Chicago-Style Hot Dog

Our Chicago-style hot dog comes with everything—mustard, relish, celery salt, chopped onions, sliced tomatoes, kosher pickle, and sport peppers—piled onto a poppy seed bun and delivering that signature snap in every bite. With so many colorful toppings, it’s what Chicagoans call “dragging the dog through the garden!”
