Superdawg Drive-In: superdawg.com/
First on our hot dog journey, we visit the historic Superdawg Drive-In, a true Chicago landmark since 1948. Located at the corner of Milwaukee, Devon, and Nagle, this family-owned and operated drive-in has been serving their unique Superdawg™ for over seven decades. With its retro vibe and carhop service, Superdawg offers an experience like no other.
What We Ordered: The classic Superdawg™ - a pure beef hot dog, nestled in a poppy seed bun, and topped with all the classic Chicago-style fixings including mustard, relish, onions, pickles, and peppers.
Devil Dawgs: www.devildawgs.com/
Next, we head to Devil Dawgs, a modern hotspot that started in Lincoln Park near DePaul University in 2010. Known for its quick service and premium ingredients, Devil Dawgs has rapidly expanded across Chicago, bringing their unique take on hot dogs and burgers to several neighborhoods.
What We Ordered: The Chicago Dog - featuring a premium beef hot dog topped with yellow mustard, bright green relish, chopped onions, tomato slices, a pickle spear, sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt, all encased in a poppy seed bun.
By the end of our delicious journey, we’ll reveal our favorite Chicago hot dog and explain why it stood out to us. Was it the nostalgic Superdawg Drive-In or the lively Devil Dawgs? Watch to find out! Don’t miss our first-hand experience and honest opinions as we explore these iconic Chicago hot dogs. Whether you’re a foodie, a hot dog enthusiast, or just curious about what makes these Chicago-style dogs so special, this video is for you! #food #foodie #tastetest #BritsTry #ChicagoHotDogs #Superdawg #DevilDawgs #ChicagoFood #FoodReview #ChicagoEats #HotDogTasteTest #ChicagoStyleHotDogs #BritishCouple #FoodVlog #ChicagoFoodie #HotDogComparison #ChicagoIcons #BestHotDogs #FoodieAdventure #BritsInChicago

If you really wanna be specific, the order of construction on a Chicago dog is: Dog in bun Mustard Relish & onion on opposite sides of the dog Tomato and pickle also on opposite sides of the dog Celery salt Sport peppers. Always celery salt before peppers. You want the dry celery salt on top of the moist condiments, not the drier peppers.

Hey guys, it's not an old gas station. It is styled after a 1950s/1960s Drive-In. Back in the day, there were diners which u could pull your car up to the carport area & a Car Hop (Waitress/Waiter) would come out take your order. They would place your order w/the cook, & then return w/your food on a special tray that would be hooked onto your car door @ your driver's side & sometimes passenger side open window. You'd have to make sure your window was completely open. It was for the convenience of eating in your car. Back in the day, the Drive-Ins were hang outs/meet up spots for driving teens. I went to an old fashioned Drive-In w/my family when I was a kid. To let u know, there are Drive-In movies too. When I was a kid, my family would go watch movies from our car because it was cheaper & u could see a Double Feature. They'd have these metal speaker boxes that u could hook onto your window in order to listen to your film. The sound quality wasn't that great & you'd have to crank the volume all the way up to hear it.😄 There are a few Drive-In movies still around. Now, u can hear the movie thru your car radio.😊 Anyway, that was all I wanted to say, & give u a bit of American Drive-In history.😊

I am glad to see you are enjoying the food in Chicago. I can't comment on either of the places you tried. When I was growing up in the '70s and '80s, we HAD to stop at a street vendor and get a street dog on almost every trip into the city. I admit they were using brats or beef sausages and not what most people would consider a hot dog, but getting it straight from the cart and then adding the topping you wanted. One of my most adds was sauerkraut. The Chicago street dog is more famous than the Chicago hotdog and has been used in movies. James Earl Jones had a scene in a movie where he was released from prison, and the first thing he did was get a street dog. "While You Were Sleeping," starring Sandra Bullock. Her character gets a dog from a street vendor several times in the movie. I haven't had a street dog in Chicago for a couple of decades, so I can't say they are still as good as they used to be, but I do know when we had relatives or friends come and visit, they all wanted to try a street dog, not any hotdog restaurant. I apologize for the length of my comment.

That looks so good! Especially the fries, omg. It's great that you're both trying and enjoying food that you didn't like before. It's like "eh, I'm going in!" and you like it! I have to confess I've always been a little afraid of the radioactive green relish in Chicago, but it must be incredible if it's that popular. Honestly, I didn't ever think that you'd do a hot dog segment because I wasn't sure that you eat them in England. You have such incredibly good sausage there. I haven' really eaten hot dogs since I accidentally lost a paycheck in my 20s and had to live off hot dogs for 2 weeks. Maybe it's time to give them another go. Thanks for another great video!

