The Original Maxwell Street

In my last post I talked about turkey wraps, and hot mustard, and what people eat for lunch. Then Jean from Renovation Therapy commented on Stage Deli mustard and her sudden craving for hot dogs, and now I want a hot dog. It’s a regular blogging food chain.

As a native Chicagoan I’d like every lunch to include hot dogs, preferably Vienna Beef. It is very sad for me here in Lawrence, without the hot dogs. Over the years many good-intentioned “Chicago” places have come and gone, trying to get it right.  But they don’t steam the dogs, they use the wrong relish or serve the wrong buns - and just when I decide to eat them anyway, the doors close and I’m dog-less again.

Here is a wholesome lunch from Michael’s, up in the north ‘burbs. It’s the real thing.
