Where to Eat Hot Dogs in Chicago
"An overlooked Chicago dog variant is the Francheezie, a hot dog stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon. It’s mostly served at diners rather than hot dog stands, and it’s deep-fried. So clear it with your cardiologist before sampling, though your doctor will just ask you to avoid all hot dogs. It’s OK, you don’t have to eat the fries. The Bagel, a popular Jewish deli in Lakeview, doesn’t mess with tradition and still serves the item, which was probably most popular in the ‘60s." - Ashok Selvam
