you, second time? Well, let's just put it this way, there will be no shame on me. read more
