We weren&#8217;t quite sure how they&#8217;d fit into our schedule, then looked up <a href=\"http:\/\/hotdougs.com\/menu.htm\">Hot Doug&#8217;s<\/a>? and noticed that they were open at 10:30. There&#8217;s no real convenient Burger King for a meatnormous, so hot dogs for breakfast it is.<\/p>\n<p>On the drive over, I got a little worried that it might not meet Catherine&#8217;s expectations. Or rather, I got worried that Catherine even had expectations. She hoped she could get her dog grilled. Well, we got to the place (3 street intersections in Chicago are just ridiculous&#8230;) and her eyes lit up. I haven&#8217;t see her smile like that in years. You see, you could get your dog grilled (default), steamed, deep fried, or&#8230;hold on to your seats now, this is what got Catherine smiling &#8211; you could get it grilled and fried.<\/p>\n<p>I went with a Salsa special of the day. Don&#8217;t remember exactly what was on it, but it was damn tasty. Grilled. With everything on it. And then a Don Rickles &#8211; &#8220;beef, pork and garlic&#8221; &#8211; that might be my next tattoo.<\/p>\n<p>She had a regular dog. She wanted to start basic. Fried and grilled though. With everything. The fries are good too. Duck fat fries on fridays and saturdays&#8230;is it good luck before a wedding to have duck fat fries? I think so.<\/p>\n<p>For round two, I went with an italian. Two thumbs up as well. Catherine, not sure if we&#8217;d be back (schedule not desire), decided to have one more too &#8211; the Madonna. She dug it big time too. Too much for her, she packed some up to go. Car smells wonderful now (the Art Museum wasn&#8217;t a real big hit with Sal today). If El Sombrero was like Mexican Thanksgiving in October, this was definitely an All American Meat Christmas. If we go back, I&#8217;ll get a t-shirt.<\/p>\n<p>When we saw a basket of cheese fries go by &#8211; Catherine slapped my arm. She normally doesn&#8217;t slap me. Cause she knows what happens next. But she was so moved that we didn&#8217;t think of getting cheese fries ourselves, she couldn&#8217;t resist.? If you ask her though, she&#8217;d say that Hot Doug&#8217;s was worth the black eye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bloomies gave us a list of places to eat in Chicago.
