Best hot dog place in Chicago

[Omeletpants]

Go **** yourself. Portillos is great.

That's cause you are a prancing noob and didnt grow up in Chciago where all the great places are. Portillos hot dog are like rubber, their french fries have the texture of plastic and thier burgers are cooked so well done they are like hockey pucks. And then there is their beef. Here is a picture from the Beef Shack and Portillos. Wonder which looks better?

Chicago is known for hot dogs but it probably is the best restaurant city in the country with a possible exception of Las Vegas. So many options.

Portillos is fucking horrible tourist trap for noobs that know nothing about a chicago hot dog.....idiot

You don’t like Portillo’s? I thought you loved Portillo’s?

You have the palate of a goat.

Not to be pedantic but does a self respecting Italian/Chicago beef have cheese on it? Are they covering up inferior beef flavor?

I sometimes get cheese and onion on my Italian beefs from my local pizza joint.

And except for NYC, SF, and LA.

I disagree. NYC has more restaurants but not better restaurants. San Francisco and Los Angeles don't have as diverse restaurants as Chicago.

Ask yourself why the City of Chicago only has one Portillos and it's in the tourist area. They know that they cant outsell the local city places

All the rest of the Portillos are in the suburbs where the noobs, prancers reside

You talking about the one in River North? This is the rare occasion I'd agree with you. While not as horrible as you're describing, way better dogs and beefs at the local places IMO.

You're reminding me of a Confederacy of Dunces.

Except you aren't smart or witty. You just eat hot dogs.
