Hot Doug’s
Other nominees: Al Khayameih, Khan BBQ, Lao Sze Chuan, TAC Quick Thai, Tank Noodle, Xni-Pec
Thumbing his nose at the foie-gras ban (he got fined for serving the “Foie Gras and Sauternes Duck Sausage”) and bringing inventive culinary-school chops to the humble hot dog, owner Doug Sohn is the punk-rock provocateur of encased meat. Sohn does it his way, closing at 4pm every day, taking impromptu holidays, piping in a soundtrack of the Dead Kennedys and dunking french fries in duck fat. But while Sohn follows his muse, he doesn’t limit your choices—there are always 20-plus sausages available, ranging from a basic Windy City salad dog to citrus-Burgundy pork sausage topped with sun-dried tomato mustard and blue cheese drizzled with honey. 3324 N California Ave, 773-279-9550.
