Nothing beats an authentic Chicago hotdog. The poppyseed bun, florescent relish, sport pepper, Vienna beef, and salad on top are all a must.

Good Dog
A valiant effort but a Chicago hot dog fan is hard to please. This was from Chattanooga's Good Dog, one of but a few hot dog only places in the Chattanooga area. They get points for creativity with the "Dog Dust", a mysterious powder in a pepper grinder that has a definite taste of curry.

Chicago Hot Dog Earrings
These are so authentic that they even have the tiny little sport peppers on top. https://www.viennabeef.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=39

Wally's Hot Dogs
Wally's Hot Dogs
Lenoir City Tennessee
If you happen to be driving along highway 321 just outside of Lenoir City Tennessee, stop and say hello to Wally. He told his wife that he wanted to spend his retirement selling hot dogs and opened his stand on a remote section of highway with literally no other businesses around. He's from New York so maybe after all those years in the big city he decided to get away from it all. I gave him my blog address and he promised to stop by so he could see himself on the net. Hi Wally!
The dining room.
Hot dogs go for $1.75. Even less if you buy several at once. But ya need some chips Wally. Can't have a hot dog without some chips. Pepsi is only 75 cents a can. He has other flavors too. Besides hotdogs, he also sells kielbasa. I'll have to try that next time. I heard him say something about chili also, so I guess you could get a chili dog.
Wally does have his health department certificate in case you nay sayers were wondering.
I love the entrepreneurial spirit!

Damn the Food Network!
Paradise Pup
Des Plaines Illinois
Dammit! Thanks to the Food Network and that Guy guy, I will now have to wait 2 hours instead of one to get a good hotdog or burger at what I thought was my secret little spot on my way to O'Hare. The food network recently profiled this place on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. And for good reason. Even before being outed by the Food Network, the place was extremely popular with the locals. I noticed it while driving past on an otherwise quiet Saturday and noticed the line running out the door and around the side of the building. Of course I had to stop. The locals said that the line was actually short by comparison to the usual weekday lunch line. I was impressed by the cooks, who, unfazed by the long line, continued to systematically take and prepare each order with care and precision. Customers squeezed past each other to get in and out of this tiny little place. There were a few seats inside and tables outside but you probably won't find an empty one, and , like me, will have to eat in your car. One interesting note: outside while in line, a man was performing card tricks but stopped when he saw me take his picture (hm...)
