I know that this is dangerous territory since there are flaming debates out there over what makes an official 'Chicago' dog. But, this is what I've come to know and love as a 'Chicago' style dog for several years now.
Where did this all start for me? A fun little place called 'Freddy's Frozen Yogurt'! My mom and I stumbled across the place some years ago and happened to try their rendition of a traditional 'Chicago' dog - which was fantastic!...
