Thursday- Hit the Big Sammy's in Elk Grove Village on Biesterfield. 2 Chicago Red Hots. Great dogs. Juan, Sammy's personal dog chef, was full of information. No they are not Vienna Beefs. They are Chicago Red Hots. Apparently the nephew of the Vienna Beef people decided to branch out on his own, brought a milder dog to the table and called it a Chicago Red Hot. Picture to Follow. The King 2.0 The Prince 0.0
Friday-Made a very special trip to the World Famous "The Weiners Circle" improperly identified by the citizens of Chicago as "Weiner Circle" 2622 N. Clark. There is nothing circuitous about this fine establishment. As I drove by the first time I thought why is this called a Circle? On the fourth pass around looking for parking, I realized what they meant by Circle. Contrary to internet reports the staff was quite friendly at 10:30 AM. Maybe it was the site of a King in a suit that changed their attitude after the late night drunks had cleared or maybe everything on the internet is not always accurate? Anyway, the dogs did not disappoint. They were roasted on an open flame less than 3 feet from the counter. Nice homey touch. The Best Char Dog ever taken down by the King, and I was sober. Headed back to the highway, another sign caught my eye "Vienna Beef cafe and factory store" a/k/a the Heart beat of Chicago. Hit it for one more mid-morning dog.

Saturday- The Dog Show hits the road. Hit my first roller dog of the month at the Coralville Shortstop. The roller had been disseminated by Iowa football fans but left me a lone Ballpark, no bun. Jim Bob at the counter tracks down a lone bun in a bag, I added the "cheese of the day". No Ricos, new appreciation sets in for the Pig as the bun crumbles in my hand. The King 1.0 The Prince 0.0.

Ah the Weiner Circle. I have had several post-Cubs dogs there. I do admit that I have no idea what an Iowa Hawkeye fan would do to disseminate a roller grill.
