My darling hubby and I were right in the middle of our Great British Baking Show binge, when he suddenly announced that his favorite hot dog on Earth was a Chicago dog! This was truly apropos of nothing, at the moment, because the bakers were in the middle of their show-stopper round of some sort of ice cream, jam, and pâte à choux roll thingie, but I paused the TV to hear him out because I love the man, and I got immediately intrigued! Sports peppers? Are they like pickles? Oh, no, said he! They're their own thing! I then took to Amazon, and, the next day, the peppers arrived! We decided to make our very own official Chicago dogs on the Blackstone at the casa, at some point soon!
Fast forward to three days later, and I can't stop thinking about this thing! It's all so very specific, what with the peppers and the celery salt and all, which makes it extra-interesante! I decided that, in order for us to truly make the best one in history, I definitely needed to try one first. That's how we found ourselves at Wienerschnitzel in the Domain! We went through the drive thru, and it's no surprise that we both got the Chi dog! Oh, I also got 6 mini corn dogs because I have NEVER seen a corn dog that I didn't speedily mainline with loads of mustard! They're my jam in a most obscene way!
Mini Corn Dogs - these were FREAKISHLY delicious! We could have polished off a dozen, if we weren't trying to be "good"!
Chicago Dog - My hubby gave these a BIG thumbs up! I could also see what all of the Chicago dog fuss was about! The freshness of the accoutrement really elevated that humble dog! I'm a fan!
Fries - Yummy! Like Mickey D's, but a bit more interesting! Definitely fresh, salty, and crispy!
Lemonade - Refreshing and sweet! Maybe a tad too sweet for us, but it had a lovely tartness to it, too!
A lot of the reviews of this chain mention "guilty pleasure", and I have to add to that chorus! It was a quick in and a quick out, and, while there are, no doubt, plenty of fancy schmancy artisan Chicago dogs being churned out somewhere in this town (and we'll most happily try them all), we'll definitely be hittin' up the Wienerschnitzel on the regular, from here on out, when we're in the mood for some super-quick, super-cheap and downright tasty dogs!
Thanks, Wienerschnitzel!
