Chicago again, for fleeting introduction to local gastronomy: the Chicago-style hotdog. Fluorescent yellow mustard, neon-green relish, diced onion, sliced tomato, celery salt, dill pickle, jalapeno pepper, steamed sesame-seed bun. And a dog, of course.
At Portillo's, pickle spear overwhelmed everything. But hey, only two bucks. At O'Hare, Vienna Beef dog pricier but more, shall we say, balanced. Tapas on the shores of Lake Michigan. Burrrp.
