The Hot Dog Box

Founded by local musician Bobby Morelli and his daughter Brooklyn, the Hot Dog Box originally operated out of a shipping container in the Boxville Marketplace, located right off the Green Line in Bronzeville. Following in the footsteps of creative encased meats purveyors like Hot Doug's and Chicago's Dog House, the father-and-daughter duo is known for its speciality sausages, such as a beef dog covered in bourbon BBQ sauce and a dog paired with onions, pickle chips, grape tomatoes and mustard. Of course, there's also an extremely solid plain frank with ketchup, mustard or relish on offer if you're not feeling adventerous.
