So we head to Chicago to help some folks out with some issues that need ten Best Hot Dog in the World - Super Dawg ding to. On the way back we have to (we didn't choose to....we HAD TO) stop by SUPER DAWG. It's been around forever and my dad used to bribe his sisters with the Super Dawg's when he lived up by there.

To this date,

SUPER DAWG

continues to win the best Hot Dog in North America by most every publication and rating service in the world. Knowing where we were headed, I knew we had to stop on by. Guess what? When I called dad (at 72 years of age) he said pick me up 4 (1 for mom and three for him). I learn from the best!

Larry - What a cute story and picture. We used to be the same way when we went to Sarasota there was this hot dog joint we HAD to go to. Unfortunately they have closed now!

Love the kids and the face on your little girl is priceless. She's thinking "take the picture already" and "this better not be in another one of dads blog posts"!!!

Merry Christmas - they are adorable.

Hi Larry - Is this better than Hot Doug's? Because if it is - and I think it's going to be very hard to top a duck sausage and foie gras dog with fries cooked in duck fat - I'm for sure going there later this week when we'll be in Chicago for the holidays.

Larry, I heard my customer from Chicago told me that Chicago has the best hot dog, I wonder why? You are blessed with a nice family. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
