This sign is your key to hot dog heaven.
Most would say that there’s little special about a hot dog. They eat hot dogs in Arizona and in Connecticut. They eat hot dogs in Europe. Despite the commonality of the hot dog, there’s nowhere that does it like Chicago does.
In Chicago, the hot dog is a delicacy untarnished by ketchup and created meticulously.
For a true Chicago experience, you want your hot dog to look exactly like the one pictured on the left. Generally, any establishment with that Vienna Beef sign will do the trick.
