the caddillacs are nice and all but what exactly is a chicago dog
ive come to understand that certain parts of america have a preferred way of making and dressing hotdogs and to do so otherwise is blasphemy and/or will get you shot
Koegel's Vienna frank, fresh cut onion, mustard, and Flint Original coney sauce. I've known people to make one the first meal following cholecystectomy.
I’m a refugee from Flint, Michigan. Angelo’s Coney Island restaurant was open pretty much 24/7 if the AC, Buick, and/or Chevrolet plants were running. The arguments over which recipe for the ‘coney’ sauce is authentic are legends in themselves.
There’s a long history of neighborhood joints turning out classic dogs, so eating these in your neighborhood starts when you’re a kid, then it stays with you for life. Chicago pizza is actually at a much crazier level than this. Way more divisive and tribal than hot dogs. Comfort food in a place that’s increasingly not comfortable any longer.
But there are other versions that are spectacular. Lots of nuance to the better versions. I was back in Chicago recently for the first time in 4 years and made a point to have some great pizza.
Yes, if you mean a four door without a “B” pillar and frameless side windows. All subsequent Sedan deVilles had framed windows and a “B” pillar. 1976 was the end of the line to was once was referred to as hardtop’s.
I’m kind of barging into the comments section of Tom’s cool article, but $&@-ing substack isn’t letting me send a message to Jack. My apologies to Tom. Carry on & tip the bartender.
Having grown up in Chicago, that's as engrained in my subconscious as Victory Auto Wreckers (710 East Green in Bensonville, near O'Hare) and Empire Carpet's phone number.
It’s nice to see that 90’s Fleetwood being cared for and appreciated. Around here, Cadillacs of that vintage were just kind of used up and left for dead.
SO much beauty there ! . thanx for sharing =8-) .

This is accurate. https://www.chicagojournal.com/the-definitive-chicago-style-hot-dog-recipe/
The last line is correct. “Ketchup is forbidden on a Chicago Style Hot Dog. May God have mercy on the tourist that requests it”.

Slaw on a dog? That’s an abomination.

you guys sound pretty serious about your hotdogs

see chicago pizza is a different animal entirely because its so easy to explain why its trash
We all eat thin crust tavern style 95% of the time. Deep dish is fine on occasion but most chicago style pizza is not deep dish
Deep dish IS trash. Tourist pizza.
But there are other versions that are spectacular. Lots of nuance to the better versions. I was back in Chicago recently for the first time in 4 years and made a point to have some great pizza.
You have no idea.
Of the establishments listed in the article, Jim’s Drive In at Lewisburg is the five star choice….. IMHO
hell id try it
Tom, was the last Cadillac 4 door hardtop in 1976?
Yes, if you mean a four door without a “B” pillar and frameless side windows. All subsequent Sedan deVilles had framed windows and a “B” pillar. 1976 was the end of the line to was once was referred to as hardtop’s.
Yes, no B pillar is what I meant. Saw the silver one in the article and was guessing the year. Thanks.
I did not know that the idea for the original hard tops came from people who bought convertibles and never put the tops down for the pillar less look. https://www.macsmotorcitygarage.com/gm-creates-the-hardtop-1949-buick-roadmaster-riviera/

Likely the same family, but the CLC show was at Ettleson Cadillac in Hodgkins, about a block from the town line with Countryside.
