Hi
I visited Chicago this past weekend...born and raised there ... went
to elemetary school, HS, and DePaul uptown for undergrad
work...visited some old haunts..stuff is still there
Riggio's on Oakton and Milwaukee, Bob-O's on Irving Park near
Cumberland..Pickwick Theatre in downtown Park Ridge.
Tasty Pup on Milwaukee is gone (an old girl friends brother used to
run it)

What I miss the most Chicago Hot Dogs...I try to mimic them here in
Iowa and no luck.

So where do I purchase

1) Vienna Red Hots
2) buns with poppy seeds
3) that very bright green pickle relish
4) those thin short olive green hot peppers


None of the grocers out here have this stuff.

I know what you mean. I'm not even from Chicago (visited once) and I
love Chicago Hot Dogs. Now that I've tried them, I won't eat any
other kind. We have one place here in the SFBA that does them, but
it's a drive. I'd love to find a supplier. I think I can get the
Vienna Red Hots from a wholesaler, but the rest would be harder. I
would think you'd have no problem, having friends in Chicago. Just
have them ship you a CARE package.

....better idea!.... open up your own place!

Well, the porblem is, even in Chicago grocery stores, I couldn't find
the ingredients!! Am I looking in the wrong places maybe?

I've flirted with the idea, myself. I see CHD joints in the darndest
places. There's a second one here in the SFBA that made a go of it,
but lost it's lease. He's currently trying to find another local. I
also ran across one in Manitou Springs in CO. There's a local chain
here that does a pale imitation of CHD, but wrong meat, relish, and no
chili. Still, they've been around for decades.

I went to Super Dog on Milwaukee, but it didn't taste the same. I bought one
of their monogrammed hats.

There used to be a ?Tasty Dog? on Milwaukee near Bryn Mawr.

My Bro In Law used to work at Gladstone Bakery on Milwaukee Ave. I asked
them for some Gladstone Bakery labels, and they gave me some.

But---dogs-----just gotta have ***steamed*** hot dog buns, nice and
soft---and celery salt------

I'm from NY State, but have lived here the last 40 years.

Even my visiting NYS relatives rave about the dogs here.

"Them" are ***really**** good dogs here!!!! Even my visiting relatives rave
about the dogs here.

Now you did it!!!--- I just saw a new place on Elmhurst Rd just north of
Algonquin Rd (about 5 miles west from the Pickwick) that said "Chicago Style
Dogs"

Tomorrow I know where I'm goona be!!!!

Now ya did it!!!!!!! <grin> <drool> not sure whether to thank you or
curse you 'cause now I'm drooling---really!

Best---
Ron

Jewel and Dominicks carry everything you need. Costco also has the
Vienna dogs and Rosen's buns for about half the price that the other
two rip you off for. Out in the burbs quite a few smaller store carry
them too. Springbrook, Capouto's and Eurofresh come to mind. Vienna
has their own pickles and relish. Jewel labels their own relish and
also carries Hieinz I think. Jewel has a relish that has mustard in
it also. Weird looking, but good. If you do get to Chi-town again
look for Daisy hot dogs. It's hit and miss at any of the mentioned
stores and they're about $7.00 a pound. All beef and much better than
Vienna. I occasionally order them from a meat supplier friend for
about $3.00 a pound. which doesn't hurt so bad. <g>

Very few places in Chicago char broil hot dogs. That sounds like
backyard grilling to me. I've lived here for 45 years and never seen
grilled onions on a dog. Some places put shredded lettuce on them
also. Your recipe sounds quite tasty, but it's not what is thought of
traditionally as Chicago style.

sport peppers *optional* ??? Good lord they are
mandatory, and if you can't find the slender ones you
can always use canned habanero strips, which are
smaller and easier to tuck away in the bun.

Go to this web site for instructions on how to make them. Also it is
Piccadilly Relish that makes them famous - not just plain old pickle
relish. Gosh, I haven't had one since 1961 - time to go back to Chicago.

LOL.. I always ask for extra peppers. At home I eat them out of the
jar. Giardineria, usually reserved for beef sammiches is also good on
dogs for a change of pace.

Gar <----likes a hot dog salad on a bun

If I remember correctly, they used the "grilled" onions in great abundance
on hot dogs and hamburgers in "jew town" before it was upscaled to what it
is now. Can't remember what the real name of the locale was . Haven't
lived in Chicago in quite a while.

Can't buy the type of giardineria that chicago uses. I think I remember it
mostly "green" packed in oil and vinegar. Everyplace else seems to sell
mostly "white" and yellow" type vegetables in only vinegar or vinegar and
water. Not even close to what is used on beef sandwiches in Chi.

I'm what was called a "708" by "312's" back in the 70's. Now I don't
know how many area codes we have. <too many> So I'm not sure what
"jew town" is. Doesn't sound to pc to me though. <G> Grilled onions
on burgers are certainly common. Even slyders have them. It sounds
interesting and worth a try to do a dog with them.

You have my sympathy. <g> I don't understand why it's only sold here.
Anyone I know who's moved away misses it. For shits and giggles I
took stock. I've got 5 brands here, and more at my other home.

> I think I remember it

Mostly yes, but there are carrots, red peppers and cauliflower in most
brands. Celery and olives are green. <g> The better brands have less
vinegar and use EVO.

> Everyplace else seems to sell

We have that too. Sometimes called giardinera, but I can't remember
what else I've seen it called.

>Not even close to what is used on beef sandwiches in Chi.

No it's not. Beef sandwiches in the rest of the country are very
different from here, with or without the giardinera. I scratch my
head when I read the posted recipes to make them. They might be good,
but not what we eat.

For those who don't know: In Chicago when you order hot peppers for a
dog, you'll get sport peppers. For a beef, you'll get giardinera.
Either way you'll remember is in the morning when you take a dump.

I don't know where you are, but here (SW OHIO) I've been able
to find giardinera, and not the pickled cauliflower, etc. version.
One brand was Marconi, the other Pagliacci (sp?). I found some at
Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati, the other at a small Middle Eastern (but
really, a bit of everything) grocery store in southern Indiana. It
took some hunting around, but it was worth it. Good stuff!

Grilled onions are for Polish sausages and pork chop sandwiches in
"jew town" (real name "Maxwell Street"). Away from Maxwell Stret, they
are known as "Maxwell Street Polishes" or "Maxwell Street Style
Polishes." There was a meat market near there that asvertised "Jewtown
Polishes." That open air market was closed recently and turned into a
trendy part of the UIC (Univ of Ill at Chicago) neighborhood.

Thanks Gar
I'll be in the city for the holidays, and there's both near my mom's
home (On Cumberland betwen Higgins and Irving Park I think there are
both)
I didn't know those were Rosen's buns..I remember Augusta and Rosens
rye....my dad used to stop off at the fish market on Fridays on the
way home from work and pick up a caraway rye, sliced, with some smoked
whiting (what a great golden color that fish was)
(Catholic of course, no meat on Friday)
