I'm a big fan of the club's Hot Dog Rides. It's a terrific idea that's been expertly crafted and superbly delivered over the years!
I was wondering of all of the places that we've been to over the years what are your personal favorites?
My current top three hot dog eateries are:
1 - Gene and Jude's in River Grove - my gold standard for hot dogs and fries. In my mind there is no better combination of vienna dogs with just the right crunch factor, perfectly steamed buns, handcut freshly made fries, tremendous value and old school atmosphere!
2 - Slott's Hots in Libertyville - don't think we've visited this fine establishment yet, but . . . it's where I go when I'm teaching at my Vernon Hills training facility and anytime I'm driving down Milwaukee Rd. Full service menu, restrooms and seating area inside and outside. Excellent food at a fair price. The dogs are good, but the beef and sausage sandwiches are awesome and topped with the best grilled sweet peppers I've ever tasted. Motorcycle friendly.
3 - Delicious Red's in Lake Zurich. New this fall - it occupies the old Main Dog and the insurance company that used to be next store. Good news is the menu is modeled after Gene and Jude's - dogs, hand cut seasoned fries, tamales and soft drinks. They differ from the original in that they do have seating and bathrooms. Better news it is a motorcycle themed dog stand, although the owners need to be schooled on what a proper motorcycle is.
I'm looking forward to others comments. Mine are biased towards what I grew up with and were I currently live and work.
