That's about all available. The polish at Chicago Al's is good too.

Perkins between Parrains and Zippys. Good little place. It's one of Jambos joints.

Five Guys makes a great dog, but the absence of chili on their menu upsets me.

Frankie's is good but I doubt they stay in business much longer. I, along with alot of others it seems like, just cannot justify paying very much for a hot dog. They make some really good ones, but I'm not going to pay $7 to still be hungry after I'm done with it.... Unless I was drunk.... But if for the same price I can get some decent tex-mex right next door, and a lot more food then thats what I'm going to do.

I had a pretty good hotdog from Sonic for lunch.


But really, I know Burgersmith has hotdogs and plenty of toppings to choose from but I've never eaten it because I always get the burger when I go there. Check it out though because on a certain night of the week, the hotdogs are super cheap.

Sonic's regular chili cheese coney is my favorite hot dog.

Hasn't it been in business for like 5 years? Why do you think it would shut up shop now if they have made it this long?

My brother used to work there and used to always say there is no way they keep going much longer, but that was 3 years ago so I don't know how they have stayed up since then. I have never seen another person in that building, and i was eating at pretty normal times of day. Last time I went they were giving out those buy 9 get the 10th free cards, and they were giving you the first nine punches. Seemed to me like they were just desperate for returning customers. Maybe it's just me but I think they have all the signs of a depleting business. Then again I doubt their costs are very high at all, especially with that tiny building, so maybe they can stay afloat.

Frankie's menu used to have a large variety to choose from. The last time I went, it was condensed to maybe half of what they used to offer. Still good hotdogs though. I enjoyed it.

I sold my half right before Hightower bought the place. It's extremely low overhead, and we rocked the wheels off that place for a solid year.
The menu is now half what it used to be, but the kid behind the counter was friendly and fast when I stopped there a few weeks ago.
Not sure what they call it now, but "the situation" was always my favorite. Hot dog topped with mac and bacon.
