Chicago Ladies...

...I was just watching Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmerman and I must say, I am jealous. They were at Franks 'N' Dawgs in Chicago and those hot dogs look soooooo good.

Umm... I'm thinking I need to take a weekend drive (about 8 hours from Mpls), and come try it out...lol.

Have you been there? Is it yummy or what?

I live in a suburb outside of Chicago and can't say I heard of it.  I need to check out that episode (when I get past my meat aversion) and go check out one of these hot dogs.  I usually love them Chicago syle!

I live in the burbs as well and have not heard of it either.  That being said, I have not had any food aversions, so if I can convince DH to take me, I'm going!    (I just can't justify driving myself a good 45min to the city just for a hot dog...ha)

From what I saw on the show they are not just hot dogs... more like ?haute? dogs. They are all very gourmet. Famous chefs from other fancy Chicago restaurants compete to come up with the next winning hotdog, and the winning one gets to stay on the menu. Some of them are pretty crazy combinations, but I love trying different cuisine, so it's right up my alley. Here is the website/menu:

I'm in the burbs and I've never been there either.  My favorite is Flucky's and I also need to go over to the new Superdawg.

That's actually not too far from me and I've never heard of it! Gonna have to try it now, like tonight....
