Hot Diggity Doug's
My arteries got a work out this weekend. After numerous failed attempts, I finally made it to Hot Doug's. The 40 minute wait in the sub-freezing temperatures was more than worth it.
If you are ever in Chicago, this is an absolute must. Bring lots of cash, and probably call ahead to make sure they're open. The insane popularity of this place means Doug can pretty much close shop whenever he wants for however long he wants and there will still be a long line of suitors waiting anxiously for his return.
Waiting in line for our dogs.
Famous duck fat fries (Fri. and Sat. only!)
My dog: brandy infused Portuguese chorizo with saffron rouille and boucherolle cheese
Other notable mentions:
- cilantro-chipotle smoked chicken sausage with mole and cotija cheese
- onion pork sausage with bacon-garlic mayonnaise, duck grand-marnier pate, and truffle-balsamic cream
- antelope sausage with cassis creme-fraiche and Danish fontina cheese
- chardonnay and jalepeno rattlesnake sausage with ancho-lime mayonnaise and smoked gouda cheese
And of course, there is a wide selection of your 'regular' dogs served up Chicago-style or any way you like. Drool. A whole world of encased meats is waiting for you!

Newfoundland native David Kennedy, 62, was on the same flight. He flew to Vancouver from South Korea where he is an English professor.
He was headed home to Newfoundland for the holidays but a representative from the airline told him they might not be able to put him on another flight until Dec. 23 or Dec. 25, which means he may not make it for Christmas Eve.
"Christmas will be over by then," he said.
"The best part of Christmas is Christmas Eve, cutting down the tree, decorating it, cooking the turkey . . . not the day after Christmas."
