"A family-owned operation founded in 1975 by the son of Greek immigrants, known for outrageously loaded dogs that verge on a salad—expect mustard, onions, relish, tomato slices, cucumber, lettuce, a pickle spear, bell pepper, sport peppers, and celery salt. Because the standard portion can overwhelm the bun and beef, ordering a jumbo frank balances the prodigious amount of produce with the meat, making for an over-the-top but beloved Chicago experience; only two stands remain, and they’re treasured by locals." - ByDennis Lee
