If you find pickle slices, try to get the most garlic-ey kosher you can. |
Unfortunately do not have all of those ingredients at my disposal, but I hear you loud and clear... a genuine Chicago style elevates the humble dog to mythical heights, but I want the full garden of tomato and pickle spear
There is a place in Springfield Il that I used to eat at several times a week, and they did them to the exact specifications... celery salt, bright green relish, sport peppers etc
They were a one stop shop for all kinds of food like that... authentic gyros, Chicago dogs, decent Italian beef, Phillies etc