The correct way to order is "sweet and Juicy" for dipped w/sweet peppers or "Beef w/hot" is not dipped and hot & sweet peppers. Also try a Combo, Same sandwich, same as above but 1/2 beef and an Italian Sausage.

Also for a authentic true Chicago creation and staple of childhood is a Pizza Puff, hunt down a real "Iltaco Pizza Puff" for some classic Chicago nostalgia. prob can be found at most mom and pop burger and hot dog joints.

I got hooked on kosher Chicago-style hotdogs decades ago. There was a hotdog vendor who frequented a park at a nearby lake (in central Washington), and he prided himself on his craft. It was always a treat.

I'm grateful for the memories that food can create. It's amazing how a simple hotdog can hold such nostalgic value.

I love listening to you speak. Nicola you were so polite ordering that hotdog.😊 I prefer my hotdogs grilled so my favorite would be the Woopzdog also the veggie seem to be cut smaller and less overwhelming than the other hotdogs.

Several places are known for their hot dogs. Cincinatti has what's called "Skyline Dogs" that are drowned in chili. Arizona has the Sonoran Dog, a spicy dog served with guacamole, salsa, and other toppings. Nathan's in New York is world famous for their hot dogs. The scrambled dog from Columbus, Ohio, features a cut up hot dog buried in coleslaw, chili, oyster crackers, shredded cheese, onions, and relish. Detroit is home to the Coney Island Dog (A bit strange, since Coney Island is in New York,) and features a hot dog with beanless chili, mustard, and onions (Coney sauce is delicious.) Cleveland is home to the Polish Boy, a long piece of kielbasa topped with coleslaw, french fries, BBQ sauce, and hot sauce. There are more examples. While you're in Chicago, you might want to try the Bronzeville Bourbon Dog at Hot Dog Box. It's a unique local creation.

Chicago takes its hot dogs very seriously. For a food that is usually just dismissed as kid or comfort food, Chicago strives to make the hot dog an actual adult meal. Before they passed, you could see Maurie and Florie Berman hanging out at the Superdawg locations (using doing the accounts- Maurie was an accountant by trade). They actually autographed a shirt for me. :) And the Whoopskidawg is their take on the Polish sausage/ kielbasa sandwiches a lot of places offer at hot dog joints (Like Jim's Original)- but whereas most Polish sausages get served w/ mustard and a generous helping of grilled onions, Superdawg serves theirs w/ barbecue sauce- not necessarily "authentic", but really, really good. Other good spots to check out are Wolfy's (their char-dogs are amazing), and Gene & Jude's out in River Grove (oh, and that's close to Hala Kahiki, so you can get a gigantic tiki drink adterwards). :)

The story you're telling about Chicago hot dogs is about the original Chicago hot dog: depression dogs. They're different. 35th St red hots and Gene & Jude's do depression dogs.

I’m a native of West Michigan and, while I didn’t live in Chicago, I was about 2 hours away from the city and spent a lot of time there. I’ve since moved to New England-Boston, to be exact-but I have been very homesick for the Midwest lately, and especially Chicago. I miss Chicago style and Detroit style pizzas especially-the thin, Neapolitan style of the East Coast is fine but deep dish is the best to me. I’m sure if you’re in Chicago there’s a pizza episode coming up, and I’m looking forward to it! Definitely bring your appetites when you try deep dish; I can only eat a piece at a time, maybe two if I’m extremely hungry! Edit: If you ask people for recommendations you’re going to get some strong opinions in the comments for sure-some Chicagoans feel very strongly about their pizza faves. The last time I was there was for a concert and I ordered from a place near my Airbnb called The Art of Pizza which I really enjoyed. I also like Lou Malnati’s and Gino’s East-those are just two of the more well-known spots. I don’t think I ever had pizza in Chicago that I didn’t like though for me it’s about the crust and there are some that I think are better than others 😊 Have fun!

If you guys are still in Chicago and are going to get Italian Beef sandwiches, please order them wet/dunked/baptized/soaked and hot. It's the only way to do it. That is true Chicago style. You can also say "sweet" instead of "hot" for sweet peppers. Some get it both sweet and hot.

A great number of cheap but large sandwiches and other food were created or became popular during the Depression to satisfy hunger for cheap. Hamburger variations in Oklahoma, Hawaii and Mississippi.
