Dave's Red Hots

Chicago

Hot Dog Joint

$$$$

This West Side favorite has been serving hot dogs to the Lawndale neighborhood since 1938, making it one of the oldest hot dog purveyors in Chicago. The wieners are still Vienna Beef natural casing, and the fries are still cut fresh and loaded on top of the dog -- which features the typical minimalist toppings of mustard, relish, onion, and sport peppers as well as thinly sliced kosher pickles.
