"A relentless late-night workhorse open until 1 a.m., this standing-counter joint offers a brisk, no-nonsense version of a Chicago dog—typically a depression-style “everything” with yellow mustard, onions, relish, and large sport peppers (which can read like serranos). The stand enforces a strict no-ketchup policy (you can’t even get packets), but its homemade smoky-sweet hot sauce laced with habaneros is a standout accompaniment for fries; expect efficiency, steady turnover, and authentic Chicago grit." - ByDennis Lee
