"What To Get: The Flubby (make sure to ask for it char-grilled), The Mr. Big (polish sausage with grilled onions), a chili dog (for when you want to channel your inner Sonic the Hedgehog). What To Know: This family-owned subterranean stand in Lakeview East has daily specials and great milkshakes, along with 13 hot dogs to choose from (including a vegan option)." - adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen, veda kilaru
"Flub A Dub Chub’s didn’t exist before 2008, but somehow this family-owned subterranean hot dog stand feels like it’s been around for decades. Checkered tile and diner stools are complemented by incredibly warm service and daily specials that laugh in the face of inflation, like $5 bratwursts, or a “Flubby” (a picture-perfect Chicago dog) and fries for $7. Ask for it char-grilled, or get the Mr. Big polish—it has just the right amount of snap and a hint of spice that pairs well with the sweet grilled onions. And for more than just beef, there are vegan options, milkshakes, and wall-to-wall customer drawings of hot dogs to admire." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru

Checkered tile and diner stools are complemented by incredibly warm service and daily specials that laugh in the face of inflation, like $6 fried chicken sandwiches on Mondays and $5 bratwursts on Thursdays. But the best deal is on Tuesday when you can get a plump and juicy “Flubby” (a picture-perfect Chicago dog loaded with relish and onions) and fries for just $7." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
"This delightful dog slinger is partially hidden in a basement along Broadway in Lakeview, so keep an eye out. The pulled pork chub dog is a fan favorite, and so is the quarter-pound “Chubby.”" - Ashok Selvam

There’s also a corn dog that would make any state fair jealous, and a delicious chili dog for when you want to cosplay as Sonic the Hedgehog.
