Share All sharing options for: The 20 Essential Hot Dogs in Chicago

Chicago, the sausage capital of America, keeps on offering a smattering of wonderful new spots serving traditional Chicago-style hot dogs dragged through the garden, as well as gourmet spots with inventive toppings. As always, the ketchup is only for the fries and young children who don’t know better.

For the 2020 edition, Hot “G” Dogs, Allium, Devil Dawgs, and Downtown Dogs were removed due to make room for new wieners. Welcome Fat Johnnie’s, Lulu’s Hot Dogs, Flub A Dub Chub’s, and the Vienna Beef Factory Store on Morgan Street.
