It's not a wiener - not a frankfurter - not a red hot...
its a Superdawg!!!
Superdawg
6363 N. Milwaukee Avenue
Chicago, IL 60646
Superdawg is a drive-in hot dog stand located just 5 miles from Chicago O'hare Airport.
How cool is this place. You have to love the giant hot dogs....sorry Superdawgs on the roof. The restaurant retains a 1950s style. Customers pull their car up to one of the carports and order through a retro-looking metallic speaker box. The orders are delivered by a carhop with a tray that hooks on to the car door.
All of the sandwiches come with rippled french fries inside a box that helps retain its heat. Every Superdawg comes with a signature pickled green tomatillo (some think is a green tomato, but are wrong), one of Superdawg's distinctions from the classic Chicago-style hot dog, along with its spicier-than-usual wiener.
For those of you who don't know, a Chicago-style dog is a steamed or water-simmered, kosher-style, all-beef frankfurter on a poppy seed bun. The hot dog is topped with yellow mustard, chopped white onions, sweet pickle relish (a dyed neon-green variety called piccalilli), a dill pickle spear, pickled sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt. The complete assembly of a Chicago hot dog is said to be "dragged through the garden" because of the unique combination of condiments. ABSOLUTELY NO KETCHUP!
Check out this SuperSundae my district manager had. I love those old fashioned cream filled wafer cookies. My mom used to buy them for me when I was a kid. She said it was delicious, but a little difficult to eat in the car. No-worries it was a rental anyways.
