Welcome to the jungle
David Plotz went on a mouthwatering "American Barbecue Pilgrimage" in Slate this week. He didn't say anything about Chicago 'cue, but I forgive him because he mentioned the stockyards. That, combined with all this talk about Chicago hot dogs, did two things.
It made me hungry.
And it made me realize that next year is the centenary of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. What kind of celebration there will be? My neighborhood bookstore
There's an important question for any food-related anniversary: Will there be a cookbook?

Ok, the Chicago Hotdog is the best, hands down. Vienna all beef, non-greasy, topping smothered hotdog with a pickle and a handful of fries all wrapped up to go.. MMMM. You can't beat the price. Most places are only 2.50 for a dog with fries. In florida that'd be five dollars and they won't even steam the bun! Portillos is good, Mickey's (635 Manheim Rd) in Bellwood is really good if you don't mind stray bullets. (I love how blogger tripple posts)
