I would agree, Sous Chef. While the hot dogs at Gray’s Papaya were great, they can’t touch some of the better Chicago dogs I’ve had. Part of it is in the spicing of the meat— more interesting in the case of Chicago— and part is in the toppings. Nothing beats the grilled onions, pickle and tomato (no ketchup!) of Chicago.

NYC is number one in many things, but I’ll pit a Chicago dog against a NY dog any day. Glad to hear that, on occasion, the hot dog cognoscenti recognize a good thing from Chicago when they see one, though (Obama).

Gray’s is one of my favorite places in the city for a budget meal. Having been away from NYC for a few years, it was the only food choice I planned and scheduled in advance on my trip there last week, and well worth it. The Banana Dacquiri with the Recession Special (going strong for at least seven years now) is my favorite!.

I hope that Empanada Boy will tell you about the “Transformer Hot Dogs” of his youth! Hog dogs, what an American tradition!
