NYC Can Bite Our Weenies

2005_07_hotdog.jpgBecause there are very few things one can depend on in life those which we can depend on we tend to cling to for dear life.

For instance, Chicago hot dogs. They are the best. That's all there is to it. There is no sense in arguing because you would be wrong. And the halfwits who voted New York City's hot dogs better than ours must have been dropped on their heads as children.

Seriously.

Here at Chicagoist, we take our hot dogs seriously. We do not fuck around when it comes to our frankfurters. We're near insane when it comes to our love of hot dogs. It being National Hot Dog Month, and the month coming to a close, Chicagoist brings you some of our favorite spots to grab a hot dog and be glad that no matter what any poll tries to tell you, you've another reason to be glad that you live here.
