What is a Chicago dog you ask? A Chicago dog is usually made from Vienna Beef which is Bull meat. This is supposed to give the hot dog a little more spice. Also the dog is covered with relish, hot peppers, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and mustard. I decided that I would try my luck and experience this Chicago tradition at the mother of all dog houses, Gold Coast Dogs.
I bumped into Gold Coast Dogs at the taste of Chicago and things were hopping. The person who took my order was super friendly which suprised me considering the volume of business they were doing and how hard they were working. Once I unwrapped this little gem and took a bite, I was in dog heaven. All of the condiments were like a big salad on the top of the hot dog and it was quite delicious.
