CHICAGO — Hot dog!

Two of Chicago's iconic hot dog joints have made Esquire magazine's short list in a contest to find the "most life-changing hot dog" in America.

Esquire is polling the country to find out who makes the best dog around, and of the 10 restaurants voters can choose from, two should be familiar to Chicagoans: Hot Doug's, 3324 North California Ave., and Superdawg, 6363 North Milwaukee Ave.

Voters can rep their hometown favorites by voting on Esquire's website or posting on Facebook or Twitter with the hashtag #MostLifeChangingHotDog.
