one of my students, nick c., is from chicago. his mother has been going back and forth to visit her mother (i think she is ill) and nick asked his mom to bring me back some chicago hot dogs! and she did...nick showed up after school on tuesday with a package of vienna beef hot dogs and the poppy seed rolls they go on! i immediately canceled the date i had with the exercise machines at american family fitness and went instead to the grocery store to buy the things needed to make a real
chicago dog.so what makes a chicago hot dog different from any other? start with a vienna beef hot dog, which is only native to chicago. add yellow mustard, bright green relish, 2 slices of tomato, a kosher pickle slice, onions, a dash of celery salt, and 2 sport peppers! sounds awful, but it sure does turn out to be fun! they say that when you bite in to all of the ingredients at once, you are supposed to experience a "snap" and you do!
i didn't fix all of them, just half, and saved the rest for a rainy day. but it just wasn't the hot dogs that day...i also got my shipment of honeybells and mini-bell tangelos! deeeeelish!
