The Best Hot Dogs in Chicago, According to Someone Who Has Tried 'Em All

If you’re looking for the best hot dog in Chicago, you’ve come to the right place. While I can’t tell you how many hot dogs I’ve eaten in my life, I am sure that number is in the many thousands. After high school, I worked at Nick’s Nest, a hot dog stand in my Massachusetts hometown, where I would have one for lunch every day.

Free donut holes. Tiny boxes of Milk Duds. One Chicago diner has handed both to breakfast guests since 1958, and I honestly can’t decide which part delights me more.

This Unassuming Illinois Pizzeria Serves Sausage Pizza So Good It Should Almost Be Illegal

Anthony Bourdain called one pan pizza the only deep dish he ever loved. That pie still comes out of a small, homey pizzeria on a quiet suburban street in Illinois.
