I respectfully disagree, we create many recipes in the kitchen that are even better than the originals (in our humble opinion). It’s all about perspective and individual taste. I love how passionate Chicagoans are about their dogs!

Nothing is “just as delicious” than the real thing. A knockoff does not deserve to be called Chicago Style. Either it is Chicago or it isn’t. Call it something else.

Craig! Thank you so much for the feedback – perhaps I should have entitled this “Best Chicago Style Hot Dog when you live about as far from Chicago as you can get” :P Trust me, the knock off is just as delicious though ;)
