The Chicago Dog

Whenever I go out for a gourmet dog at DJ’s Hot Dog Company (sadly now closed), I always grab the Chicago Dog. I love the crunchy vegetables, celery salt, and of course, the neon pickle relish. Now, thanks to Russell van Kraayenburg’s new book, Haute Dogs, I am able to make an equally fantastic version of this classic hot dog (and many others) at home. If you’re into hot dogs like I am, you’ll enjoy the many recipes in the book.

The Chicago Dog

It’s Like Having A Tasty Dog Salad

Make sure you make more than one of these Chicago dogs because you can’t just eat one. I always think ‘fresh’ when I have one of these dogs. There’s lots going on in every bite. Fresh things. I feel good about eating a hot dog. Kinda odd, but that’s how it is. They just make me happy!

Also try my trailer park dog.
