"I've noticed the San Fernando Valley location of Gino’s East has become a haven for Chicago-loving food fans drawn to staples like deep-dish pizza, tavern-style pies, and Italian beef sandwiches. For this long Memorial Day weekend only the Sherman Oaks restaurant is briefly getting into the hot dog game with its classic Chicago hot dog, and the ownership group insists on doing it the right way — a poppy seed bun, Vienna all-beef dogs, and the usual assortment of vegetable toppings like sport peppers, bright-green relish, a pickle spear, and chopped onions, plus celery salt. The dogs are available only that long weekend, priced at $5.95 individually or $10.95 as a combo with fries and a drink." - Farley Elliott
