Guys it’s always been this establishment’s shtick, they’ve been featured on Food Network doing this s**t. People go there expecting to see the show. That being said, Chicago hot dogs are my favorite hot dogs on the planet but if I were in Chicago this would absolutely be the last place I would go because I don’t care about a damn show, I want to get and eat my food in peace.

There was a sit-down restaurant chain, I believe they had one in Pigeon Forge, whose shtick was the wait staff was deliberately surly and mean with the diners. I wouldn’t go there in a million years either, I don’t care how good the food is.

Not all out brawls. Some smack talk back and forth maybe but not a full out riot with the employees

Dicks last resort

All these joints seem to have a phallic theme to them

It gets absolutely insane at night there. The nighttime crew is the worst and they are known for pulling out their boobs and flopping and flashing them at customers who egg them on and tip them for doing it. It’s called a chocolate shake. Food Network showed it of course blacking out the tits.

Don’t get me wrong, I think this place is disgusting and I wouldn’t go there in a million years even though I can put away some Chicago hot dogs. (Must have the bright green relish.) My point is that a lot of this is a deliberate show that people actually go there wanting to see.

Just hot dogs. Usually you go there for the show and to be insulted....its part of the shtick. You aren't supposed to take the insults personally.

There is a bit with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog with Jack from 30 Rock that is hilarious.

Those are only char dogs and are not the original Chicago depression dogs with mustard, onion and relish.

I've been there and it's not good. A buddy of mine worked at a spa kiddy corner from that stand and there was always trouble there.

Another reason not to go there.

My question would be why anyone would deliberately go to such a show. I went to a comedy club one time and got insulted by the insult comic who was performing and I didn’t mind because it was the time and place for that. Maybe it’s just me but eating even at a fast food stand is not the time or place.

The funniest part from the dog puppet was randomly throwing in "588-2300". Anyone who grew up in the Chicago TV viewing area knows the endless commercials for Empire Carpets, and the jingle "588-2-three-hundred".

I got a dog there literally 50 years ago, lived in the city at the time. They were known for the sass, but as I recall, it was nothing like that at the time, just some wise-cracking.

Yea, if it's got to that level, I'd avoid it as well. Lots of places to get a great Chicago dog.

To be clear, if it *doesn't* have the nuclear fluorescent green relish, it isn't a "Chicago dog". Gotta have all seven toppings: yellow mustard, chopped white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, pickled sport peppers , and a dash of celery salt. Don't *ever* skip the celery salt.

And it's true, ketchup on that ruins it. It's just a wrong flavor mix, mushes the sharpness all out, it's just not right. But that is often misunderstood - you can put ketchup on a hot dog if you like, but don't call it a "Chicago dog" if you do, cause it's not.

It would be like replacing the seafood and andouille sausage in a Gumbo with plant based 'Impossible Burger stuff', and still calling it a Louisiana Gumbo.

Yep, and probably 100 other places!

Wiki says: "The Chicago area has more hot dog restaurants than McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King restaurants combined."

Some very good ones in the near suburbs as well. The key is the Vienna casings. They have to have that "pop" to them.

...Casciani's, Henry's, Novi's, Rand red hots, Johnnie's Beef, Parse's.... also all excellent.

However avoid Portillos.
