Chicago Style Hot Dog
The Chicago Style Hot Dog was created in the early 1920s by a man named Philip D. “Fritz” Zelazny. Zelazny was the owner of a hotdog stand in Chicago called The Original Maxwell Street Polish Sausage Company. His hot dog quickly became popular and is now considered to be a staple of Chicago cuisine. There are many variations of the Chicago style hot dog, but the most popular version is made with a poppy seed bun, Vienna sausage, yellow mustard, chopped onions, bright green relish, a dill pickle spear, and sport peppers, often served with French fries or onion rings.
The Chicago style hot dog is popular throughout Chicagoland and is considered a signature dish of the city. There are many restaurants and food carts in Chicago that specialize in serving Chicago style hot dogs.
