Hot Doug’s Hot Dogs

A legendary hot dog stand in Chicago, Hot Doug's serves some of the most creative frankfurters in the country.

Of all the hot dog joints in Chicago, none are as good, or as "out there," as Hot Doug's, a small corner shop on the city's Northwest Side that earns its self-declared title of "sausage superstore."
