Chicago’s Dog House: Where Hot Dogs Go Gourmet (and Wild!)

Forget your standard ketchup-and-mustard hot dog experience. Chicago’s Dog House in Lincoln Park is taking this classic American food to a whole new level. This isn’t just a hot dog stand; it’s a culinary adventure for your tastebuds.

Beyond the Chicago Dog:

Yes, they have a killer Chicago Dog, “dragged through the garden” with all the classic toppings (don’t worry, no ketchup in sight!). But what really sets this place apart is its wild selection of gourmet sausages. We’re talking alligator, rattlesnake, wild boar, and even duck!

My Adventurous Bite:

I’m a bit of a daredevil when it comes to food, so I opted for the alligator sausage. Topped with grilled onions and peppers, it was surprisingly lean and flavorful, with a subtle gaminess that reminded me of… well, a slightly more exotic chicken. Don’t worry if you’re not feeling quite that adventurous, they have plenty of tamer options like classic bratwurst and Italian sausage.

Frips? What are Frips?!

Another unique offering at Chicago’s Dog House is their “frips.” These aren’t your average fries. Imagine a potato that’s been spiraled, deep-fried to crispy perfection, and then optionally topped with cheese and chili. They’re basically a cross between curly fries and chips, and they are seriously addictive.

Why You Should Check it Out:

Unique Sausages: Where else can you try a rattlesnake hot dog?

Frips! Seriously, these are a must-try.

Casual Atmosphere: Perfect for a quick lunch or casual dinner.

Something for Everyone: Even picky eaters will find something to enjoy.

Final Verdict:

Chicago’s Dog House is a fun and delicious spot to experience hot dogs in a whole new way. Whether you’re a adventurous eater or just looking for a tasty Chicago Dog, this place is definitely worth a visit.
