Hot Dog Stands for After Ball Games

Gene & Judes, River Grove - I heard somebody say those dogs are bad for you! I'm in big trouble!

pelotasalivar:

Don't worry about those dogs...they've all had their shots.

How about Heavenly Hotdogs in beautiful, bucolic, downtown Riverside on Burlington Rd. just a few storefronts east of Longcommon Rd.?

Good dogs and super friendly service!

Play Baseball,

Aren't you supposed to to eat the hot dogs at the concession stand during the games? That's some baaaaaad hot dogs too. Hard buns, cold dogs, 6 year old mustard packettes...that's why I head out for a beef after the game.

Actually, the last time I bought a hot dog that wasn't at a baseball game was in the early 1980's and that was from Gene & Judes.

Gotwood, sure I fell for that old "come on into beautiful Riverside" once before. Took me 4 hours to find my way out. Are they ever going to straighten out those streets?

If you ever venture into the city ...you must go to Superdawg . It is located at Devon and Milwaukee .

Sully,

I can tast that "double whoopsie cheesy" and fries right now.

My choice above all others would be 3 Dog Night on Diversey near the Lake...but its been a long time.

Gold Coast Dogs are as good as it gets.

Superdawg is right up there.

Soxnole,

What were you doing on Diversey near the Lake? Hmmm. LOL. Just a little farther west is The Weiner Circle on Clark. Doesn't get busy until 1 or 2 AM. Great food, great fries, and employees who cuss you out and call you all kinds of names. Just their shtick.

I thought weiner circle was........ Sheffield/Addison and Clark!

soxnole - that is uncalled-for, true, and quite funny. Still hearing rumor a Sox player is one of their better customers over there.

Most concession stands don't have the dee-lish-us fluorescent green sweet relish (or do you call it picallilly?)

With all the "Best food" post everyones going to know that baseball is not my true passion.
O'Malley's on 35th Steet. Just west of the the Worlds Championship Chicago White Sox Dynasty Headquarters. Still closed for the winter but opening day will be soon. Try the gog charred. The deli at the Kosher Best Meat Plant on Pershing. Just southwest of the World...... no need to run it in to you Cub fans anymore. Rabbi on site to bless the food and all.

Change gog to dog

pelotaslivar......

Gene & Judes......yah man.....you got that right!!!!!!

The best kosher dogs, with grilled onions can be found right on U.S. Cellular's concourses. Dogs in any other parks are weiners. Get your season tickets now, if there are any left.

The Dodger Dogs at Dodger stadium in Los Angeles are pretty good .

For all of you submarine guys, i am going to tell you one of the best places nobody knows about.....Bari foods on Grand ave and May st. in Chicago . Great footlong Italian and meatball subs for five dollars . One of the best in the city . Its worth the trip .

This has been enlightening!

I intend (and Smokey and ballfan know this to be true)to complile a list of establishments mentioned herein and visit each one.

A thread regarding "Dining on the run" by individual ballpark/city could be a lot of fun and lead to additional gastronomical delights!

soxnole:

GREAT IDEA!!! We've all been in a strange city (or out of our element) and the big question after the game is "Where to meet and eat?" Most families are tired of meeting at the fast food franchises but are a little reluctant to try an "unknown" eatery.

Imagine all the gastonomical gems we've missed! Your idea will solve this dilemma. Looking forward to it! I'd be happy to help if you need it.

Thanks!

soxnole.....

I think you need a partner!! Yah know, someone like me who will give another evaluation of the fine cuisine at these "world renowned" establishments!!!!!

"FOODS MY GAME, ASK ME AGAIN AND I'LL TELL YOU THE SAME!!!!!

Boomer...call (708) 945-5120.

ask for Sir Lunchalot!

After last night's game in Oak Park, we stopped at Johnny's on North Avenue. The line to order food was out the door and the beef sandwich and hot dogs were terrific.

ANOTHER GOOD HOT DOG PLACE IS MAXWELLS RIGHT BY UIC EVERYONE IS FORGETTTING ABOUT THEM FOR 3 BUCKS YOU GET A HOT DOG, A BAG OF FRIES AND A SODA

coug...Used to remember the joints on Maxwell and Halsted.

Where is Maxwell's now? Specifically...located?

thanks.

maxwell street is probly the best for your money...one right by UIC if you play St. Iggy...but theres an equally good maxwell street bus stop on diversey/clybourn....
but the best hot dog stand is on roscoe and california...its called Hot Doug's...you may have seen it on wild chicago, or some channel 11 show...their fries are better than gene and judes

at Big Sammys in elk grove you can get 2 hot dogs, an order of fries and a drink for $1.99

dam where in elk grove thats a deal right there

beenthere maxwells is right off the expressway get off on roosevelt and go straight it will be right there you can see it when you are on the expressway you used to be able to smell it but UIC built them new satnds so you cant smell the onions in the air
