If you're a hot dog lover, Fat Johnnie's Famous Red Hots is a must-visit! 🌭 I tried the Mighty Dog, which is an amazing twist on the classic, featuring an American beef hot dog topped with tamale and chili. It’s chaotic in the best way possible!

The atmosphere is casual, and the staff is incredibly friendly, making it feel like home. The prices are surprisingly low for the high-quality food you’re getting. Just remember, it’s cash only! Street parking is available, so plan accordingly. Don’t miss this Chicago gem! 😋
