Hosive

we’ve been traveling so i thought i would share a few places that we like to eat at not in nyc. again, not necessarily the best or whatever superlative…just places we go to regularly when we are in your town.

we went early to wait on line at the semi-world famous hot doug’s that features hot dogs….

what???? you say….wait in line? do you ever do anything that does not involve lining up? you ask. and for hot dogs???

the wait aint that bad when you are with good friends. we got there pretty early to avoid the hour(s) long usual wait but moved to the back of the line to avoid the dirty looks that came with our large group of cohorts coming in late. we gave up being #3 in line but the spot we got wasn’t too bad as the line had not grown too much anyway from when we got there. it was worth it to avoid some race wars between the asians and the others.

and we are not talking hot dogs….we are talking hot dogs. look at this menu…..this is for pros.

and this one! this is nuts! crazy and amazing!

here are more menu items…..

let me see if i can get this right….theresa and i tried the ribeye hotdog(amazing!!!! my favorite), the spicy beef hot link with coca cola bbq sauce(another superb dog), a classic chicago dog, the dave kingman(chicken hot dog)- both of these were for fun but still very, very good, saucisson alsacienne(luxurious)and one more i cannot identify. and of course the duck fat fries.

the theresa conclusion….we are coming back next time we are in chicago.
