As a hot dog girly, and a born and raised Chicagan, I love a hot dog. But this year's hot dog fest was just… Boring. There really aren't a lot of variety besides Chandoor Char House, J's (Mexican Street Hot dogs), and Chicago Doghouse.
I didn't find a single hot link the entire event, I couldn't believe it
There is a severe lack of diversity in hot dog selection and it just makes paying $8 for a hot dog hurt more.
I will say, the bacon wrapped hot dog from J's was the best I have had in a while and I understand why it was $12 after taxes.
I love the Chicago food festivals, I love getting a chance to try out new spots. But having the same spots every year and they're not really changing their menu up is getting a little boring…
Overall, I hope they take the feedback submissions seriously. Would love to see different kinds of hot dogs, especially hot dogs from other parts of the world.
Also yes I did pay $12 for the aqua fresca, and it was good as hell too.
