when it comes to the best Chicago hot dog i am torn between Fat Johnnies on the south side and Jean and Judes in River Grove IL. I like both for different reasons and i simply just cannot pick one.
Fat Johnnie`s
when i was first introduced to Fat Johnnies i was a sophomore in High School at Brother Rice in the South side of Chicago. There was a staff member that would bring in Fat Johnnies on his way to work and people would place orders through him and it was great! My favorite is their Fat Ones which is a 1/4lb hot dog Chicago style and instead of a pickle they add a cucumber topped off with celery salt.
Jean and Judes
Jean & Judes hotdogs are amazing! they are always packed and for a reason. everything is fresh and the is one of the best chicago hotdog you will ever have! The french fries are fresh like they literally cut the fries and then directly fry them in front of you! great place if you're in town i highly recommend it! i dont even like french fries but their french fries are on a whole different level
