(5 Stars)
5 Stars for a hot dog place? That’s right! The first time I walked in I thought I was getting a hot dog. But, no. What I got was an experience. I don’t make hot dogs at home any longer after having tried Jerry’s Chicago Dogs.
I think I gained 3 pounds in under 30 minutes. . . I tried out a couple of Chicago Style hot dogs and loved it! I couldn’t compare it to anything as I had never had a ‘Chicago Style,’ but some guy that picked up a hot dog claimed to be from Chicago and said these dogs were right on. You should have also seen the Chili Cheese fries I ordered! Heck, go over there right now and get some!
Apparently everything here is brought in from Chicago, the pickles, hot dogs, mustard, buns, etc., except for the tomatoes and onions. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill, corner-of-the-street , some type of hot dog vendor. These are of the much better, Vienna Beef hot dogs variety and you can taste the difference.
If you’re lookin’ to go here, look very hard. If you’re driving past and blink, you’ll miss it. Tape your eyes open, or do what they did in Clockwork Orange and clamp them open! It’s worth it.
Note to self: Order just one dog with regular fries next time. You overstuffed your face with two dogs and felt overly full!
